One nitpick, the ineligible receiver upfield penalty. They never did show what happened on the play. Otherwise he has been solid.

Let Big Al walk, move Feiler to LT and Big Dot to LG???

They broke that play down on one of the Steelers sites (Can't remember which). Basically, it was an iffy call. Everyone else blocked and created a pocket that moved 3 yards or so back from the line of scrimmage. Dotson somehow (by design?) had no one to block. So, he went to find someone. He stayed parallel to, and on the line of scrimmage, started to block his man, and a split second after the ball was released took a couple of steps upfield. Point being, when the ball was released, he was on the original line of scrimmage. When the ball was caught, he was a yard past it and .... flag.

I saw a replay of it, he went downfield, but wasn't close to the yardage to draw a penalty. It was simply a bad call.

as stated above, he ran down the Los. watch it again and see where he is in relation to the ref on sideline who straddles the Los. he turned up field as ball came out. he was fine
I did not see what ref tossed the flag, but the ref on side would have been proper one although he would have had trouble seeing ball come out.

I'm gonna defer to the former Vice President of Officials on this one.

I rather flip Chukes to LT let big al walk resignihe may servicable for a 1 year but if he gets a 3 year extention the end result will be what happened to philly when they decided to keep a aging and high miliage LT in Peters, I rather draft a LT in rnd 1 or 2 sign a vet to compete with Banner and maybe consider we have got the best of Decastro and cutting him would solve cap room to keep JUJU while paying TJ max. I don't trust to experiment Firlier at LT, Chukes has the frame and feat to play LT.

That's a heckuva lot of turnover on the line. That scenario would have a new; LT, RT and RG.

Now, DeCastro seems like a man of pride and integrity. If he keeps getting injured and is unable to perform, I could see him retiring rather than sitting around eating up cap space. But, if he's able to bounce back, you don't cut an All-Pro player because he had 1/4 season worth of injuries. You let Dotson and Feiler fight it out in camp next year. Winner is the starting LG. Loser is the back up to both RG and LG.

Al has not looked good this year. Or most of last. I can't put my finger on it, and I know jack **** about OL. He just seems a little slower and stiffer. Maybe you do have to let him walk, move Chuks to LT and pay Banner. All questions for after the SB.
