snake bitten with injuries. won't be able to overcome it especially if the Eagles don't get some massive injuries of their own which they have been lucky to avoid all season relative to the 9ers and Cowboys.

Tyron and Peters at the tackle positions is nice on paper

Hopefully it doesn't hamper him going into next season. Always "scared" when it comes to the big guys and leg injuries.

looks a hell of a lot better than anything combination involving Ball but potentially losing Steele is terrible

Move Ball to LT, Tyron to RT.

Until Smith is hurt again.

Hopefully its not serious.

The idea of Ball playing is awful.
The idea of relying on a really old dude to play out of position and Tyron actually playing and not getting injured isn't great either.

Hopefully only a sprain. Maybe Steele and Hankins can be back for the playoffs.
Not holding out any hope though, as this team still seems to be snake bitten at the wrong times.

Big loss.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Its just our luck.

I’m actually worried more about next season. We’d need another Peters type of signing until Steele recovers

 

[StarOfGlory]

Steele was really progressing. Feel so bad for him. Hope it’s not too serious.

this is true, was hoping they would have Tyler, Tyron and Peters rotating at LT until the tournament then stick the best 5 out there.

Learn to deal with the injuries.
MM's Packers that won the SB in 2010 had 9 starters on IR.
Comparatively we're healthy at the moment.

I believe the team has already planned for Peters to start at RT. I would move Tyron or Tyler over there, but they want Peters to take the role.

Peters at RT, Tyron at LT, Tyler at LG. That is the best combo.

Plan B options needs to be in place very immediately...

- Tyron Smith is only a matter of time ... So once/when he gets re-injured again, Tyler will move back to LT, with McGovern (also will be UFA)
inserted back at LG.

- Peters will have to be starting RT, once Steele's knee injury confirmed.
But should 40 yr old Peters go down to injury himself, ...who do we turn to ?
Josh Ball ? ...(Yikes !!)

- This is where we have no choice but go Martin to RT., i'd actually start spotting him at RT in weekly practices.

- Now if we lose Both Tyron, and Peters , with Tyler and Martin at OTs... who do we have to play the OGs roles besides McGovern ?

Probably is the best 5, but McGovern has been solid this season. Better have Tyron or Tyler taking some reps in practice on the right side in case of injury.
