What we don;t do replace our teen with a new teen before they really have driven the car over a prolonged time..
Or we could look at it for what it is. A physical game where guys get hurt. Our starting LT has never played 16 games and our backup at both tackle spots rarely stays healthy for all 16.
Here we are wasting a week and a roster spot when we could be evaluating and preparing an emergency replacement. Hopefully it wont be needed. But this is the nfl.
