Evans has actually been our worst O-lineman, but thats 100% due to playing injured in my opinion.

A healthy Evans would solidify that interior.

Strief may grade out well, but he looks so slooow when decent speed rushers shift to his side and blow by him; now, is he getting points for those 'look out' blocks I've seen?

Brown has been called for holding in every game, well maybe not the Bucs game, but I think the ref called that on Evans in error because Brown ws definitely holding though Evans clearly wasn't and analysts questioned as much...; certain plays linger in my mind, like Drew's awful interception against the Bucs made more awful by Brown's attempt to stop the return...

Grubbs? Dude got thrown like a toy in the MNF Miami game; and for what he's contracted, he should be doing the throwing...

DLP worked his tail off to get here and is either injured (not reported) or is in a "I'm just happy to be here" mode which is good for traveling church choir attitudes but Not For Long in the NFL...

Do Agree with regards to the Evans injury and his very competent backup's Leilito's injury having a significant effect; but we put two offensive linemen on IR to start the season so who's gonna cry them a river?!?

Is it too late to trade Mark Ingram to the Rams (where he'd be a better fit) for Barrett Jones?!?
