Kalil dealing with knee injury

[FakePlasticTrees]

The tweet actual says dealing with a "knee issue" rather than "knee injury". Perhaps it is a chronic or intermittent condition rather than injury. As much as he may be disliked, things can always be worse.

Problem is his knees buckle under pressure

A lot of that downfield speed at WRs goes down the drain if your line is too decimated to be able hold a block for more than a microsecond.  Go routes will be  transformed into hitches.

I totally agree that it is time to swing a trade for some line help.  We were thin there even after the draft, but now, particularly if crippled Kalil can't go, it is essential to the function of our offense to secure some additional help on the line.

I played some Offensive Tackle many years ago in High School.... Maybe I can Help out.

We could replace him with Remmers and only see a minor drop off.

I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Tyrus Thompson. He was the LT at OU during Daryl Williams' time there and was nearly universally considered the more talented of the two. Plenty of rumors swirled about work ethic concerns leading up to the draft. We just happen to have a guy who should be able to provide great insight on Thompson on and off the field. Hell, for all I know, Daryl might tell Hurney not to touch the guy with a 10 foot pol

He can't make the Seahawks roster

I don't like using the "He can't make X team" excuse much but like. Their O-line is garbage.

Derek Newton is...capable, at least. I wouldn't really want him but fug Kalil can't stay healthy enough to at least be mediocre.

Didn't the Redkins pass rushers suck when we plucked Addison from them?

May finally see Moton to LT and Sirles at RT like I wanted.

Looks like thats been the rotation in practice.

With Kalil sidelined, Taylor Moton moved from right to left tackle and Jeremiah Sirles stepped in at right tackle.

They had Orakpo still and Ryan Kerrigan heading into his second season.

On top of that we developed Addison for a few years.

What stuck out most to me here is that Ron is still referring to Amini as a starter. Someone please help us.

It’s always something. 

Regardless of what happens, severity of the injury, or however long he’s out, we need to cut him loose after this season. It’s time to go in another direction.

Lets deal Kalil to Gettleman for a Bobox to go . No refunds .  I wonder if we can do an injury settlement and find some cap relief , then look for some O-line help .   Better before cut downs and season starts .  We could use some Hurney magic now .

Bigger bust than Shaun Gilbert. Thanks JR.
