    But seriously - not much he can do to change course halfway through the season. This team's issues are, however, a reflection on preparation that goes back months and decisions that go back months or years, and he has a hand in all of it. They built it into what it is, and at this point it's on rails until the end of the season. If there's any move we can make now that might help in coming seasons, I'd be all for it, but I don't know what that is.

    So what happened to make him this way? Something just snap in his head? Is he hesitant with the recovery? Is he still not fully recovered? Did the year away from football just empty his head and he forgot how to play?

    What I don't understand is he is moving well, tackling is the issue imo. But that has plagued this team for years. Its a good thing pilots don't forget how to takeoff and land aircraft.

    Mondeaux to start at NT.

    Desperate times…

    I honestly thought that we’d see two things: 1) Green moving to guard, and 2) Tuitt returning (although the second one is merely wishful thinking on my part).

    you may have seen Green to guard is JC hadn't went to IR .... still one must wonder why they didn't put Finney in at Center , he has played it well in the past for them too , that tells me they have little faith in Green as a guard too or at least makes me consider it ....

    no excuse to not insert Buddy Johnson in at ILB in place of Bush , simply nothing to lose here whether he is ready or not he cant be worse than what we have witnessed of Bush ...

    Mondeaux at Nose isnt going to be a solution or even bandaid IMO he isnt a stand your ground player he is a upfield kind of guy , I do not believe he can be the anchor / fireplug this team desperately needs , is Khalil Davis that Bad ( supposedly better than his Brother who is on IR that has played snaps at NT and did ok )

    color me confused to say the least
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    Maybe the same mental issues that caused him to tweet all that bizarre stuff in the offseason...

    more padded practices. Without an effective Devin Bush and Watt out, i don't know how effective that will be.

    Would assume this would be Highsmith's time to step up but he hasn't either. No one has stepped up except Cam.

    The changes were Leglue at RG and Adams at NT.

    Both were excellent moves!!!

    Now, what unknown can replace Bush that might bring a similar result?

    You know who could make some great player moves?...Cowher.

    Tomlin cant win unless he makes personnel adjustments with Cowher's same rationale, or assistant coaches/players.

    I had a suspicion that Leglue and Adams were really Cowher's players.

    A traffic cone would work, slightly better.

    Good point. Cone won’t move out of the way.
