What do we do exactly?
Let's get one thing straight for sure: losing your blindside protector is a killer injury. It's arguably the worst position to lose besides QB. It played a huge part in our protection woes when Solder went down.
But yet I still can't feel safe with going into next year with the same personel as we had last year. But what do we change? Which of our young linemen that we've drafted will be developed into our future starters? Do we draft more linemen even though we had four young linemen in their first or second year in there this year?
My take on it would to bring in a little more tackle depth, (preferably a tackle who can run faster than a potato ) and bring in a veteran guard that could help the younger guys develop one more year. It would have really been nice if we brought in Evan Mathis this year, and we saw how well it worked out when we brought in Waters in 2011.
I'd like to know the forums input on this, though. It's a bit of an interesting situation going into the offseason.
