  • What to do at Right Tackle?

    Barbre is far from a polished player at right tackle, we all knew that he struggles against pass rushers, he doesn't have the fundamentals at this point. He played one season at offensive line at some bumble fuck college. It is going to take some time. I say get the Italian guy ready from Louisville, but chaulk this performance up to nerves, but don't give Barbre a free pass.

    I think it's clear that we need a vet. I'd be ok with a journeyman. Anything to be a stop gap for Barbre.

    How raw is Meredith? Maybe he'll get his chance.

      I thought they cut Meredith.

          Did Sitton play much better? The whole right side looked suspect in pass protection.

            Well there is your answer. Barber is miles ahead of him. If he made it through waivers he belongs on the practice squad.

              I thought he looked ok. I didn't really hear his name. No news is good news.

                Probably nothing yet. He has a really rough game but he did play a little bit better in the second half. You usually give a guy more than one week before you make a change.

                He will have to play better though.
                GO PACK!!!!

                  Sitton didn't look great, I think they had issues with line calls, and the pre-snap reads. When you are thinking out there your body simply doesn't react the way it should.

                  Barbre is raw, he probably needs some help out there, but next to Colledge he is probably our most talented run blocker.

                    Yup - let him play a few more games...if he can't hold up against the bengals and rams, we panic.

                      This was an ugly game. Babre was far and away the worst player on the field today...God, I hope its only nerves, but he looked horrendous.

                      That Chillar guy, just a glorified SS.

                            To early to overreact about RT, wait until we look at the tape.... then storm Allen Barbre's house with torches and pitchforks.

                              Didn't he draw a holding penalty?
