After watching Osemele for the last two games ,it's time to put McKinnie at LT and
move Oher back to RT.

Osemele is getting killed by pass rushers and is gonna get Joe killed it it continues .
He really needs to play guard for now .

KO is struggling with penalties, but he's not getting destroyed by pass rushers as consistently as you might think. Plus he helps out with the running game. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that switch would lead to worse rushing offense.

You have to understand something.. If Oher is struggling against speed rushers, McKinnie would get SHREDDED by them. Not to mention he can't keep with the fast paced offense.

I might agree, but then again we would be setting our offensive line back from progressing (for the future).

They are doing enough to get the job done now. They are only going to improve from here.

Yep, he is correct. If anything we need to get Reid back and put him a RT. Osemele looks better at guard.

I wonder what's going on with him.. Has he been activated this season?

Osemele has been better than oher so far so this is a horrible idea. Oher gets beat off the snap. KO's problem is just not sustaining blocks long enough to develop big plays. he has impressed me so far. this is more of a playcalling issue where big plays aern't there yet we stick with it and end up with sacks. McKinnie is not the answer anyway. our no huddle would be a disaster with him in there.

I don't know if I agree with this . McKinnie is huge and difficult to get around and while he might be a liability in the run game ,
it might be worth a try .

Don't be surprised if after watching the the Chiefs game film,they don't give McKinnie a little playing
time.

He has been injured. He would've been our starter if it werent for the calf injury.

If I'm not mistaken Barnes killed him with speed, and so did Freeney. I know Big Mac is a beast against power rushers and inside moves, but he's just too slow for the speed rushers like Hali and Cole.

He has been injured. He would've been our starter if it werent for the calf injury.

I'm not sure about it. What makes you think so?

IDK, I think he is better than Osemele tho (no offense to Harewood) but I think he is more suited at guard. If anything switch Harewood and Osemele.

This. Oher gets beat by speed and has giving up as much as the op thinks osemele has.
His suggest is simply wrong.

And what happens when McKinnie struggles against not only speed rushers but as a run blocker? Oher and KO have taken their lumps the past two games, but bringing in an ageing vet that was beaten out in camp wouldn't be wise.
