Guys who basically have a spot.

Fisher
Allen

Linkenbach

I think Watkins and Johnson are the ones sweating a little right now.

The subject of this thread is about continuity problems we're facing on the offensive line.

Linkenbach sucks horse cock and signed only a 1-year deal. Why would we look to him as a starter when we can probably get better production from Rishaw Johnson, whose contract runs longer than one year?

Or ****, just go full rookie and start our 6th rounder? If we don't have anybody else, just go with the young guy, make him work through it, and hope he survives.

We did it with Eric Fisher. Apparently Andy Reid was okay with Alex Smith getting flattened 3 or 4 extra times per game just so he could save face on his #1 pick. Why not do the same again this year only at RG? It might even work out okay for the team.

I don't think you release linkenbach after signing him to that one year deal, or even signed him to it without thinking he'd be safe. Could have just waited for the UDFA's to hit the market if all you wanted was a camp body.

I hope our 6th rounders make it though, and I feel like we'd be able to keep 9 offensive linemen anyways, so I feel like that one's going to come down to Watkins vs. Johnson.

EDIT: But I'm totally behind starting the rookies and future guys now, if you think they can A. Do it and B. Are the guys of the future.
