No mo, no one yet and probably not until the last cuts. Any vet OT with starting experience will get every benefit of the doubt if he's healthy. Shoot, the Seahawks are still clinging to "the Turnstile" just like we did aren't they?

I'm coming to the conclusion that the overall level of LT play in the NFL pretty much sucks. Look at all of the OT's who have been drafted in the last few years. How many of these guys have become starting LTs? It's a little tough to acknowledge this but we may not be quite as bad off as we think we are once you look at other teams struggling with the same problem.

idk soul I look at the bills who have no problem getting rid of LT once they want to get paid lol. They never seem to have a problem. They went from Peters to Bell to who the hell knows this year I guess lets see it work. We will see if Solder is any good now that he will take over for Matt Light. idk man arent we due yet already lol

Because we are so thin at OT. We have no 3rd besides CW and Brown who's nowhere near ready. Poor planning there. After jettisoning OMG you would have thought that a vet FA signing would have included an OT rather than an OG like Rachal.

Now we are trying to convert our best LG into a swing tackle and find/make a new LG out of two former RGs.

Over due I'd say. Hell if Chad Clifton can walk and talk bring him in for a physical and if he can play well enough to backup let him coach Webb in between series on game days. He's faced just about everybody Webb will face so maybe he can give him some pointers.

IDK either mo. I have no real good suggestions and I sure don't have any solutions. At least for one more year it sure seems like it will be Webb again so all we can do is hope for some improvement until something else comes up.
