Robert Hunt update

It's been a shocking turnaround, from the FA pieces of Lewis & Hunt being a success and then stacking that with depth pieces that have contributed on top of Ickey progressing. Turned around the offense on a dime. 

What they've done with Ickey boggles my mind

Absolutely no reason to rush him back.  The O-line is miraculously holding up.  Keep him in our back pocket for a potential playoff push.  I don't think his presence will make enough of a difference at the close of this season to really push games our direction.  It literally all hinges on Bryce Young being able to play at least adequately.  That's all this team needs.  If we get into the playoffs and Hunt is fully healed and ready, that's the time to bring him back.

The third string guy drastically outperformed Zavala. Just cut that dude please.

Please do not rush him back if he is not completely healthy. Don't need him screwing up his biceps again and missing games next year also...

That being said, would definitely be nice having him back at RG. Although I do think Curhen has been pretty solid and was a good find off of the Cardinal's practice squad

Curhen has performed both well and absolutely terrible.

Ideally we get a real NFL caliber OG in there when Corbett slides back over.

I'll take solid with a couple of bad plays over Zavala being awful on just about every pass blocking opportunity.

Curhen was on the Cardinal's practice squad for a reason - he isn't very talented. That being said, I think he has done a solid job in the games he has played.

I don’t feel good throwing him out there in his first game back against Vita Vea but hey they’ll make the call

If the argument is Zavala vs. Curhen, the battle is already lost.

I gotta disagree here, reason being that our OL coaching is significantly improved.

Not sure who but Curhen has former connections with someone on our staff.  They obviously knew something more about him.  He's no Andrew Norwell but we ran the ball at will with this guy so he does deserve some props.

Zavala for whatever reason cannot stand up to the demands of playing in the NFL.  He's collecting a paycheck but rarely is available.  I'd rather move on and work with guys like Curhan that at least can stay healthy.

Canales and Curhan go back to their Seattle days.

He can sit NO, but we need him back for Tampa

Because we ran so well against NO last time

You can disagree but I would suggest looking at recent games for Curhan.

I am not expecting the world, nor should any of us, but we also shouldn't be surprised when a PS player gets abused in games.

That's a very unsuccessful strategy.

Cuhran did not play well last week when I watched / noticed.  However, He does not cost us over $1m per game either.  He has been solid up until then-not sure how he graded vs the Rams, but I would bet "not great."
