Our "O" Line

If Folau is a better LT than Jonathan Stinchcomb then I\'m sad to say Stichcomb is way more of a bust than Sullivan. I was feeling embarrassed for Spencer. It reminded me of the Turley LT experiment. Hopefully Stinchcomb was just inactive and Folau was forced to play out of position, therby looking completely lost.

It was the worst O-line play I\'ve witnessed in years. Gator got me thinking. With such a pathetic O-line, Stecker may be a better fit for us right now due to his jitter-bug abilities, which are apparently necessary with this O-line to avoid being tackled 5 yards behind the line. In fact, I\'m tempted to say Michael Lewis may have more success with that imitation of an O-line.

I\'m afraid that O-lineman has now moved up the needs list substantially.

You are 100% dead on. What I find strange is that Spencer Folau did a credible job at Right Tackle one year when Riley was suspended then couldn\'t get it away from Spencer. I\'m also with WhoDat about Wayne Gandy. He is past his prime and is also ailing in the legs (at 36 who wouldn\'t be at that position). What I fail to understand is why didn\'t they move Riley to LT and play Spencer at RT. What else has happened is that we pissed away Naole, Turley, and Roaf (3 first rounders) for what we have now. Says what great player talent evaluation staff we have, doesn\'t it.
