What happens if one of our tackles get injured?

LT Byron Bell not in pads today. He seemed to hurt his right foot during the game.
 
Bell is not in pads today at practice and it got me to thinking about his backup (and Chandlers for that matter).  It's David Foucault.  The rookie from Canada. Gary Williams was the other backup but he's out injured.
 
I'm one of those guys who thinks Bell and Chandler can get the job done.  Not elite by any stretch but they can hold down the fort as they say. 
 
But, good lord, if one of them gets hurt and can't play WTF do we do?  I don't even seen any Tackles on the practice squad.  Just Dennis Dixon at guard.
 
And please try to answer with something besides, "Kiss our ass goodbye" or "Start planning Cam's funeral".  Actually, you can answer with something like that.  Better to laugh at this then cry.

I mentioned in the game day thread I saw Byron on the ground grabbing his foot.

I doubt they would put Foucault in there, but who knows. Probably slide chandler to the left and maybe put Garry Williams (or is he ired?) at right

 

Pretty sure WIlliams is on IR again.

 

Agree that Chandler probably slides and RT gets backfilled.

Garry Williams - Placed on injured reserve with an injured back (9/27/14)

 

So we've got Faucault and that's it.  While I like Faucault, that is scary.

 

I would think they'd at least have someone on the practice squad.  Can any of our guards or other backup linemen play tackle in a pinch?

To answer the question of the thread--we improve at tackle.  

 

jk

 

There's a few different things we could try.  Zod mentioned the likely.  Chandler to LT, Foucault to RT...or maybe Norwell at LT? haha

 

Hell maybe shift Amini over--so we have: Amini-Velasco-Kalil-Turner-Chandler.  It can't get worse than it's been this season...can it?

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
