You may be onto something here with Stanley at least. I wouldn’t call Yanda soft nor even Brown. Stanley left the game but not due to injury and now that I think about it, that’s kind of a weird thing to do. Who leaves a game themselves and not due to injury? I don’t get that part one bit and it kind of bothers me if it’s not due to injury or something. You don’t leave the game because you don’t want to play. Not saying that’s the case or putting words in his mouth because I have no idea but it just makes me wonder why you leave a game but you’re not hurtHeres the thing. This O line is

Was it shortly after the penalty at the end of the game. Maybe he was pulled and put in for the whipping boy HurstYou may be onto something here with Stanley at least.

He probably got shaken up and the coaching staff didn't want to put him back in since the game had already been decided. You can say what you want about Stanley but this line looks 10x worse without him. It sure looked ugly last year and the year before that when he wasn't there.You may be onto something here with Stanley at least. I wouldn’t call Yanda soft nor even Brown.

I’m not sure but that’s a good question.Was it shortly after the penalty at the end of the game. Maybe he was pulled and put in for the whipping boy Hurst
Maybe I don’t know. And I would agree with that—the OL does look worse without himHe probably got shaken up and the coaching staff didn't want to put him back in since the game had already been decided.

I think Lewis would be better at RT than Hurst.Lewis is mediocre at best, Skura is a liability. The primary focus this offseason damn well better be fixing this oline. I want us to acquire multiplie Gs and a fucking C.
A good offensive lineman isn't going to turn a bad team good. But they can play an important role in helping a good team. Ragnow or Price rather than Skura in the middle of our line would be making a big difference for us right now. At least we'd be able to run the ball.Yeah because drafting Price, Cam Erving and Ragnow has clearly made a difference for their respective teams. And it's really not like our best OL wasn't drafted in the third round...
Lewis is not as good as this coaching staff believes him to be. He surely proved me wrong as well and we need to replace him in the draft or FA. Skura is a liability too and there’s no way he’s the starter next year. Brown will most likely be relied upon next year FWIW and that could be a gamble.Lewis is mediocre at best, Skura is a liability.

They've had a tough start though. My point was that you can't judge an OL by the investment you've made in it. Look at the Browns and Lions, they've drafted and paid a lot of guys yet still suck.A good offensive lineman isn't going to turn a bad team good.

Agreed. OL is a lot about jelling together. Joe D will help that group settle.FWIW, we've had these phases with the OL in years past. I just hope this unit can get it together.
Howard was horrible. Even the freaking Colts cut himshould have kept austin howard around
I understand Howard was disappointing, but he played well as the season went on last year. Howard was better than Hurst at RT. Howard’s problem is he comes in out of shape. Honestly, I think we resigned Hurst because he is younger and has more versatility, but honestly, I’d rather have Howard playing RT now than Hurst, until Zeus Jr. can be brought up to speed. I hated the Hurst signing! I just wish we would insert Zeus Jr. right now and go through the growing pains with him. He can’t be any worst than Hurst and Zeus Jr. should improve as the season goes on. James Hurst is Kip Vickers 2.0!Howard was horrible. Even the freaking Colts cut him
