Rivera: " couldn't find a left tackle to fit what we do"?

[CRA]

'Better' back ups would've fixed our OL? Talk about wishful thinking there. Back ups are called back ups for a reason. We need starters. The draft supplied two at best, and one went in the top five.

At this point, we're just gonna have to weather the storm, or not.

Talk about reading comprehension and spinning.

Who said fixed? We could of brought in better players than the likes of Chandler, Bell, etc. Almost every NFL team has guys sitting that likely are slightly better. Better is better.

People fail to realize as horrible as the OL is....Cam is still making it look significantly better. The more I think about it Gettlemen deserves way more heat than he is getting.

Even last year. Gettlemen is doing a joke of a job heading into seasons. His hand was forced last season to bring in Wharton.....and Wharton once in shape improved us and he was a shell of his former self.

Gettlemen isn't allowing is to compete. Cam is bailing him out from people realizing for 2 years in a row what a joke our OL is. Cam bails him out in to ways....he can turn a sure sack into a non negative play and he himself is a lightning rod meaning the media will overlook the slop and focus on him

Has Amini ever played tackle except maybe in high school? I don't know. They act like you can just throw anyone in there without experience at the position. I cant imagine throwing him in there without a training camp and a preseason behind him.

 

Actually he was a left tackle in D1AA college

It's pretty much just made up excuses at this point... I mean what else can he say?

 

 

when the bad excuses start it's not a good sign for anybody on this team in the offseason.

DG told you it was going to be ugly for at least 2 seasons.

Do you take him as a liar?

the issue is he gutted a 12-4 team, who does that?

[Camp Fodder]

Here's the problem...almost all rookie LT's struggle. That's why they are often started out on the right side to gain some experience. We didn't see anyone we thought could come in and start this year, so we selected no one. So what happens this offseason? We have the exact same dilemma, and now we likely have to wait yet another year while the young player is developing.

Next year when the guys selected this year start to get it, we will still be at square one. That's why it wouldn't surprise me at all if Bell is still our starter next year. I am afraid that is the reality we face.

exactly we are behind a year now

[Jangler]

somebody who is trying to get the cap under control. we can bitch and disagree on the why, but when so much money is going to the running backs, gotta go cheap somewhere and sadly it was the oline.

[Growl]

If the objective is to have Cam seek weekly counseling for PTSD, then I'd say Byron fits what we do to a tee. If it's anything other than that, then I'm not exactly sure he's an ideal fit for this offense.

What I'm saying is that Byron bell is a terrible football player.

[Growl]

Oh look the roman architects are here, where have you guys been

[ThinkAboutIt]

You guys must have forgotten what DG said.." we believe we have the answer for left tackle on the roster"...

 

"GM Malpractice."

Can someone tell me what it is that we do?

 

Lose....lots of games....since year one...

Keep expecting this from gettleman, he's building this team like the Giants and well.....lets just say that Eli feels Cam's pain. Oline will probably never be a priority to the point an early first round pick is used....maybe a 2nd or third round...but that's it.

That's my fear too since the Giants haven't really had a great OL and his philosophy seems to be the misfounded bigger is always better idea. I mean yea size is great and unteachable but OL isn't like Benji for example....

 

It takes a lot more than a fat big body to play OL...

 

I guess the good news is they spent a lot of picks on WR/DL so we may see an increase in play makers going forward.
