i hope

they don't screw up this O-line shake-up. I worry about beachum with a playing hurt foster next to him, if he starts at LT. as wolfley said, he's the best LT on the team right now.

I hope they don't want to force levi brown into that spot any time soon. beachum will allow ben more time in the pocket and it may not always be pretty, but it's effective.

I also hope they don't just accept the play of gilbert at RT. i'm reading to much about him playing better but I don't see it. that double move eats him alive and is going to get ben killed. I would liked to have seen brown get some time at RT with DD over there.

I hoped cody Wallace may be in the guard mix as well, or at least center and velasco get some guard work, instead of whimper. i'm not completely down on whimper, but just not at LG next to beachum, or brown.

to think gilbert was going to be our LT as camp started. he played some guard at florida, why not try him there?

 

for me the best combination is this one from left to right :

beachum brown velasco decastro adams

 

Kind of the way I see it too. Not sure why Adams isn't being inserted at RT?

 

Brown should start if not, why bring him into the fold in the first place?

 

I know you like brown at guard but, i'm not sure he's ever played inside that i'm aware of, or how good he is on the move.

I think it's way to early to put adams back in. he's got a lot of work to do.

 

Good question. Personally I don't see Brown in the game at all. I believe his job is to get better in the even they need him ... Can you say depth?

it might be as simple as having another slightly competent LT on the roster if something happens to beachum. I don't think they have faith in adams(obviously), gilbert or whimper.

 

These kind of player personell things such as who should play where on the line, should of been done already in camp and preseason. This kinda tells you where was the coaching or better yet the lack of coaching prior to the 5 th game of the regular season.

 

keeping whimper on the roster was a incredible waste of money

 

I fully agree, but Colbert/MT are to stubborn to say so because of their draft position. more proof of his bad drafting. neither gilbert or adams are good enough to be starting and they knew it when camp started.

 

Especially when he's below the line from a preparation standpoint. Why even dress the guy if he's not ready to play. Foolish!
