We should be preparing now. Give Westerman LG reps and kick Boling out to RT.

Winston playing any snaps is bad news for our season. We are lucky Dalton has a light speed delivery. Winston may be able to pass protect for 1 second. Asking anything more from him and we are risking our QBs.

It is a good question to ask but you don't weaken one area to try and strengthen another, and potentially not do as well in both areas.  The answer lies with the tight ends and backs.  They will be called on to help chip on Winston's side.  It is a short-term fix, but will work just fine for a couple weeks.  Andy gets the ball out fast and teams will have to respect the over-the-top speed of Green and maybe Core.  I bet we see a lot of 2 TE sets with one staying in to block and only two WRs...Boyd and Green.  That way, Lafell has another couple weeks to get in sync with Dalton.
