The surgery eventually will have to be done. Ramirez was developing quickly at guard. Ramirez has to play tackle. It's any guard that's on the roster right now. It's kind of up for grabs.
Somebody has to step up.
I think we'll move Ramirez back and forth. He's just got to live with it. The candidates include Juan Roque, Kerlin Blaise, Barrett Brooks and Tony Semple. Of the four, only Brooks has more than token starting experience. He started 46 games in four years with the Eagles, all at right or left tackle.
