I know that is circular reasoning that makes no sense, but I just have PTSD on our line play. The effect is stronger with IOL/DT.
More specifically, I think Karras and the starting OTs are legit. I think Patrick is a fringe starter quality G who is oft injured. And Ford is not starter quality, at G or OT, though he is a fine utility lineman. I hope Fairchild hits, but is a rookie.
Beyond those 6, we have zero proven guys. I'd feel much better with a vet OT. I'd have brought Trent Brown back, or a similar type guy. $1.7 mil cap hit with Houston. I'd have cut Volson.
Rivers needs to be able to play.
Oh just stop man..even with a patched up offensive line missing two starting tackles last year burrow and the offense kicked butt..
