Kirk Cousins?

Those 2 QB's don't have good enough defenses. (see Tale of the Tape for this week)
Yup. Too costly. Especially for us.
As for the OLine...What is the major problem there? Everyone loves Bitonio, Teller & Conklin. So is it Pocic and whomever is at LT? I mean we can't run left, right or up the middle. And I'm sure we're still leading the league in sacks. Do we want to throw in the loss of Callahan?
The Oline? Health and age at our guard spots combined with injury and talent death at the tackle spots.
Pocic is a solid player. But when you have instability on both sides of you, it's harder to show your value.

The OL, minus LT, has been together for several games now...but we still can't run the ball or protect the QB.

Again, age and injury. They just don't have it like they use to. Isn't hard to tell when you see how they fire off the ball, especially in the lateral run game.

Thoughts on the few games Zinter started?

A big hell no on Cousins.. Spend all available assets in the draft and the FA market to make the offensive and defensive lines the best in the league.. That's where the the games are won and lost.

Well, when Pro Bowl RG Wyatt Teller was his age he didn't play at all so keep this in mind with NFL Linemen. How quickly they develop tends to vary especially inside when an OG can face a stout 340 pound DT with ideal leverage.
To answer your question, he looked promising. Most of his mistakes seemed to be more cognitive than physical. That said, he was the guy that left the Ohio State - Michigan game with a brutal lower leg injury. It was amazing he was cleared for contact at the onset of training camp. I think he's going to be very solid and ready to start the day Bitonio retires. That may be sooner than some people think.
Don't forget we're getting Luke Wypler back healthy next year. That's right, the Wypler Snapper who can also can also play Guard. I thought it was an absolute steal getting him in round 6.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

I thought he belonged on the bench. But that's just me.

Ohio State will have Left Tackle in Josh Simmons, a mid/late first round prospect too.

Good point. And he'd be a guy they could trade back for.

Or up for...
Maybe a slight trade back with the (now) 7th overall pick, then a trade up from a high second rounder back into the first for Simmons?
It boggles the mind FLugs!

Let the board come to you. Simmons was pretty good, then had a season ending knee injury. I'm not too apt trading up form players with significant injury history that take such contact every play. Even if they are Buckeyes staying home.

I'm doing a recap on the rookies after the season is over, I'll be charting all their snap. So I'll get back to you on that.

I hear ya - just keep it nourished with cold beer.
We should get a good look at Simmons tonight; and it sounds like he will be tested.

Simmons had a season ending injury sometime before the Penn State game

Ready for this? He was lost for the year in the Oregon Game. That's me and you being really on top of it all. Yeah, we got it covered.

When he was lost, Donovan Jackson began sliding over to LT out of pure necessity. That's the lineman from tOSU people aren't talking about enough. While he wasn't great in pass pro, he was still serviceable in the time of need and mauls in the running game. Reminds me of Yanda a bit.

Pertinent to tonight, if TN's strength is their pass rush - RUN the ball down their esophagus! More specifically with your term I bolded above MAUL them.
