It wasn't necessarily a good thing that they did because most of them were due to injuries to the starter, but that's the exact scenario I'm talking about.


That's all I'd be looking for. Someone who can sub in and not embarrass themselves.


And, let's be honest, there's no way any rookie would be worse than putting Ogbuehi back in. That guy is the definition of embarrassment at offensive tackle. At least to this point in his career.

First I will say that Ogbuehi had chances, and failed to deliver. Period. Case closed - he's got to miraculously do a 180 or GO. 

However, with what changes were implemented during the last quarter of 2017, we saw success with the rest of the roster. Beating the last two wannabe playoff-bound teams with different scheme but no roster changes showed 'some' promise. Not much, but some. Looking at what we've done since then tells me we will improve in a lot of areas. Just not all, and right tackle seem to be the most glaring one. But the process is not over yet imho. 

My gut tells me we will see some struggles early in the season, not just the Oline, but in general. It will take some time beyond training camp for this team to gel. Barring injury though, look for this team to bring some smiles around here once familiarity breeds chemistry and confidence.
