Thoughts? Harewood has had his struggles, but I think KO has been the biggest problem.

Williams was probably the incumbent before his ankle injury flared up again, I also wouldn't be surprised if Harewood is hurt.

Hope the old man doesn't have too much rust he needs to kick off.

Where's the injury report?

Source? I haven't heard this.

I don't think there's a real need for change. I don't see a need for Harewood to come out. I'm not a fan of Bobbie Williams. He just doesn't fit the scheme. You need quick and explosive linemen in a zone scheme; Bobbie may be powerful, but I wouldn't call him quick or explosive. I want to stay the course and let Ramon grow. Ramon's only problem has been pass protection.

As for K.O., I like him so far. In general he's played really well. He does great at run blocking. He and Yanda are a force together. His pass blocking has been suspect, but he'll get with it. It's just a matter of footwork for him. He rarely gets bull rushed. Only speed rushers can beat him. I want to stick with K.O.

Bisciotti and Ozzie said in the off-season that they want to get the younger players more playtime this year so they could develop and become better players. It requires patience, but if we stick with the young dudes it will pay off in the long run.

Aaron Wilson just tweeted it a few minutes ago. I'd like to see KO at LG tbh...maybe Reid at RT?

I'd prefer that over Williams at LG and KO at RT.

Once KO can develop his footwork he could be a force at tackle, however I would move him to guard; he run blocks really well.

I would like to see Jah at Left and Oher at right, in the future.

I don't think Reid would work at LT. I've only seen him have footwork issues in the past, and fast strong NFL-caliber ends would eat him up.

....Why???

Harewood has been one of the positive surprise this year so far. Bobbie flat out stunk on preseason when he took over that spot early.

Harewood has been awful in pass-pro. Williams is supposed to be strong in that area. I guess we have to see what happens.

He's got ideal arm length, height and does well applying leverage. Then again... he's always banged up.. so.. who knows.. Oher doesn't exactly have solid footwork, he has a tendency to over extend and when he does, his feet stop, Olay'!

Bobbie has been nursing the ankle back to health , the early showing of him was considerably hobbled.

If Harewood was deemed a liability, I'd place Reid at either RT or LG, and Williams at LG.
McKinnie it seems is in the doghouse. BTW, I have never been high on Oher.

If I'm not mistaken, this is Reid's 1st full week of practice this season. I wouldn't be comfortable starting him right now.

Personally, I think KO should be playing LG. Bobby williams may be good in pass pro, but he was awful in run blocking (from what i saw in the preseason)..hopefully he has improved and can help open up lanes for rice, which is what harewood has been contributing to so far. I think ray rice avgs 3.7 yards before first contact, so it just shows how good the 5 guys have been blocking for him. I'm just hoping the run game doesn't suffer with this move because ray rice has been efficient so far in the first 5 games.
