Boy did we F$%K UP!!, We didn't draft Staleys replacement, nor get him in FA. Worse, we didn't sign either of the 2 OT's we looked at , only to have them 2 sign elsewhere. Now, we have a pissed Pittsburgh coming to town and JG blindside is gonna be the key!!! I think we just screwed our season up ! We used to have versatile guys like Deese and Willig back in the day. Journeyman types, but they could get the job done.

crazy how he has sprouted an acting career, and a pretty good one at dat. He'd always step in anywhere on line and flourish. Could never start, and didn't start in Atlanta forever, but found a role with us and played very well when called upon. Wish we had him now.

Good offensive tackles tend to be well paid and get starting roles on a team. Everyone's got backup OTs they hope never see the field.

Remember when the 49ers were so desparate for an OT they traded a 2nd round pick to the broncos for Jaimie Brown?
