Why not add a free-agent OL??

Finney filled in, pretty admirably IIRC, at Center, and guard, no? I know he’s older now, and not surrounded by the wealth of talent he had (Prime Decastro/Pouncey, Villanueva, and elder statesmen in Foster), or with the luxury of having an amazing position coach (Munchak) he once had, but he has familiarity with Ben, and would be a veteran presence up front. No way it would hurt to get him in there at least to see if it would benefit us. What am I missing on this one? I also second the emotion that I don’t think Banner is gonna do much to help improve this unit. As a matter of fact, I think their faith in him doesn’t exactly inspire any optimism considering they assembled the **** show that’s currently up there, and see no reason to bring in a guy like Schwartz or Wagner. Although, maybe Tomlin, and Colbert just ran out of more bullets during their meetings, and they just haven’t gotten around to it just yet.
They have to slow the bleeding somehow. They have money available work some people out. Or sub in the vets they have at some flailing positions. With some injuries to date I would imagine either Banner or a practice squad O-lineman gets called up. Especially being so late in the week. They will want someone who knows their plays.
