All 5 of those guys should be able to fill in for injuries, especially during a rebuild when you want your prospects to see how they measure up and what they need to improve. O'Brien was brought in for his toughness...nothing else, and we need that. Remember last year? Butler I would like to see moved but I'd rather see at least Breen and Sieloff given the chance. As for Smith, he's the perfect 7th guy to sit in the press box. Don't want any of the prospects sitting.
