After watching the replay (Levitre)

[Mitchell55]

Why did Levitre play the whole game? Normally no one plays over 2 quarters but Levitre was there from beginning to end.

Get work in I guess.

Because he has been named the starter and needs as much work as possible.

Wood was in for most of the game as well. They need all the snaps they can get if they're going to be starting.

But why didnt bell then. It seems like they only keep players in for a long time when they are questionable about starting. Like when McKelvin played untill late 2nd quarter. Hes fighting with Florence for starter based on Collinsworth

Bell is not a rookie and also I think they realize Bell may just be a starter sooner rather than later.

yeah.. bell did look very good i though. his strength is definately much improved.

i do think we are being quite hard on Levitre.. i mean it was the guys first game ever and he has been in camp for 2 week.

let's not crucify the guy just yet.. there is a good chance that he will be fine.

I'm pretty sure Bell didn't play the whole game because he hurt his shoulder in the 3rd quarter so they took him out. At least that's what I heard.

According to our OL coach Levitre was our best linemen in the game. Really, one play doesn't speak for an entire game.

Re: After watching the replay (Levitre)

I'm not buying that. There were a few plays were he could have done more. As for the one play, that actually could have been called for illegal hands to the face.

if he had just said "Andy did fine and im not worried" then you could say that yer not buying it....

But he went as far as to say that Andy graded out as the best OL in the game.

Re: After watching the replay (Levitre)

he might have said that.. but wow it is tough to swallow.. i thought wood looked significantly better.

Interesting that Jaron noted that. I just re-watched the game. I didn't think Levitre was even close to as bad as people posted. He got pushed back on Edwards' interception. He was not being consistently being blown off line like many here have suggested.
