[TheRumGone]

This is a god awful unit how can you gettleman feel comfortable protecting the future with a line full of backups and kalil

it's not protecting the future, it's protecting the present.

 

i'm not happy with the line. but i wanna see what happens with these next few signings (if we have any) and what happens when the real bullets start flying.

We'd rather pay a luxury at DE 13 mil for 1 year than to get a really solid tackle or 2 which all went away in the beginning of free agency. We had some good choices then. Now, not so much. It's about my only gripe about DG.

 

He made the decision to keep his strengths strong.

 

I don't like it, but I would like it even less had the leveraged the future.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Lets just hope our interior can play up to potential and mask some deficiencies at tackle. They played a strong game against KC when the whole starting was together.

And also to keep our weaknesses weaker

Are Turner and Silatolu considered backup quality now? I'll admit that one being a rookie and one coming off an injury makes it tough to say that they will be good starters, but this seems harsh and an overstatement.

 

I can accept that we are flirting with fielding backups at the tackle position, I guess we'll have to see if changes are made.

I have not seen one player pop up in FA that I would have wanted to bring in here to solidify the T position, that we could afford.

Im not trying to be negative, but in the likely event we pick top 10, is there a Matt Kalil or similar level of LT to be had in next year's draft?

Matt Kalil hasn't been all that great

This coupled with the fact that the draft doesn't appear to have offered any sure fire prospects that would do the same is one of the main reasons I'm not feeling much like complaining about the tackle situation before I see one game.

I still can't believe Bell is our starting LT.  I remember Williams at RT back in 2010 and he wasn't terrible. Chandler he's looked pretty bad at times, but the coaching staff must see something in him. Silatolu looks bad to me when trying to block stunts and blitzes.

 

I think the plan this season will be heavy on the read option, and Cam is just going to have to chuck n' duck on 3rd and longs.

[MV%doe]

I think we kept so many because it's our weakest position.

I also believe we will have to cut someone when Alexander returns from suspension.

Seemed like a lot of OT got claimed via waviers. So it was a smart move to keep the canadian.

Week four someone will be hurt by then, or both cam and DA will be heathly. Having both lines @ ten each will be very rare too. Trade could be in the works too, but that's rare too.

A lot of these hacks just want to bitch, the same with Aceboogie and the god damn WR's.

 

 

Lay out a legit plan, and then point fingers.  This isn't Madden.

I'd be surprised if cam lives to see week 8 behind this mishmash of sub par talent...and that's Wharton in the pic above not chandler

Perhaps these types of thread titles should not begin with "breaking down".  I can see plenty of people breaking down our O-line this season (as well as our Safeties).
