Nesbit

To ge the start per yasinskas:

They have already tried shaking up the lineup, but that hasn't worked. Left guard Jamar Nesbit was benched before the Dallas game. Melvin Tuten started in his place and was penalized four times. Jeno James started this week. Nesbit, who has been bothered by an ankle injury, will be back in the lineup Sunday, and the pressure is on.

 

I think that's crucial. Settle on a lineup and stick with it. I know Nesbit had a bad outing. But since they benched him, the line play has gotten progressively worse.

 

When did the failed Tuten-James experiment start? Aren't we 3-1 with Nesbit, 0-3 without him? Or even 3-0 with and 0-4 without?

And wazzup with this "ankle injury"? I seem to remember Fox making some vague comments about "evaluating all talent" when he first took Jamar out.

 

he'd been playing with the injury. A few mistakes that aren't there otherwise, sure, but we can't keep pushing lesser talented guys into the lineup just to punish the good ones for a couple of plays, and in the process, the team.

Hes out best guard. Noticeably, he's also in a contract year. I have a feeling that part of it was a ploy to show him we could live without him - we can, just not with any of our current depth - and to see Tuten ($1,000,000 next year) and James (RFA) play more.

None of the three really worked and hopefully we'll stop playing like ass with an experienced lineman in there.
