I think he was still active, because an injury had him taking his massive parka off and stretching, but he didn't see the field on anything except extra points and FG attempts, I believe. It is really too bad, because they are facing a stretch of less-than-mobile QBs and I would like to see him press the pocket and just bat down some balls in the middle.
It figures he disappears from the lineup. I thought he was finally contributing while getting snaps at DT. Kind of works together with Peko being "protected" with fewer snaps...I will never understand this coaching staff's decisions on players. I think Uzomah has been injured, but that guy showed flashes when Eifert was injured, and I was really liking the idea of seeing the two of them on the field together. Of course, it didn't happen....
Baffling for certain.
Will never understand these coaches myself.
They start worse players right when another unknown player plays good too. They play favoritism and...
they reward failure...

Ced may even rebound, but I would bet they don't suffer with him as long as they did this year. If he sucks after a full camp next year, he will either be moved to G, be the backup, or outright released.
I could see a veteran OT signed (that was released...can't give up those compensatory picks) a la Eric Winston, but a bit younger, to stabilize the RT position. Whit must be re-signed. I think we will see Westerman at RG or another draft pick.
What I would like to see is Whit at LT, Boling at LG, Draft pick or TJ Johnson at C, Fisher at RG, and a veteran at RT. I think with an off-season to prepare, they could roll with this and develop Ced and Westerman as the backups.
TJ Johnson looked worse than Bodine this preseason. Hopefully a draft pick at C, a reasonably high draft pick.
I think Westerman could be very good on the inside for us in the future. Just need a decent O-line coach to develop him.
Right now i am seeing Westerman at RG next year. Zeit will be gone most likely.
