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.

You will see the Canadian giant at right tackle and whoever is healthy over at left. You will also see a free agent tackle signed. I don't think trading for one is an option anymore.

The Huddle panics.

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?

[Mr. Scot]

We don't even have a tackle on the PS.

 

I think Norwell has played tackle, though.

Yes, but hasn't taken a snap as a pro in practice at tackle as far as I am aware. Although its possible he has once the media is booted out.

Most of the names available in the unsigned players pool  make me wince.

[Jeremy Igo]

Its possible Amini fills in at RT if its an emergency.

we dun dog

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? 

[chknwing]

after seeing that block on briggs, can we just do the wild cat and play cam at LT?

[davos]

In before someone mentions B-Will at LT
