Losing Shamire will be a bigger loss than we think. I think a big reason we've done well running the ball is because Shamire is actually playing starter minutes. He is caving in the DL on his side of the field. Pay attention to what side of the OL we run when it's 3rd and short. Don't be surprised to see Shamire drafted if this keeps up.
The sad thing is, this statement has never been not true. Shamire played well last year whenever I saw him play (which wasn't a lot). Everyone seemed to act like Shamire's lack of playing time last year was because of his performance. I suspect there was an ulterior reason behind this. Even if it's a stamina issue, Shamire playing 50% offensive snaps is still a huge asset, and allows us to kick out Will Bryan to tackle or give one of our guards a rest before the #deathmarch.
Finding another guard with the ability to eat human beings + quick footwork is highly unlikely (not to say we can't find a more talented lineman). Here's to enjoying our last season of Shamire.
