Ramczyk will slot into left tackle with Mr. Glass departure; many of Ram's incentives are tied to him at LT...

I still defend "Mr Glass". Nobody is better.

But man I'm coming over to your side (years later lol). The guy just can't seem to stay on the field. It's maddening. He's worth every penny when he plays.

Who are you inserting at RT? Is Landon Young ready? Tumbleweed Peat? This guy isn't nearly as good and just as injury-prone as TA.

Ruiz is getting bull-rushed, Ramz is having a down year, etc ...

For me, our O-line has been a disappointment in 2021.

I did see Ruiz totally whiff on a couple of blocks this week. I don't see that happening a lot though. I've seen Peat get beat way more often. Overall, I've been encouraged by the guys who have come in due to injury. Hurst and Throckmorten especially did a good job as replacements.

Any league response only comes after all games have been played and questions submitted in writing from individual teams. Today or tomorrow would be the earliest response. But all day long yesterday on NFL Radio they were crucifying the officials over the blown roughing call. That's what I love about that channel. They have no direct affiliation with the NFL other than the subject they cover. The station is owned by Liberty Media Corp. which owns Sirius XM. All show hosts are employees of the company and do not kowtow to the league. Most guests are beat writers who hold no punches.

I know it's frustrating, but it's happening all across the league. Starting tackles have been going down on a regular basis all season long. There are currently 38 offensive tackles either on IR or otherwise on the injury lists leaguewide.

Referring to Peat? Hell No, that ship has sailed for me.

Landon Young ready? Sean doesn't think so as he's not seeing the field, but he did keep the late round pick on the active roster...

But RT is helluva lot easier to replace than LT; and there's a lot of incentive language that refers to Ramczyk at LT which is a big indicator of where this is headed...

Ignore it and it will go away. That's the NFL way.
