OL Option

Anything besides McCray.  How dude gets cut and sitting on his couch to the starting lineup when we have 3 or 4 PS guards, some there all season, is beyond me.

Are we the only team that is looking seriously at bringing in guys that have been out of the league for years? Cohen, Martinez, now Fluker.

Might as well go after Norwell, he'd probably be no worse of a G option than Jensen or McCray

I thought McCray looked better than anyone else the team has trotted out there at LG all season.

We've cut him twice and likely a third time if we sign Fluker.

Right...

The question for me is, why haven't we brought him back sooner? He made a few mistakes, but he wasn't the constant turnstile, they've marching out there for the past 10 weeks. Plus his run blocking was very good.

Yeah, it wasn't a high bar to clear but he did.

Run blocking, there's the difference right there. Get back to a run heavy game plans. Let the maulers maul, otherwise its just a set of turnstiles outside of a kindercare facility. 

And use Blackshear as the RB2 instead of Sanders. He's just too small to ever provide any protection for Bryce. He's actually smaller than Bryce. Sheesh.

I imagine Gabe Jackson probably gets elevated this week after getting up to speed. 

Brown may get a shot too. 

Cant be any worse lol

He's much better in the rushing attack than pass pro.  Pass pro is where we need an upgrade.

100% agree, but he's MUCH better in pass pro than Zavala and whoever else was over there - Toth maybe?

They were ridiculously bad.

If we draft perfectly, we might have a mid tier OL in 3 years.

My money is on the Panthers overpaying some free agent this offseason and watching them flop next year.

I don't have that much of a problem with it once we get this far into the season.

Guys like this might not have a full year in them but sometimes they've still got enough left to play five or six games.
