I did not hear the interview, but KJR's Mitch Levy had Mike Holmgren on this morning and the station is reporting that Holmgren revealed that Marcus Tubbs had follow-up surgery on his knee to clean it out. Holmgren said Tubbs may not be available until the regular season. John Marshall did not mention this when we interviewed him the other day, though he did sound pessimistic about Tubbs' return.

I am listening to Mitch go back over the interview, and apparently Holmgren said Rob Sims will be the starting right guard, the running game will be by committee, which means that Mo Morris will be on the roster, and he does not expect one back to ever get 25 carries in a game.

Nate Burleson may not be punt returner next year if Burleson is a starting wide receiver. Holmgren did not say who the replacement would be. Rehab on Deion Branch going well but he does not expect him to be there at the beginning of the year.

He said he is more concerned about the defensive tackles then the defensive ends. And that he has challenged his defensive coaches for the players to be better on the road.
