The concern is now there are two bad pass blockers in the interior, Bradford and Olu. And don't forget what the Rams did to Darnold in that playoff game. Could be a rough day for Sam.
I'm much more concerned with who replaces Zabel if he is out than I am with what we currently have in Olu and Bradford.
Bigger issue is Olu is getting owned bad.
I don't know. Olu has been a starter. Haynes can't beat out Bradford, but is now going to replace Zabel?

Yeah Haynes might be the only OG in the NFL capable of achieving a lower PFF grade than Bradford. :lol:

Two of them are backups playing because the starter got hurt, and the other is the fifth Offensive Lineman. Salary Caps do crazy shit. Would you sacrifice one of our defensive starters so we could pay another O Lineman? What change do you make? They tried to add a Guard in the off season and they guy refused to take a physical and signed somewhere else.

According to PFF, the Bears have the best offensive line in football. What happens if they lose their starting Guard and Center on back to back weeks? You think they just plug and play with the backup and don't skip a beat?

The Titan's best defensive player, DT Jeffery Simmons, is going to be going up against Bradford and Olu this Sunday. Should be interesting to say the least.

They have T'Vondre Sweat too. Husky fans should be familiar with him. Watching him and Murphy when we played Texas was something else.

I understand that. But, Olu was suppose to be the starter then got beat out by an undrafted player. That is more my issue on Johns player eval. Then Haynes bad player draft eval, 3rd round as I remember. John's player eval. Then Bradford's still the starter, drafted in the 4th. So, not talking about being backups--just bad draft evals. They shouldn't be there. Two and arguably 3 were drafted to be starters not backups. Just bad eval.

I've been pretty hard on John, especially about his O Lines. I'm just not seeing it this year. NO one has five guys they are in love with. I really like Cross, Lucas and Zabel, don't hate Sundel or Olu to be honest. I don't think Haynes or Bradford are that good, but not sure there is much of an upgrade that was available at the deadline. Pretty big improvement off last year, IMO.
