I think folks should be up in arms over the fact our FO failed to draft/acquire a legt backup in 2+ years...I mean sure it was a bad risk to play Thomas but who would have played instead? The line was and is in shambles w/o some responsible management...somehow I doubt even this will serve as a wake-up call.

Just to play devil's advocate they did draft rhinehart in the third last year which is a good spot to take guards/centers. Its still unknown whether he will amount to anything but they did try with him. That being said one O-linemen is not adequate.

Fabini proved that his old man skills play very well at RG. Instead, he was inactive most of the year, and finished at RT, where he was hilariously overmatched. We just didn't have anyone else.

But the "Jansen must go" crowd obviously didn't notice that the big white guy giving up all sorts of pressure against Cinci and Philly wasn't, in fact, Jansen.
