He’s a guy who plays at a high level week in and week out and his presence out there is definitely going to be missed. It’s going to be tough, but there are guys who have stepped in for us several times this year already — Ty Sambrailo, he’s a physical guy who was with Atlanta. Anytime he stepped in so far this year he’s done a great job for us.”
