I didn't watch the game for the first time in years.
I choose to be happy again.

Levi Jones will start after the bye...I guarantee it.
Heyer aint a horrible RT though.
We basically now have 4 Tackles that are very similar...they all kinda SUCK
Its just that Levi probably sucks less than the others...assuming he knew the playbook!
(excluding Samuals of course)

The front office apparently did. Heyer was an undrafted free agent. Most of us probably figured he would be a backup, someone who could hold up for a game or two -- but certainly not a full-time starter. What the fans correctly see as a stop-gap measure, the front office wrongly sees as a long term answer.

Yet again, guess who was right?

I don't think the front office saw him as a long-term answer at LT at all. RT yes. LT no.

Yeah, that's what I meant. He went in for Jansen at RT originally. But Zorn says LT is his 'natural' position . . .

Stephon Heyer has been directly responsible for two safeties so far this season. He was blown up by Peppers in the Carolina game at RT for a safety & again Sunday against KC at LT causing Collins to be sacked in the end-zone. This guy plays like what he is, an undrafted free agent. He just happens to be all we have right now, hopefully not the best we can get.

Watch Heyer during the Collins safety again. He commits a false start that wasn't called and still couldn't protect with that advantage. We're 6 weeks in and our OL is in shambles...almost laughable if it wasn't my team.
