Should he be replaced as the weak link? If so by who? Bars?

It's hard to know who will be good at line calls but I'd like to see what Eiselen can do at one of the inside spots.

If you replace every OL after one very bad game you will run out of OL very quickly.

You're stuck for now and just hope he rides it out. In his defense, he went up against two pretty good efforts from DTs weeks 1/2.
If you have to because he's a bumslayer only/cant hang until the end of the season when everybody's hurt of the backups are in, don't move Whitehair, or move Daniels before Whitehair.

I don't know why Daniels cannot try again.
Seriously, this whole time he was injured did he not study film and line calls??

Mustipher was not going up against good DT's in the Cincy game. They have minimal interior line talent. I can understand struggling vs Donald but Cincy? LMAO

Yea, he should be replaced. You have no one to replace him with, sadly.

You realize Daniels has the same total pressures as Mustipher and Whitehair combined. He has 7 while whitehair as 4 and Mustipher 3.

Yeah I haven't seen mustipher causing as many issues in the pass game as some of the other guys. I do see him getting pushed into the backfield fairly consistently on runs

But aesopian told me Ifedi looked like shit.
Would you look at that? All the cunting and our tackles are the strength of this line thus far in the pass game.

So add Whitehair to the cut list if he doesn't improve?
@remydat what are the cap ramifications to cut him?

Not good. He's here and he turns 30 next year.

Evidently people need to have something to complain about.
We’ve been able to run the ball decently. We’ve even been able to pick up short yardage plays running (minus a bad spot if Fields sneak attempt). Dalton hasn’t been running for his life.
This line is tons better than 99% of fans thought it was going to be. But yet the complaining continues…

2 by Mustipher but I agree it's early.

The oline is not good. You can't shuffle players in and out all year. The coaches need to find ways to get more out of what they have.

I'm guessing 5 o-line positions times 32 teams equals 160...so a rank of 80 is middle?
Yikes on the interior line. They were supposed to be average.

Tackles have been OK. Daniels will be good. The biggest issue is that we have our 2 least stout players next to each other between them. I don't think anyone was complaining about Whitehair before the season. I've been about trying Eiselen at C since the summer but I have no idea if he can make line calls or if snap consistently. Mustipher was supposed to be stronger/stouter this year but it's not showing so far including the pre.

Yeah what a weird start to the season when the tackles are outplaying the middle.
