I sense that everyone is frustrated with Armstead and his health issues. But realistically O-line really can only run 7-8 deep. There's no replacing Armstead at 27 is there?

The loss of Kelemete combined with the injury risk with Armstead makes us vulnerable.

I agree our starting 5 is solid, but 6-8 is weak.

I thought that Bushrod's signing was the primary replacement for Kelemete.

Now I agree that anything that keeps Harris off the squad would be welcome. I cringe every time he enters the game.

Signing Bushrod (who played LT on our SuperBowl run) was meant to address that - plus, Bushrod has some experience at guard now...

Issues I see with Bushrod as reserve - Bushrod will be 34yo when the season starts, he's got his big Mo in the bank, and Armstead has started, not finished 17 games in two seasons, so can a 34yo Olinemen with money in the bank and a ring really be that motivated for this 2018 team?
