And I'm not saying it's final, but there's a chance that tight end Alex Smith, depending on the formation we're in on the first play, might be one of our starters. And we'll make a decision here on left guard Dan Buenning in the next couple of days.
Quotes about buenning (4 Quotes)
I think they were really aggressive. I think both Anthony Davis and Dan Buenning were very aggressive on the left side. I don't know if you realized but the majority of the time when we were running the ball it was to the left side of the field behind those guys. I think they did a great job of establishing the line of scrimmage. And they did a better job in pass protection than I think any of us thought they would, so that was very encouraging.
We hope it can. We got our first glimpse of what these guys can do wire to wire. We've had so many of them injured, Buenning and Anthony Davis have missed starts in the preseason and John Wade has been somewhat limited. But yeah, we hope to grow offensively, starting up front.
We feel like Buenning has really taken advantage of his opportunity, ... He's a physical guy, and we're really excited about him. But we'll see where Stinchcomb is tonight and go from there.
