whodey365 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Didn't see it posted but according to marv in the post game, Fisher has a sprained ankle and should be back game 1. We're talking Marvin speak here so in reality his career is probably over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 So who, besides the indomitable Eric Winston, gets to try out at RT until this nightmare preseason concludes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodey365 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Westermen? Or is he a guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griever Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hopefully dodged a bullet, when I heard Achilles I feared the worst. Only bad thing is, didn't Eifert only have a "sprained ankle" back in February... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Lewis Any time someone has an early injury seems like we hear about how he never completely recovered the rest of the season. Specifically, lets see how it goes with Ogbuehi's toe (...Archie Griffin... Jack Lambert...) and I don't even want to THINK about The Third's injury. But this year's first round draft pick, last year's first and second round draft picks and recent first round pick Eifert all injured... totally makes a partial vacuum with its mouth.

Not sure Westerman is nimble enough to move outside even in a part-time role. Trey Hopkins might be though. Saw that he had been getting reps at all 5 spots on the OL. Aside from one of the guards like Hopkins moving outside, all we have left at OT behind Winston are a couple undrafted rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Yeah, some guys named Aaron Epps and John Weidenaar. Looks like they will have jobs the balance of the exhibition games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random backend guys and Trey Hopkins is technically capable of it. If we need a RT come regular season Boling is more than capable of playing RT well which would be better than a deep backup as a guy like Westerman could play LG and hold his own as well.

Good call, I forgot that Boling has played some OT. You're probably right that if neither Ogbuehi or Fisher are back for Week 1 and something happens to Whit or Winston, Boling would probably move to OT.

X2 would agree. Depth on the line is still needed. Would you add a Tackle or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
