    I'm hoping they stick with the same OL they used yesterday

    Robinson/Tomlinson/Patterson/Howard/Ersery.

    Anybody hear about Andrews injury?

    Tough for a rookie that spent most of the PS on the left side to suddenly get switched to opposite side for NFL debut. Yes, he played some RT in camp and PS games, but it was far from ideal way to begin his career. Ersery will get better, kid has right attitude and talent needed to be really good.

    Absolutely. Switch sides mid game as well.
    Tough for anyone, but specially a rook

    Right, why not let Sting run a couple of routes to try to spark the offense. He was only hurt a little. What could go wrong? I love 59, truly forever, but he/his staff missed big time moving people around like that. The kid had no shot. We'll see if he's any good; one game, like that, wouldn't model well for any rook. That was coaching...

    Jesus just keep him at one position. They’re doing him a disservice by moving back and forth. It’s utter incompetence to continue doing it. Seth made a point of it yesterday morning and I totally agree.

    He was pretty great in the run game and struggled in the passing game.

    Totally shocking for a rookie starting at LT in week one.

    What a surprise. Vita Vea wrecked our interior. I said he would feast and that man ate like a fat chick at a Chinese buffet.

    OL success is about consistency, the more a unit rolls out play after play with the same personnel, the more in sync they develop. There are going to be growing pains with a new OL, even if they were all top tier. But we know this current OL is patched together on the fly (reminds me of the movie “Necessary Roughness”; as was expected the OL is getting manhandled, but there is hope they can string some consistency to protect their prized QB.

    But the first 2 week have been tough to watch, especially the lack of protection.

    Garbage. Same as tunsil with crippling penalties, half the talent.

    He sucked today. He's a rookie LT. It happens.
