Alijah Vera-Tucker: Gordtackle

[reuben]

I would think it goes
- Mitchell gets first crack
- Brown takes over at one spot when he's back if Mitchell struggles
- Warren is insurance if both fail (or if Becton fails)
- Turner is the emergency plan

I don't need to see anymore of Duane Brown.  He's toast. 

Dark horse candidate?  Joe Tippmann, with Schweitzer taking his spot at guard.  I'm not keen on the idea but he's got the size to make the transition.

you've got to be shitting me. this franchise is cursed. another unfortunate, unfair, deflating moment to one of our best players for this franchise.

i can't imagine what's going on through his head right now. freak this. freak that freaking city. freak this excrement.

Brown was serviceable when he was healthy last season. We'd take serviceable now. Hopefully Mitchell provides that and it's a moot point.

The staff wanted him to play LT entering Week 1. Hard for me to think he's completely out of the picture now or that they would play Warren coming off multiple injuries over him right away.

that was the wrong decision by the staff, and it led to our QB tearing his achilles the first drive of the season. and he looked done when he was in there for us.

have to think the only way brown gets any more snaps for this team this year is if becton gets hurt at LT (which may happen yet given our history and his history, freak this excrement).

think good thoughts, mitchell will work at RT, if not warren has some time to start mentally and physically preparing himself for the RT spot.

freak this excrement. we need to draft OT so badly. 

[d sw0rdz]

freaking bewildered, shocked, angry at the same time. this excrement is a freaking joke. don't even know who to direct this to, but freak you. 

[Heismanberg]

Douglas needs to do everything in his power to move Lawson and Hardman for additional draft capital.

We need to make a move for an offensive lineman.  A few teams are going to be completely buried after next week.  We need to add someone and bring them in during our Bye week.

I have a new reason to hate Denver now

Bring in Lael Collins for a workout

[CatoTheElder]

Why are our offensive linemen made of glass?

-Becton: back to back knee injuries
-AVT: back to back season ending injuries
-Mitchell: blood clot issue
-Brown: goes to IR immediately after being signed, and again 2 weeks into the next season
-Cameron Clark: career ending neck injuries
-Carter Warren IR in rookie training camp


I’m very afraid for Mitchell right now

Just the good ones

In b4 this is Joe Douglas's fault

[d sw0rdz]

starting to feel like this team will have to roll out a 4-deep starter rotation at OT (and by starter, i mean legitimate starter, not make-believe like we had with brown coming into the season) just to be able to survive this inexplicable excrement every year

hopefully mitchell shows us he can be one of those guys. New drafted OT is another.

The injuries themselves are not his fault, but if the guys he picks can't stay on the field to protect the QB it's not going to help him.

Didn't we essentially do that this season?
- Brown (has been starter his whole career)
- Becton (good starter when healthy)
- Mitchell (started for us last year)
- Turner (has been full-time starter for 5 years before this year)
- AVT as a swing
- Carter Warren (draft)

Now we have to test that depth. I don't think a trade is going to happen, nor am I convinced we should be trading draft assets to salvage a 2-3 team because one offensive lineman gets hurt. Of course if Douglas can find a good trade out there, that's great, but teams don't trade good offensive linemen. Maybe we can get a rental from a bad team, but is it worth trading a 4th-round pick for a rental in the middle of the season?
