I guess I didn't really think of Lloyd in your example. I thought more along the lines of how well Heyer stepped in week one, Kendall all season long, Demetric Evans, Godfrey, and Chris Wilson at various points in the season, Todd Wade for Jansen.
If you think Wade has been effective in place of Jansen how do explain our running game crushed on the right side of the line.
(I already mentioned Kendall and Godfrey, they're proven vets cultivated by other organizations, would make an impact for any team in the league).

You've totally lost me. Who was I calling out? You think I was trying to call out The Zimmermans? I wasn't. Not at all.
I think we lost for two main reasons 1.) We didn't catch the ball, 2.) We shouldn't even have been throwing the ball in the first place. I believe we had a 2:1 pass to run ratio. In conditions such as yesterday Portis and Betts each should have had 15-20 carries.
I'm not calling anyone out.
Sometimes its needed. I look at this site and there are alot of really dumb comments and posts. Some people just calling for coaching changes and bla bla bla. Totally tune those out. This is going to come down to our core gelling together and making things happen. I'm all for passing on 3rd and 2 or reverses or giving campbell more rope. But when you outplay another team and just look so badly losing you have to really wonder what to do next.
The line is banged up so just pounding on the Cardinals will not work. We need to stick with the mix it up approach and execute for gods sake! I know the conditions were bad but looking back wouldn't you have rather seen a missed 50 yarder than Betts for no gain in the flats? I know its monday morning qb but give it a shot. Conditions my ass, kick the damn ball and if you miss oh well. 4th down in the NFL is playing Russian Rulet with 4 bullets in a six chamber gun........only a matter of time til you blow your brains out like 0-2 on 4th yesterday.
We will work Arizona and get back to form on Sunday.
HAIL!!!!!

I'm actually kind of curious as to what our stats to the right side were last year with Jansen in there. Because I have a feeling they're not significantly better.

Yeah, Jansen didn't look so hot to start this year out either - he got beat quite a few times on before and after season started. The left side of the line has been better than the right for a long time.
