BTW, we are desperate.
Fluker next to Bodine.

Fluker would be such a desperation move.
For those wondering, Reiff's arm length was 33.25". That's a whole inch longer than Forrest Lamp's arm length. So for anyone thinking Lamp will play OT in the NFL....no chance.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

His arm length is also about an inch longer than Joe Thomas.

Mangold even over Bodine.

Did not realize Thomas's arm length was 32.5". But Lamp's still shorter by 1/4 inch. Maybe Lamp can succeed at OT after all, but Thomas is very much the exception, not the norm.

So basically arm length can be overcome as Thomas is one of the best LT's in football...

It also led to one of the funniest photoshops I've seen in a while.
That's outstanding!!!

True, and this post was about replacing our LT since there doesn't appear to be a great option in the draft...We have lots of options at RG: Johnson, Westerman, and a 2nd round pick like Feeney.
We are going to be dead before we start if Ogbuehi is our starting LT. I bet season ticket packages are flying off the shelf now. Interesting that the renewal had to be in a week before all this shit hit the fan.
If Dre isn't re-signed, damn...I don't even want to think about it.
