“Properly, you’ll be able to’t change an Andrew Thomas. I really feel horrible for him. I used to be capable of textual content with him right this moment. He had his surgical procedure this morning, all the things was profitable. He’s a frontrunner, he’s a captain, he’s nice within the locker room, he’s an excellent soccer participant. So, that’s what the event of gamers is all about. We’ve had six weeks right here within the common season the place Evan (Neal) has taken, I’d say, nearly all of proper sort out snaps in case one thing occurred to Jermaine (Eluemunor). Ezeudu has taken left sort out snaps. However then, as soon as this occurs, you could have discussions about the way you need to strategy it. We’ll do just a few issues right here this week after which in the end after Friday’s observe, we’ll make our choice on how we’re going to go along with that.”
