I don't like being down to our 3rd left tackle

Strief has proven to be better then Bushrod at this point based on their total bodies of work over their careers so far.

So I don't think we are losing anything. The only real worry is if Strief is hurt, in which case then it would be time to panic.

Knowning Payton though, he'd figure something out and I'm actually confident our D can help carry us if our offensive production drops some.
