Might not make it back in time to start next season depending on how bad it is. Hope it doesn’t kill his career, he has really gotten good.

I’m fine with Kelemete playing LG, but now this means we have to rely on Armstead being able to complete a game and that’s terrifying.

Peat's had a great season, moving from LG to Lt and back. The running game has been better w/ 75 @ LG. Kelemente has been great when called upon.

Broken fibulas don’t take long to heal. We just ****ed up the recovery of Breaux. It’s not the weight bearing bone in the leg. You rarely have surgery on it either. They just put you in a walking boot and watch it until it heals back together.

Yeah I just read where 4-6 weeks initially so long as there isn't other damage. Lots of xrays along the way. He'll be fine next year.

Are you saying it's just a flesh wound?

Terrell Owens broke his fibula week 15 and made it back for SB. Just sayin
He didn’t even cry

crap the IR list is littered with so much talent

I'm more concerned about how thin this now makes us on that left side of the line protecting Drew, opening up rushing lanes...

this is ridiculous we just keep dropping players to ir but u know what it developes players with incredible back -up playing time and stacks us with guys we don't care who starts, experience is what they need to excel. its how many hard hats do we have left.

That's why it'll be important in this draft to draft starter quality interior offensive linemen...

I think we have shown that we are probably the deepest team in the NFL.
Could be worse. By week 15 the Giants didn’t have a single starter on offense besides Eli. Their defense only had 2 or 3.

I hope we draft O-line in the first round again. You win in the trenches.

We will really miss Andrus in the screen game. He was flat out mauling defenders.

I don’t know if Armstead is going to be around much longer either.

Kelemete, God Bless Him, is a superb rotation guy, but he's not pretty in space at all...

Need to give serious thought to Billy Price with our first round pick. Unger turns 32 in April so Price could be great C/G depth for a year and eventually take over. The Ohio State farm system continues.

Price? You think he warrants that high a selection?

No, it’s a reach. We just don’t pick again until #90-96 so I really want it to be a good investment. I guess there are usually still plenty of good interior linemen to choose from in the middle rounds though so maybe we can be patient.

Know it's rare, but we could move back and pick up a pick...

Wouldn't be against moving some people who aren't always available...

Will we bring in someone off the street to back-up Kelemente?
