Teddy out for a few weeks but back for first game more than likely. Hard to see him ever playing here. Going to be the Turner & Benhart show again. Puke!!

Geez smh why does he always get hurt  Its like the one guy everyone know's who always gets sick and everyone else is fine. Maybe football is not meant for him and we should just put our faith in the other o-lineman on the team and Donny. Yes he has huge upside but what good does that do if he isn't seeing the field?

I try to track which OL are (mainly) working at which spots as best I can.  Not sure I have them 100% but I try.

 

I had four guys listed at LT: Teddy, Corcoran, Hood and Gottula.  Two of them (Teddy and Hood) were the two OL Rhule listed as out injured right now.

 

Tough when we really need someone to step up there and that's the position hit hardest by injuries.

Looks like we're gonna find out if Raiola can squeeze any more development out of the Puke Brothers. I love Teddy and his potential, but dude is Mr. Glass at this point. 

Subquestion: are they the Puke Brothers because of how hard they pracice, or because of fans reaction to our tackle play/performance?

I really wish we could just move Corcoran inside and be done with it. Can't seem to get any luck on injuries or transfers or seemingly anything that would allow that to happen.

 

I like the guy, but I have zero confidence he's anything at that position except an emergency option.

Best in 2-3 years basically translates to slightly better than complete dogs#!t...

Rob Zatechka (who is a doctor) has been concerned about Prochazka being just too tall with long limbs to stay healthy in the long run. There is just too much force put on the long limbs of Teddy’s which creates injuries. I know that there are a lot of linemen in the NFL who are 6’7” and above, but Prochazka is nearly 6’10”. It’s like NBA players over 7’4” who have trouble staying healthy and having a long career.

Or does it mean they're just thicker? More depth?

These segments are like a monster truck dealership telling you they get great gas mileage.

 

They exist purely to make the league’s teams seem interesting enough to watch.

With Nouili out, the top OL group was Corcoran-Piper-Scott-Lutovsky-Benhart.

What? Do we know what Nouili's injury is?

Rhule said he'll only say if they are out for the year and did not talk about Nouili. Listed Brodie Tagaloa and Maverick Noonan (knee, not ACL). Everyone else should be back for the game but definitely a fair number of guys missing days.

Not necessarily good to see him in one but the non-contact jerseys can mean anything from precautionary to a little banged up. We will see players show up in them randomly through camp, maybe for a day, maybe for a week. I’d be concerned if he was in street clothes.

So, Noonan is out for the year?
