Happy bday man. The sphere looked cool when I rode by it when in Vegas - curious how the inside is

Good 1st period. Now let's not have our usual 2nd half period poo show after a good 1st period please

This team continues to impress me when we have everybody healthy. If we can get a good big by next season, I think this team could legit compete for the top seed in the East

Honestly not that crazy. We spent big bucks on our 2 guards and he inherited a team from Fitterer that was completely void of talent at just about every position (while also not having picks because of trades by Fitterer). There are only so many picks we had and you can't fix every position group in a 2 year span

It's honestly like watching a 5 year old playing soccer - they just aimlessly run around trying to get the ball. XL just aimlessly runs around the field and has no clue where he is 90% of the time

Him being able to block corners is nothing close to the same as being asked to block D linemen or LBs. So no, he won't be a TE unless we line him up as a slot TE (which wouldn't be any different than him being a WR in all honesty).

It's about time. He really shouldn't be calling plays unless there is a key play or 2 we need on offense late in a game

Man, that is a lot of guys that played meaningful snaps for us last year we are letting test free agency... Kind of worried we are going to lose Yosh

With his play the last few years, pretty sure he quit the league 4 or 5 years ago...

Surprised they made the saints 7.5. I get they played better with Shough, but that team is pretty void of talent also with a lot of players they are going to lose in free agency. I honestly think the winner of the division will have a losing record again

No doubt we were running better without Corbett out there. Crazy thing is we still ran better with Curhen out there than Corbett. I would love to see a graphic of what % of our run plays were right of the center and inside of the right tackle - it felt like 60% of our run plays the back half of the season were either right of the center or right of the guard, which made no sense when Icky and Lewis are probably our best 2 run blocking offensive linemen

I get the argument, but I feel like half of the super bowls won in that time frame have been by Brady or Mahomes

Right now, I would say doubtful he even plays next season. A ruptured achilles is about one of the worst injuries you can suffer in the NFL and at Oline, as it really impacts your ability to get that explosive burst forward when the ball is snapped. I'd be thrilled if BC recovers 100% and plays like he did before the injury, even if he doesn't play a snap next year while rehabbing.

While that is true, it is much harder to have the actual strength to move people backwards with run blocking (which is a weakness for Cross). Cross was never going to be a dominant run blocker because if he put on the mass to have better strength, it would take away his good lateral speed to slow down speed edge rushers. For Icky vs. Cross, it came down to do you want a mauler OT or a agile pass protector OT. We chose the mauler because we were (and mostly still are) a power run offense. At the end of the day, Icky is a top tier run blocking tackle in the NFL while being an average pass protector. I think a big reason why our run game mostly went to crap the back half of the season is because we stopped running the ball to the left side for some reason (that combined with teams stacking the box). Just blew my mind that it seemed like 2/3 of our run plays were off guard run plays to the right behind freaking Corbett... Like the dumbest designed running lane to choose with all the other people we have on our oline.

I honestly might be willing to overpay Yosh a little to keep him. Versatility to play LT or RT (even though he is a much better RT in my opinion) while also having great durability, as he has either missed very few or zero games due to injury in his career. That is the type of depth that is very underrated
