What's the plan?

That's the question reporters will be asking Greg Schiano today, when the Knights will have to make some kind of a move towards solidifying their depth chart at middle linebacker.

Schiano said yesterday that he'll need to have a plan in place no later than Friday night, when the Knights will start planning for the opener agaisnt Buffalo.

Today we'll see if it looks like the Knights are going to stick with Damaso Munoz in the middle, or move Brandon Renkart or Chris Quaye there.

Jim Dumont and Ryan D'Imperio will get on the field at some point this season, and both have been practicing. But Dumont has a giant club on his broken right hand and can't use his fingers, and D'Imperio won't be ready for the opener because he's still recovering from the broken leg he suffered during spring practice.

Yesterday the Knights practiced outside despite a steady rain, and they might do that again today. If that's the case I'll be more prepared. Yesterday, I was one of two morons wearing shorts and a t-shirt despite weather you'd expect to have shortly before Thanksgiving.

Today, I'm breaking out my authentic Red Sox windbreaker in honor of the Sawx' five-game lead over the Yankees in the A.L. East.

I'll check back in after practice and let you know what kind of answers Schiano has to the questions that are still facing his team.
