Q: With Brett Keisel out for a while, is there any chance we'll see Orpheus Roye soon? I always thought he was a dominant force. Our D-line could be as follows: Aaron Smith; Casey Hampton; Roye.

Sean Snyder, Canton, Ohio

BOUCHETTE: I think you'll see Travis Kirschke starting there on Sunday, but they'll rotate Roye and Nick Eason as needed there. It's one reason they signed Roye in August, to give them more depth at end because they saw what happened when they lost Smith at the end of last season. With Keisel out a month or two, those three should be able to handle that spot.
