Lack of Tackle Depth!

[Cowboyny]

We heard about Steele's struggles yesterday in the joint practices, this is nothing new. He is what he is, a good run blocker that is maxed out as a poor pass protector. Doesn't mean that cannot succeed with him as a starter, Doug Free had a similar skill set. Good news is that Guyton appears to be having a strong camp, his biggest concern can he stay healthy?

Also have heard that Bass is getting a lot of snaps with the 1's at LG. This could mean that Tyler Smith might be the team's #3 Tackle if they decide to use their 5 best lineman.

Thomas reportedly has taken a step back this season and Shelton needs to get stronger. Haven't heard much about 2nd year tackle Cornellius.

Biggest weakness of the team. Add to it a 33 year old QB that needs to run a high scoring offense or else. In my opinion this is the worst starting tandem in the league.

It’s not good, but it’s definitely not the worst,
Let’s hope defense can really help us out this season
It’ll be interesting

Just pick somebody up off of waivers, we fixed the defensive tackle position, which totally surprised me only been asking for it for 30 years
Instead of making a trade for the defensive line, let’s make a trade for the offensive line

I think fans are over thinking how bad the OT's actually are.

One of the top offenses for quite a few years now.
And that is with many injuries on the OL. They have not had the projected starting OL on the field for the last 5 yers or more.
Well, maybe 5% of the time.

I think they will be just fine.

Jerry passed on Lomu and Trost in the draft.

Guyton can’t block.

Guyton can’t block.

This is exactly what I mean.
He is supposedly having a good TC.
So stick to the narrative of they suck, but yet the offense keeps on producing.

I gotta see Guyton pass blocking vs DE1 before I give him praise.

He was beyond terrible since day 1.

Check out the OG backups.

He did yesterday against the Rams who had a good D line without Garrett last year.

Totally unfair. He came not ready. Not his fault he got thrown to the wolves day 1.

Cornelius had a really strong preseason last year. I think if he matches, he could be a good backup option at RT

Depth, there really isnt any at the moment. They were saying Thomas has been so bad he didnt look like an NFL player on G Bag yesterday. Shelton doesnt look ready. Watch roster cuts in a few weeks as maybe a likely add spot.

 

[Stash]

They have a backup plan at left tackle if Guyton struggles or is injured, but I don’t see one for right tackle. I’d like to see them bring in another option.

The offensive line depth is the biggest problem we have in my opinion. I thought Cornelius and Thomas were going to be solid 2nd team tackles after last preseason. I hate the plan of moving Tyler Smith to left tackle if Guyton or Steele are injured.

hopium not reality

We scored a lot last year in spite of tackle play but we were poor in the Red Zone which is where that weakness shows
you do not have a championship Offense if you cannot get it done in the Red Zone; TOUCHDOWNS NOT FIELD GOALS

as much as I and others might drool at getting Crosby, I would be fine for going after a good tackle.
