Too early for McVay to plug in some youngsters?

Here are some possibilities:

Give Gurley, Brown, and Henderson each approx one third of the snaps (until Gurley is actually 100% again). Let the most productive of that 3 start to get more and more snaps. Best producer gets fed in a law of the jungle kinda way.

Edwards at LG. Sit Demby.

Natrez Patrick in Matthews position until Clay can come back. Sit Ebu.

Long in Talib’s position. Sit Hill. Might enable Wade to revert to man coverage. Zone hasn’t been working all that well, has it?

If someone can think of an alternative to Christian at S I’m all ears.

Yeah, there would be some risk involved, but there would be upside, too. I think that the 4 players above would outplay the vets that they replaced. Plus gain invaluable experience for ‘20, plus give the FO/coaches an excellent idea of true needs for next offseason. That would be priceless information.

WTH do they have to lose, really? Like I posted elsewhere, we’ve already managed to lose 3 in a row and fall 3 games behind in the division without these bold moves. Sooooo...
