So to re-state your point (paraphrasing and taking liberties with verbage):

our oldest lineman, after the off-season purge, went on IR as expected, so now, rather than rely on the young lineman we have developed for this expected occurrence, we should go out and re-sign the older lineman we purged.

in response:

our starting line's age is now:

Heyer - 25
Rinehart - 24
Rabach - 31
Dockery - 29
Samuels - 32

I don't think that is old. Injury prone perhaps (Samuels, Rinehart) but it's definitely a younger line.

I feel like AA brings something that we did not have before, a true change of pace back. I dont agree with signing an aging replacement in Kendall. Rinehart and both Williams' have been inactive on Sundays, it makes sense to plug one of them into the opening. Rinehart makes sense, its a guy that we drafted, and have groomed for this occurence. If we did sign another lineman at this point, he would only be sitting the bench anyways. If there was someone out there that would start in front of Rinehart/Williams/Williams he would be here already.

But....no way do we need 5 running backs, there has gotta be a trade in the works.
