2017 OFFENSIVE LINE
LT (2) 71 - Ryan Ramcyzk (R1, P32), 69 - Khalif Barnes LG (2) 75 - Andrus Peat, 77 - John Fullington/78 - Landon Turner C (2) 60 - Max Unger, 65 - Senio Kelemete RG (1) 67 - Larry Warford RT (1) 64 - Zach Strief INJURED/PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM 72 - Terron Armstead We've got a terrific offensive line to start the season even if Kelemete starts at C and Unger is an Active/Injured roster spot for the first few weeks... Barnes should hold the backup spot for Armstead until he returns; and if Ramczyk is doing well, which I think he'll do fantastic there, Armstead could be the backup T, taking the rest of the season to recover... Still would like to see another backup interior lineman or maybe a swing G/T to round the group out and Fullington is best of the remaining group?!? Not so sure that third reserve is on the roster right now... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Or in the best of worlds, IMHO, Armstead comes back mid season and reclaims the LT spot and we have him and Ramczyk at LT and RT next year. |

Do we trade him away only to watch him play the next 10 years without missing a start or do we keep him, one of the best LT's in the league, only to have him ride the pine half of next season too? Is he a C.J. Spiller or is he a Rob Ninkovich? |

I worry about quick speed DE against him. If he does handle it It makes rushing Armstead back on the field pointless. More time to heal If this is the case we are sitting great. If Streif stays healthy. Then comes the annual question. can Armstead stay healthy? If not what is the game plan to minimize his cap hit? Day 3 possible solution? keep an eye on Ike Boettger OT/OG/TE Iowa 6046 307 5.02 #75 rSr |
