Offensive line is abysmal.

I know, I was just saying that our current line was what was planned and hoped for by the staff.  It’s not because guys retired or someone got hurt.  
The fact that both situations where “planned” is embarrassing.  
 

Agreed. This OL looks like what most of us fully expected it to look like.

Man wish we had two promising rookies waiting in the wi.............................................oh wait.

I just don’t get this notion. It was a third round pick and a sixth round pick. If they honestly looked better in practice you think they wouldn’t be playing?

We not only signed, but signed early in free agency the left side of our current offensive line.  Sounds like a plan.

 

We've been noticeably worse without Elflein.

How the fug is slater helping Paradis??

Option to move elf (shutters) or Erving to center. Both have played C before. Honestly both shifting in a spot likely makes them play up as they really don't play very well in the positions they are being asked to play in.

Coaches do it all the time (Look at Rivera)

How many o-linemen do we take in next years draft…

[CarolinaRideorDie]

I don't understand how some of you guys are calling for the two rookies Christensen and Brown to start. Maybe the coaches don't put them in because they would actually play worse than what are current starters are doing? It says a lot when you're not even activated to the active roster on game day. These coaches see and evaluate the players on a daily basis, I'm sure if they thought a rookie was better they would play them.

Definitely a wild card team.

Lol ok!

Nearly 7 seasons removed from the last time this team had an O-line worth anything and it still shows up as a new thread topic each week during the season.

Here's a thought, just go back to 2015 and merge all these threads.

If our rookie linemen aren't ready maybe we should have pursued better fa options than two overpaid speed bumps

The GM and Coach drafted them, right ?

you mean, they didn’t think they were good enough to play knowing it’s a 17 game season and injuries happen

…and then seeing them in training camp,  continue to keep them on the roster 

there are  53 spots on a Nfl roster.  If a player makes the cut. That player should be able to play the position
