No Longer Feeling Good About Our Oline

VaporTrail

Gilkey was good in the first half, and had one bad drive in the third quarter with a false start and a whiffed block. Told you that he would be the next man up. Unfortunately, I have no idea who our backups are now.

Jarrod Shaw is a pretty solid young player. He was going to make the roster even before the injuries as backup center/guard. He can step in and play when needed.

Was at the game, & got the locker room injury report. Not good, but we were overdue for an injury or two

Lewis- busted fibula- that's 6 weeks, minimum.

Pinkston- seen leaving stadium on crutches in a walking boot- not good.

Mingo- was wondering why I didn't see him in other than on kickoff coverage- in hospital overnight- bruised lung.

Bogatay is likely bye-bye with a pulled groin.

If it's any consolation, Gilkey stepped up and played quite well- a road grader. Definitely a keeper.

Well at Least Suh didn't kill anyone.

Original OG Depth Chart looked like this:

LOG: Greco, Pinkston, Gilkey

ROG: Lauvao, Aaron Adams, Caylin Hauptman

Its pretty clear that it would be Gilkey to move into the ROG spot.

Also, OC depth chart looks like this:

OC: Mack/Jarrod Shaw/Braxston Cave Could Shaw or Cave backup at OG? That happens a lot.

Original RB Depth Chart:

Richardson/Hardesty/Lewis/Jackson/Maysonet

They have Ogbanaya as #1 FB....but he could move into the RB spot, and let the likes of Marecic/Smelley do FB duties. Or, more likely, Ogby could switch. And, FYI, since when did they pass a rule that a FB could not run the Ball. I mean, Jim Brown was considered a Fullback, as were Cookie Gilchrist, Jim Taylor, John Brockington, Jim Otis, Pete Johnson, Mike Alstott. All outstanding runners from that position.

I wouldn't put it past Norv/Chud to revitalize the FB as a running position a bit.

_{Pinkston out 2-4 weeks, not as bad as I had imagined. Mid Preseason is good for injuries to get over and gone. We were due for at least a couple injuries, I was surprised we had gotten through training camp relatively healthy.
O line can be fine if Gilkey and Shaw step up}

Looks like everybody who got hurt last night will be back for the opener except Dion Lewis... nice

They're looking at possibly placing Lewis on Long-term IR meaning a return after Week 8... unless his injury is season-ending... we need a replacement either way...

Gilkey has looked the best of the interior backups with Hauptmann behind him.

Both Shaw and Cave have looked pretty bad the first two weeks.
