So I think the Fanaika experiment can end now, yes?

That was awful. And really, it wasn't a fair request to make of him to be honest - we shouldn't have expected a guy that mauls his way to limited success at G to be even remotely credible at T. That said, he got abused badly enough to almost single-handedly limit what we were able to do offensively.

Then again, he definitely had a partner in crime with LDT. Bottom line is that we saw the difference in talent going against the 2s. LDT looked pretty damn outstanding against AZs second string; he was exposed pretty badly going against Seattle's 1s. Fulton should be the starting RG and I'd be shocked if that doesn't end up the case.

I don't get the Morse angst. Sure, he's a little inexperienced with the line calls but only time will straighten that out. In the meantime, he did a pretty damn decent job against a very good interior line. I really don't understand why everyone's ready to move on to Kush all of the sudden - I saw no notable increase in performance when Kush came in and he wasn't playing against nearly as tough a front as Morse was. There was one notable breakdown I can recall and that was when we were asking Morse to get out and pull to pick up KJ Wright; he missed and we lost 6. Now that's just poor scheming, IMO. If you're asking a C to go block KJ Wright, he's going to fail to get there more often than he succeeds. And when that result yields a 6 yard loss, it may just be time to take that out of the playbook. (Wright was a monster on Friday, for the record).

Grubbs was just quietly good - I'll take that. Stephenson was again very good out there. Maybe he's got his head screwed on straight because if he can play even 90% that well over at RT, he's a big time addition.

I expect Fisher - Grubbs - Morse - Fulton - Stephenson will be our week 1 setup and I think we'll have a damn nice OL for the effort.
