It should be noted that I am fairly certain from everything I have read that George Williams will be playing for San Jose. That will give the Sabercats their top 2 lineman back on the field (Joe Jacobs being the other) for the first time in over a month. You cannot underestimate how much these two mean, mostly offensively in giving Grieb time. As the Cats stumbled home down the stretch, their number one issue was lack of protection and the number two issue was lack of a pass rush. Both of these issues will be addressed with the return of Jacobs and Williams.

Best of luck to everyone for the games this weekend.
