I said it. I've watched every play so far this season, and while both have made mistakes, they both overall have been solid. With roughly 60 offensive plays in a game and each guy making a mistake on less than 5% of them does that make them "suck". Rinehart has started 1 or 2 games, Heyer has started 17. And at this point what do we have to lose if we let them play together at RG/RT and see if they will develop into a good tandem on the right side.

You want to blame Heyer for the safety this week? You tell me how you take a lateral first step against one of the best DEs in the NFL and expect to drive him off the ball on your own 2 yd. line. That was a piss poor play-call. First drive of the TB game both Rinehart/Heyer looked bad, after that they pulled themselves together.

Can I go down the list of all 32 teams and tell you what teams these two could start for, I'm not going to take the time to do that. But I can tell you that the play of these two guys is a minimal factor in our offensive woes this season.
