You don’t just take a left tackle for the sake of it this year, I know we’re all worried about Trevor getting hurt.
All 3 of our qbs got through the season with out serious injury, we all keep going back to the Bengles, burrow was getting 7/8 huge hits laid on him every game, non of ours were ever taking hits like that.

I know it’s a popular opinion that out line is terrible, and I’m not saying it’s a strength but it’s by no means a huge weakness either, it would be impossible for our rookie rb to have the season he did if they were that bad.

Look at PFF's OT rankings. They watch every single play each OT participates in and both of our OT's rank near the very bottom of the league. There is actual proof how bad they really are. It's not like we're making this up. Look at their blocking grades.

Again I wasn’t  saying they were the best, but when your team is down early in every game and you’re having to play from behind and DE’s know you’re going to throw it’s very hard for lineman to get a high grade, and while pff do some very good things they don’t know the blocking assignments called on plays so they’re really only guessing like everyone else.
