Well... On the plus side having Norwell at LG helps this some. I hope he heals well.

Of the guys available, the best player I saw with NFL LT experience was William Beatty. He'd probably be a serviceable backup. Personally, I'd sign Timon Parris off of Washington's Practice Squad though or Storm Norton off the Cowboys Practice Squad.

I think Linder could play any of the 5 positions on the line, and I remember Marrone even saying that in one of his interviews a couple of years ago. If something happens to Wells I'd put Lunder at LT and Shatley at c

reported on ESPN and NFL Network. Tough loss hopefully Wells keeps his play up.
09-17-2018, 09:25 AM
The only positive is he will have more time to recover.

Next guy up, speedy recovery Cam, you will be missed.
09-17-2018, 10:12 AM
I hope they sign someone quickly.

Luke Joeckel is available.

So then you've got 2 spots on the line that are changed. Not gonna happen. They'll find a guy to serve as that swing tackle to replace Wells now that he's the starting LT.

I thought about him when I was watching Fisher play for Kansas City and think well they chose better.

This is basically the worst case scenario for the o-line.
Wells looked fine yesterday, but he won’t hold up against better pass rushes that are keying on him.

I think we can get by with signing a LT/Swing Tackle and just having ASJ in tight with Wells to help offset the RE from time to time. Quick passes will help to. I actually think it plays more to our scheme.

Do we have a 5th or 6th round draft pick? I'd look around the league and make a trade if possible. Boselli said this morning that Richardson is not moving. No way. He isn't a LT.

If they think Linder can play LT that's what I would do. Shatley has always looked good at center.
