I'm actually okay with the depth guys on the interior. Brandel has experience and has played well in stretches and I thought Jurgens played well yesterday. It's the depth at tackle where it starts to get real dicey. Still hate missing our starting guys as I'd like to see some continuity starting to grow. Hard to do when different guys are missing multiple games

Sticky...that first video of Jackson was awesome...a one-two block to open the seam for Mason's TD. Impressive read and execution.

Also, might I point out he played 38 of the 60 offensive snaps? A bit of a pitch count if you will...

Not going to lose any sleep over this one. Not every team can lose a starter and replace him with a player who started 17 games at that position the year before. What's more, Brandel was pretty good last year when Darrisaw was playing next to him.
Just keep avoiding the season-enders. Those are the ones that really mess with a team.

The tough part is Jackson was starting to really come into his own, confident and laying the wood. He realizes he can not only play in the NFL but be pretty good, and KOC mentioned that he had that realization which is pivotal. He'll be back in not that long. As much as I dog Brandel, we could do worse. But he's a top-heavy lunger that ends up on the ground too damn much.
