So I say this knowing both of them ahead of time. Maybe with this OL it's a mental thing right now. I'd go back, at least for now, to trying Walker on the left side and Chambers on the right.
Maybe they need a mental spark. The line was adequate during the preseason and vs Seattle in Week one. Sometimes a change just ignites a team. Take hockey. Sometimes, for reasons not fully known, the team plays better around the backup goalie.
I look at Jason Peters this season and I see a Pro Bowl talent giving a training camp effort. I dont know if he's bitter about his contract (very likely) and its causing him to lose focus, but he's clearly not the guy he was last year.
Even though he's better than CHambers, maybe the rest of the OL will be FORCED to respond to a change. Because right now, they are an embarrasment to this organization as a whole.
8 games in, and the story remains the same. WE can't run the ball consistently to save our lives, and we make BIG mistakes in the passing game when TOO MUCH is put on the quarterback.
