Tough loss, he's had a nice year.

Hopefully Parnell steps up.

Parnell was bad on Sunday night. Like being on rollerskates bad.

Apparently Zach Martin was dealing with an ankle injury during the game as well. What's his status?

He seems to be fine and will play.

They said he managed to get through the game with really heavy tape job and was limping badly after game. Seems like they have been more worried about Free though.

MRI's confirmed neither Free or Martin had a high ankle sprain though, so thats good.

Take it for what it's worth, but Jerry said on his weekly radio interview that he thought Free would play on Sunday.

Dr Jones is all knowing

Free is ok and I still think he has flaws but we still need a RT and maybe another LG to complete this OL.

We definitely need to draft Free's replacement this upcoming draft. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

I wouldn't be surprised if we took a tackle in the first round especially since Jerry has seen how much attention we've gotten for investing in the offensive line. A player I keep seeing us taking is Pitt's T.J. Clemmings, who played for Garrett's pal Paul Chryst.

6'5" and 305 lbs. The reason he is wearing #90 in that pic is because he was a defensive lineman his first two years.

 

[Midswat]

Not for nothing but I'd be annoyed if we went oline in round one.

Defense. Specifically dline.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

I'd be sick if we spent another first on an OL. Enough is enough.

 

[Midswat]

Yeah I'm all for building the trenches. And I'd rather draft another OL with one of our top two picks as opposed to a CB or TE... But OL is our strong point and defense is a glaring weakness.
