What you say is true enough - Noteboom can't seem to get through a game w/o getting hurt. And he's the backup, if McVay chooses to use him there. I don't think the universe would come to a stop if Dotson or Anchrum stepped in at RG. After his one whiff, Anchrum who was caught by surprise settled in. At LT, Thomas would apparently will be third.
OK... run behind Dotson and Havs, maybe with Avila brush-blocking and smearing somebody at the second level. Help Thomas every time he has to go in with a 2nd TE to chip on his side.
That's as close as I can come to a workable plan B, if not a solution. It involves more run carries, especially to the right side, potentially setting up a more viable play-action passing scenario.
This team has the talent to be plenty versatile on offense. Whatever they choose to do is determined by an inventive and innovative HC/actingOC who becomes his own worst enemy when he gets stuck in calling a one-faceted passing game when he has so many other weapons at his disposal.
