41 years old. Oof.

41 years old. Oof.

Doesn't mean he won't contribute though. I'll take a 41 year old future HOF over Stone any day of the week.

I agree, I just didn't know he was really that old.

Let's hope it's just a couple week insurance policy, and not long term. Peters did play very well in Dallas last year.

I just heard a funny one on 710. Peters started playing in college in 2000. Charles cross was born in.........2000

My immediate thought is that one or both of our tackles are going to miss time. Damn.

Turf toe is no joke, especially for dudes who weigh 300 lbs who need to put weight on their feet for balance and leverage.

So my guess is Cross is going to miss at least 2-3 weeks trying to get that foot right, and who knows about Lucas. Chronic knee? I can't even guess how you fix that mid season. He was resting that knee the entire off season and pre-season, and it still caused him to come out of the 1st game.

That's not good man.

 

[SNDavidson]

someone shoot that knee with all the steroids

 

[rcaido]

Is Walter Jones available?

 

[hoxrox]

Carroll was coy on the turf toe question, which means Cross will likely be out awhile. Lucas' patella tendon issue, not a tear or anything but I can see why they are playing it safe.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Isn't turf toe basically your entire toe pulling back to the top of your foot? That just sounds incredibly painful to walk, let alone play football.

The question is can he stay healthy for a few games. I'm betting we will still see Stone

 

[strohmin]

It looks like Pete has given up on this season. He couldnt find another young tackle to have as a backup before the season started? Our O-line always gets injured, you would think he would be prepared for this by now.

 

[mistaowen]

Surprisingly played alright last year for the Cowboys. 41 years old isn't ideal and Cross will likely deal with turf toe the entire season. Miserable injury, super easy to cause it to flare up.

That said, not many better guys in the NFL to have in the OL room than Peters to help mentor the young guys.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Sounds like he was solid for the 10 games he played in Dallas.

 

[JayhawkMike]

Good ol’ Seahawks. Replacing the tires when the engine is cracked.

 

[keasley45]

Didn't Curhan play well to close the 21 season? Hopefully he can get his footing and return to at least that form.

Very simple - you need to replace the depth if the depth has to step in, regardless of who ends up playing in place of the injured starter.

Young tackles who played as well as Peters has in game action over the past few years aren't free agents.

What world are we living in where good young tackles are *cheap depth?*

Just ain't how the league works.

 

[rjdriver]

Is Walter Jones available?

I was thinking the same thing. I think we could be right back in the hunt if we had Walter Jones and maybe Anthony Munoz as bookends. I know they're close to Peter's age, so perhaps we could sign Orlando Pace to a vet min deal in case one of the starters goes down.

 

[hoxrox]

I thought he played well too but as a guard and in run blocking. As a tackle and in pass pro? Sunday wasn't good.
