Re: We've got big trouble on the OL.

When did the RT position become so important in lieu of everything else?

When the opportunity arose to pick apart the decisions of the front office again based on a little injury news.

Fact of the matter is I'd rather this happen now than after week 1. At least KL is expected back for the regular season.

And it does present an opportunity for the young guys to get a lot of reps with the first and second groups. Better to fail now then when it counts.

Since chico's Oline Offseason Edition thread where many agreed Oline and RT in particular were issues. I think QB, WR, S, RT, CB were all positions where improvement was needed. The Cap penalty was certainly an issue, but there were certainly veteran players who were available and affordable. Ill still point to both the 3rd and 4th round where there was solid RT talent. Options were available and we got fooled again.

And we made an effort to get those guys. If we hadn't drafted LeRibeus in the 3rd people would be complaining we have no depth behind Lichtensteiger

Is McRib gonna play guard? Heard that hasnt been going so well, looking more like a Center. SS, when does anyone complain around here?

Well at least Laron isnt fooling us again this year, only JB. Roger Daultrey should be our lead vocalist for the Skins.

Any word on Willie's injury?

He's a rookie, for one thing. So struggles are expected. And he's learning both G and C

How exactly are you defining "complain"?

Willie is fine health wise

Very good to hear. Ive heard he "did not practice" yesterday and i think today but wasnt too sure what that meant. Hopefully hell be back soon.


Anyone know how much Big Mike Williams is weighing these days?
