Still susceptible. Can’t happen.
And I’d let Trey go in favor of fixing LT without blinking. The LT issue specifically ****s him up.

Blind side is critical. They lost Mitch Schwartz (First Team All-Pro at Right Tackle) and still scored 38 points on a very good Buffalo team. When Eric Fisher went down at the Left Tackle spot at the very end of the Buffalo game, the offense was completely screwed for the Super Bowl against Tampa.
This year they had 4 different guys playing Left Tackle. They've had 5 different guys at Left Tackle the last 2 years. And 6 different guys at Left Tackle the last 3 seasons. It's pretty amazing so much instability at Left Tackle has led to 2 championships and 3 conference titles in recent years. Overachieved in this situation. Every other contending team each year has a really good Left Tackle situation.
The worst thing about the LT situation this year is that it killed your Left Guard situation too, by moving Thuney to LT and replacing him with a backup in the LG spot. So now the entire blind side was vulnerable as hell. Somehow they made it through 2 Playoff wins like that, lol
