Are you saying that Richards is not hurt? I don't know if he is or isn't but moving him to IR seems to say he is and would not have anything to do with Guyton.
Richards has a high ankle sprain and can't play.

My thought is the message to Guyton is no more begging out of games for being a little nicked up or you dont exactly feel like playing, since your back up is unavailable.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration of what happened.

Guyton is the left tackle.
And Edoga is the backup, like Richards was. Difference is that Edoga shouldn't receive any snaps unless Guyton just bombs.

Of course, if Guyton bombs, I'd rather see Smith kicked back out to LT because Edoga is not a good LT ... and he's had years to show that. Now, if something were to happen to Steele at RT, I don't think the dropoff to Edoga there is that steep.

Probably. Richards has a high ankle sprain. Makes sense to IR him. Has nothing to do with Guyton.

The odd part is Carson to IR. Why didn't that happen weeks ago when he got hurt?
Think that with Bland back and Butler having a good game, they may have felt they could do it instead of holding out hope he'd get back soon.

He looked better than Guyton to me. Maybe he will be and Guyton can replace raggedy Steele.
I'm hoping that whoever we bring in at coach will at least consider that. I think Richards has shown he should get a shot at starting somewhere on the line. And if we're going to go with a youth movement, we might as well go all the way. If I'm reading the numbers correctly, cutting or trading Steele produces around a $5 million cap savings that could go toward a new contract for Tyler Smith.
