I still think if there were a long-term injury, Batch would be the guy - at least initially.<br />But they could keep Dixon as No. 2 on game day to open up some options.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-29555682444023316982009-08-06T18:55:53.909-04:002009-08-06T18:55:53.909-04:00All,

Bouchette said normal scope procedures usually have players back in 2 to 4 weeks.<br /><br />Depending on what they find, there's a possibility Stapleton could be ready for the first game or soon thereafter.datruth4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491881345131204471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-5221067265009488112009-08-06T18:55:08.461-04:002009-08-06T18:55:08.461-04:00good point adamg.

He could give us a different dimension and add in a few plays on game day if he were the #2. We could put in a few creative packages for him and force defenses to game plan for it.kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-74894526907744423782009-08-06T13:28:32.545-04:002009-08-06T13:28:32.545-04:00Collin,
