Offensive line shakeup

Heyer is a competent BACKUP tackle. That's all he is. If we have to rely on him to start we're in trouble. Same with every other team in the league and their backup tackles. Especially at LT. He isn't going to physically dominant so we're going to have to endure penalties and whiffs from him. Like skinsguy said...TW can't get back soon enough.

I'm not sure about that. Was Doug Free a holding and false start machine when he filled in for Flozell? Not sure because I can't catch every Cowpuke game....

Or Jeremy Bridges for Arizona?

You summed it up well. Truth is if we cut Heyer tomorrow, like some think we should, he'd be on another NFL roster in a New York minute. Sure, he's just okay but most back-up tackles are.

I was thinking about how Heyer could help at center. Then, he wouldn't false start! And we could sit Rabach!


Aaaaah, but then we would still have all of his holding penalties to worry about.

Maybe we should cut him using the same logic I said at this time last year.

I agree. One of our biggest problems the last few years has been lack of depth on the o-line. Everytime a starter went down we were screwed. Heyer serves a purpose here and I think he contributes when needed.

Heyer doesn't get schooled at LT. I can't see how we can expect much more from him. He's not a matador over there.

If Heyer was a Cowboy we'd be having a field day with the way he played yesterday, yet because he is one of us we're turned into apologist.
