who to get, it's the fact that they don't even try new people. Jones looked better than Jerry in pre-season. Fluker did well for the Chargers at RT. Flowers would likely be a better LT.
I guess that is the mode we are in now in that we are looking to sign old,veteran,maybe washed up players to come in here and start.
The biggest issue for me with the inept offensive line is we have seen poor play from this same group for years now and we don't even shuffle around or try other players we have to change things for POSSIBLE improvement. Time for Jones,Fluker,or Wheeler to at least get a look or move Pugh and shuffle the line.
Some of them could have something in the tank, no one would take risks on them until after week 1. That way the contract has no guaranteed money.
I would bring in Oher and Mangold for a work out. Lights fires under some peoples ass, and maybe 1 of the 2 would actually work out. Oher couldn't possible be worse then Hart.
but I rather see the burned up husk of Mangold out there then what we have it cant be that much worse and it at least acknowledges that they are trying to figure out a solution then the insanity of keep trying to accomplish it with the same OL the past 2 seasons
when you're suggesting players who are no longer able to play in the NFL, according to 32 teams.
There is absolutely no harm nor foul in bringing them in for a look now for a try out. No guarantee on salary at all if they actually play. All long odds, but you got to turn over ever rock at this point.
Will be interesting to see if they bring anyone in
Thank you. To think that washed up players sitting on their couch can come in and start on a successful team is ludicrous. I would either shuffle the o-line or give ANY of the second string offensive lineman an opportunity. Yes,I would even put Wheeler in at left tackle. I don't care how much weight or how much boxing Flowers does,he stinks. He is a bust and it is time to move on. Can he play guard?I doubt it but it's worth a look. Because you're big,strong and come from the U doesn't make you a good football player. I could say the same for the right tackle. To play the same five guys who failed so miserably last year is criminal. Hard to fathom what the organization was thinking?
The team knows this and I am sure they will look at all options. I hope to see some guys in for a workout. 2-3 options. If they come in and are no better then it is what it is. At least try something. Jerry and Hart are not starters anywhere in this league.
Shake things up at the very least.

There's no solution sitting home on his couch.

Don't you think some of these incumbents have been handed jobs because of where they were picked rather than what they have done on the field?
But this point here and now is there's no solution coming from outside the locker room, it's wishful, magical thinking.

I think this is something fans say when they're mad and need the easiest explanation for what makes them mad.
You should show your work on this and explain how anyone who was deserving of a spot didn't get one.
