Yes. And CEH.

At this point I'd like to see Driskell over anyone besides Humphries.

Hell, I'd sign Donovan Smith as an insurance policy at this point to.

Straight out of the buffet line.

He's paid enough to buy his own. ;)

I said this earlier as well. Even with Humphries, you’re one play away from one of those clowns having to come in again, and neither of them should be seeing an NFL field at this point, especially blocking for the best QB on Earth.

I hear you, but Driskell could easily be Terrible LT Part III.

I’d imagine we don’t see either of our two current LTs again out there this year.

Humphreys will be inserted asap and if something happens Thuney kicks out

I know DJ may be a bit rusty but he’ll he should be a massive upgrade to what we saw today at worst.

I think so also. As long as he can show that he belongs in the NFL, he'll be better than what we have been trotting out there.

Driskell reminds me of a lineman we had who we let go and he went on to have a pretty decent career. I think his name was Sviteck or something like that. They're keeping Driskell on the 53 for some reason.

Yep. We are at that point.

Huh, no. He is slower and more plodding than either Morris or Sua. We don't seem to coach well enough against the speed rush and yet we leave these inexperienced tackles on an island at crucial times.

He would, makes no sense to throw him out there. It would make more sense to go with 6 linemen until Humphries is ready than throwing an even slower OT out there.

I really hope he can be how he was a few years back and we can keep him for a few more years. Our prospects of improving in any other way seem like a complete dream. We can’t draft anyone. They don’t come as free agents unless insanely overpaid. And we can’t trade for one. The only other option seems to be trading up in the draft but even that’s nothing certain.

We are extremely fortunate that a pro bowl caliber player became available due to injury and his old team already having a replacement with no need to hold onto the guy. It seems like a pretty unique set of circumstances, that if it works out, is basically manna from heaven.

Like Willie Roaf…

The sooner we can get this guy in at LT, the better. I'm 53 and can't remember a "starter" tackle worse than what we have at LT right now. I'm not even sure that Morris is practice squad material at this point.
