It ended one of our HoF linebacker's career too early. :(

If Bartch keeps doing what he did the last couple games he's played, he needs to start at center. Moore should also get reps at RT or LG to see if he can replace Banks.

Foerster clearly needs to go at this point, though who knows how much Kyle has input on that. Who knows.

It's honestly mind boggling. I mean we all have access to the tape. If we see it, there's no way they don't see it.

So then what? If everyone can see the difference, WHY and HOW do inferior players remain ahead in the pecking order? It's inexplicable.

Absolutely he should be playing C moving forward. 5 games for him to show us if he's a viable option to be the starting C next year or at least good competition for a rookie C to compete with with the loser being an elite backup
Bartch and Moore need to be starting for the rest of the year
I'm not really sure how the left side of our line looked better without TW and Banks but it did.

I wonder if Bartch has experience at C. He should be an option for LG/C next year. Also, like others have said, why isn't Jaylen Moore ever given a shot to start over Colton at RT? The last 2 years whenever Jaylen Moore has come in he has been at least as good (but probably better) than Colton.

Bartch was the starting center in training camp while Brendel and Feliciano were out hurt. I don't see any reason they can't plug him in there now.

I think that is a move that has to be made. I don't understand the ongoing love affair with Jake Brendel. Brendel would be a fantastic backup C or G.
Well that was fast
Yeah sucks to see him injured, He was playing well. He's FA so I think they should re-sign him, he should be cheap and can compete for IOL starting job or top backup next year.

Oddly, it looks like Gutierrez was brought in to be the next backup advert Burford, according to the updated depth chart..

I hope we let Banks walk and let Bartch compete at center next season.
