Hell, he had back spasms after playing GUARD against the Cowboys.

The guy has talent but he's never been healthy.

This isnt a total abortion of a oline:

Albert
Waters
Smith
Rudy
Ocallahan

Smith can at least play average, whereas Niswanger is garbage at Center.

Alleman isn't a great guard, but he's a huge upgrade over Goff who is an abortion on almost every single play.

This o-line isn't going to be great. But I think it can be upgraded to serviceable if only Haley had the guts to put the right 5 on the field. I don't get it. Smith outplayed Niswanger on Sunday by miles. And Goff has been ****ing up all season long. I just don't get why it's taken him so long to make a move.

And Richardson may be a better left tackle than Albert, which may require Albert to move inside to LG.

**** Waters. He's not the future, anyway.

Personally I'd like to try this....esp if they think Albert's weight and lack of strength is what's causing his sophomore slump so to speak.

LT Richardson
LG Albert
OC Smith
RG Waters
RT whatever sacraficial goat you wanna put out there.
