I think of Levi Jones as the perfect backup LT. Injury prone, but he can come off the bench if Samuels gets hurt, so the fact that he's injury prone doesn't matter. Then, we can go with anyone at RT.

Me too...but would you play him at RT while Samuels was healthy or just let him ride the bench?
...btw what is the extent of Jones' injury history? Is he on the downward slide or did he just hit a rough patch.
