What do you do at RT for next 2 weeks?

Have they tried Connor Williams at T lately? The adjustments they made to target Steele in the second half destroyed the long passing game that was killing in the first half.

I was surprised Schultz wasn’t chipping more at the end.

I thought 0-3 was very possible before the year based off defense needing time to get up to speed, but now it seems like a certainty with a huge hole at RT.

for an udfa...i thought Steele played as well as he could have.
i ride with the kid til Collins is back.
if he struggles...switch to Brandon Knight.
what choice do we have...obviously Connor McGovern isn't ready...so if you move Williams to OT...who takes his OG spot?
roll with Steele.

For the life of me I don’t know why we don’t run more screens. It is THE counter call to slow down a rush and exploit teams that are aggressively getting up field on you.

And we have the skill players to absolutely wear teams out that way too. Just an unimaginative offensive gameplan last night.

17 points is just not good enough from Dak and Co.

There is only one thing we can do. We call up the man, the myth, the Legend to fill in. Thats right we bring back Doug Free

This coaching staff views brandon knight as a guard and that is why he is not playing right tackle. This is according to Brad Sham who said it during the broadcast last night.

ok....thank you.
at this point...i dont see another option but to stick with Steele.
for an udfa...i thought he fought his *** off.
won some/lost some.
i stick with him til LC is back.
maybe put a TE on that side for help.

I agree. RT was not the problem last night. LBs were terrible. DL except for Smith were terrible. Shultz was an abomination.

What are they going to do at LB?
we are woefully thin there...even before LVE went down.
id expect Bernard to get called up.

Kellen moore refuses to change his plans to account for a weak RT,got to say the whole coaching staff has been terrible week 1.

I think Jaylon Smith is trash, but I thought he was OK last night. Try somebody else at MLB though. Geesh.

There are lots of things they could do but the question is are they willing to do them?

Under Garrett the plan was just to stick to the plan. I'm anxious to see what McCarthy comes up with.

Steele was fine. He won't be going up against Aaron Donald every week.

The last time we played Atlanta, we made some ham & egger look like a 1st ballot HOF'er...
Just sayin'... lol/jk

But, yes, I agree. He gave some and got some. Learned a bit on the trial by fire.
He's going to need some help when they put their speed rusher on him.

This should be a big week for Blake Bell (TE), in terms of grading out in the run game.
I hope they use him in the red zone.

We beat them the last time.

As to the OP. You play Steele, have Knight be the swing guy, have McGovern be the backup G and Biadasz the backup C.
