I understand your frustration, but i think you’re overreacting a bit.
- looking over our roster, left guard is the only position where we do not have a clear starter and backup. That’s far better than where we have been in a long long time
- if theres any position to have questions about, Id say offensive guard is one of, if not the “best” one. Offensive guard is the most easily replaceable position in the NFL. We have 2 other offensive lineman who are arguably top 3 in their position and a 3rd (moses) who is near pro-bowl level. Even without the left guard situation resolved, i think most of the other teams in the league would swap o-lines with us in a heartbeat.
- the start of the season is 4 months away. Almost every year, we pick up a surprise cut late in the offseason who becomes a key contributor to this team. Really good guards are going to get cut by other teams in Salary-cap moves.
- even jf we don’t find an adequate guard among the guys on the roster, and even if we don’t sign a veteran later in the offseason, Shawn Lauvao is out there. He’s be more than serviceable as our “last resort” option.
In the end, Its simply too early to panic about the guard spot. If we’re in the same spot in mid July, then I’ll get concerned.
