I think Christensen will probably be a starter from here on out

Put Brady at G…Miller and Daley have got to be replaced

Honestly, there is so much chickenshit on this OL, I am not sure the best way to make chicken salad from it. I will leave that to the staff. I don't envy them in this endeavor.

Let's be completely clear on the OL, there isn't likely to be a silver bullet combination that is going to make us suddenly competitive or elite. This is likely just a "least bad" venture.

Well Christenson got in and did alright, maybe when Brown is 'in shape' enough another spot could be upgraded but no silver bullet coming down the barrel for sure. I mean not unless a team flubs out and we are in playoff contention and there is a trade deadline trade or something.

I think the odds of a trade windfall are slim. Fitt seemed to indicate that.

I would rather not overpay for a guy when we still need 4-6 more guys to shore that line up.

Yea including depth its a bit off. They have been calling around so they clearly know the OL is dookey. Just need to run quicker options for the passing game until CMC comes back and when he does get back that part of the offense just jumps dramatically.

Don’t like the idea of moving Moton, he’s a top ranked RT. Keep him there and let Brady play LT… he’s no worse than Erving.

[Mr. Scot]

I would keep both the current tackles.

The interior? Move Erving and add Brown. Paradis is Paradis but we don't really have a better center unless maybe Elflein can come back and look good.

This is pretty much how I see it as well unfortunately.  The line is just so bad that how to shuffle the terrible pieces into the least crappy version of an OL is not easy to see.   I'm not sure there is a one or two player shuffle or replacement thats gonna help and I'm real glad it's not my job to figure it out.

This would be a much better choice than what we are seeing so far.  I fear even if we see that lineup it will take time for them to jel.  So basically the offense is fubar at the moment and possibly beyond.  

Another game like today and things are going to get interesting in BOA.

It is hard to scheme away that big of a weakness, unfortunately.

I'm not sure it should.

I've said about a hundred times that I view this season as a transitional season. I know the first few games heightened expectations but so far it's still about what I expected.

Unfortunately, there's so much crap in this forum right now it might be time to take a break.

TBH, I don't think there is a "much better" version of the OL waiting for us, no matter the moves we make.

[Jon Snow]

I'm starting to question this offensive scheme that the wonder boy has concocted.  So far it's looking like he can't adjust to his team's weaknesses or the other teams adjustments.

I am with you on taking a break from this place. I've noticed a lot of the old regulars have disappeared as well.  I think I'm going to head north.
