That ended badly . . . two pre-season games . . . 
So much for my theory that a healthy Marvel Smith would be the key to a successful season . . .

Levi Jones, played LT his whole career, I wonder if he could be just as good at RT he also is 2 years younger than Marvel Smith. I wonder if the 9ers are considering him??
And yes, Jon Runyan would be my second choice, solid run blocker, I think he would make a good fit in Raye's offense.

Why? because there wont be another 1st rd tackle next year in the draft? But im assuming there will be another 2 time biletnikoff winner in the draft. gimmie a break

Levi Jones, Mark Tauscher and Jon Runyan look like viable RT temp options.

Runyan without a doubt for one year. Let's move on to the next problem like who is rushing the passer and who can be a serviceable NFL QB. Hill only a journeyman backup.

I would like to see if Boone can possibly pass up Sims on the depth chart, if not, look for Jon Runyan or a Levi Jones type signing. (not MM but my speculation)

I wouldnt mind kicking the tires on Runyan.
This is too bad. I thought Smith looked pretty decent against the Raiders. Hopefully Snyder will play all 16 games and we can worry about this in the offseason...

I actually thought he looked decent in both Preseason games. Its too bad, he would've had a chance to finally show he could start over Snyder.

for sure. I'm excited about Boone, though. He seems to be playing well from what I've heard. The best case now is Snyder plays a full, decent season, and Boone progresses enough that he can compete for the spot next year.
Unless, of course, the Panthers tank this season and we have a shot at an elite tackle in the draft.

Panthers have a difficult schedule this year.
At this point in the season, free agent offensive linemen are free agents for a reason. We're not snatching a gym of the trash heap.

Well so much for Davis being able to have a break out year.
At this point 500/500 is out of reach.
