Did we ever hear why Novil didn’t play?

High ankle sprain, I believe.

Radio broadcast said his ankle was bothering him. Played in the first series but that was it.

Glimpse of what the line looks like next year... it ain't good

I know it is wishful thinking on my part, but let me dream for a moment.  What if Novil came back and we ran he and LeBlanc at DT with Pickett, the Murphy Twins, Dodson, etc... at DE?  I kept wanting us to do that this year, but never happened.

I do have to admit I was impressed with Leblanc. I think he played well. Was probably tired out in the second half but that is understandable.

We have left he D on the field too long this year - Something like 35 minutes a game. LeBlanc, or whoever plays the nose gets double teamed almost every play. Would like to see a 4 man line with LeBlanc and Novil in together
