Quote:If Sam Young is starting. No way we win this game. That dude was trash

I follow the logic behind cutting Austin Pasztor and keeping Young. Young can play both sides, whereas Pasztor is pretty much a right tackle only. That said, Young is awful, always has been, and seems to be this regime's version of Guy Whimper: the migraine that no amount of Excedrin can cure.

 

The thing that really concerns me is that if Joeckel is out, our tackle depth consists of Young, Parnell and, presumably, Bowanko as the backup on both sides. There really aren't any other options on the roster or practice squad, aside from possibly swinging Linder or Beadles (who played LT in college) out in an emergency. In short, an injury to Young puts us in bad shape. An injury to Parnell would completely thrash the line.

 

If Joeckel is going to miss time, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a veteran tackle added in the interim.
