A lot of Chambers blasting going on here. It's obvious he's not a starter; even he knows it I'm sure. We need Peters that's a given. He is a franchise LT and Walker is much better on the right.
But it goes deeper than that. Peters wouldn't have made a difference last night. And frankly, Chambers did not play ALL that bad (though he certainly wasn't solid either)
I'm really concerned about the INTERIOR of our OL. They looked overpowered last night and this is also a trend from last year. Our running game does NOTHING between the tackles and at least twice the pocket collapsed under Edwards within two and a half seconds up the middle.
Fowler gets a lot of heat on here and he deserves it. But he's not alone. Butler and Dockery both looked like **** too. I rewound two plays where Cornelius Griffin (pretty sure it was him) had his way with Dockery.
I know Docks got the big bucks last year and Butler got a nice extension recently, but our OL line woes are not going to be totally solved simply by getting Peters back in the fold. Our interior OL better start playing a lot better or you're going to be seeing a ton of 3rd and longs this year.
