    Fluker's in a boot as well, but it's his ankle they are looking at so ACL should be fine. Did hear nothing is broken.

      Yeah, I listened to the post game and they said high ankle sprain and boot for Fluker. They said he needed a ride to his car so that implies he can't walk. Where did you hear ACL?

        I don't know what to make of Fluker. I hated the pick as a RTas I thought he was too slow, worried about his weight and though his feet were too big for a tackle.

        I always thought he'd be a great guard but he did not impress me today. Even when they sang his praises it seemed like an easy play on his part. Definitely not even close to a player like Goff

          Not even an Eric Moten.

          Still - I will always love Fluker for body slamming a Raider. There's just no coming down from that.

              In the second half, he had time. The beginning of the game was dreadful. I'm trying to remember at what point Fluker went down.

                Fluker doesn't have much experience at guard. I don't expect him to be an all-pro in his first start there at any level, but he has showed consistent improvement since he made the move. As Steve keeps saying, the OL needs time to gel as a unit and I think a good part of that is Fluker getting comfortable at RG and Watt at C. Hopefully Fluker can come back quickly and the OL will be hitting on all cylinders come playoff time.

                  I dig the positivity, especially about the playoffs

                    I figure not all of us on here can be cynics. #wearetheonepercent

                      Gonna have to bring in another OG. Who gets cut now?
                      Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                        Wow. In the first half, Barksdale at RT was making me miss Fluker at RT. In his first ever start at guard, at any level, I think you're being a bit over critical. You defended Lambo from simple criticism in another thread, but are quick to judge Fluker?
