without significant help, their season is lost before it even started. with no edge protection, they are crippled.
basically, all they can do is wait several weeks and grab a couple castoffs who don't know their offense but can give some mediocre pass pro. sad.
if it was up to me, i'd grab a couple physically talented pass blockers from some practice squads and throw them into the fire. at least they have a chance to succeed--bringing in old, broken-down horses like barron is a losing proposition.
also, they have a gifted talent in injured menelik watson. once he's back, he's going straight to left tackle. it'll be a trial by fire, but he has all-pro physical talent, so desperation may turn into glory.
your thoughts?

Couldn't see them passing on Clowney, though either way would be a win win.

What happened to them or do I have to go to espn to find out. Why do the raiders have no tackles? Did they get lost or abducted?
