premature e-speculation

fixed for accuracy.

i do think something is going to happen fairly quickly. they still have about a month to get ready for that first game but they need to be using every bit of that to get the new guy familiar with the scheme here.

this is especially true because TC is over after today and gone will be the 2 a days practices.

i'm glad that they tried to see if they could make do with what they have in house but they have found out that they aren't going to be able to.

I agree, I know they probably want to just wait for cuts but in my humble opinion I think they should trade for someone right now and then after cuts are made get ANOTHER guy. If we could add a starting caliber DT through a trade and then find another guy who could contribute then I think we would finally be ok. Offensive tackle might be another position we look at upgrading unless Schwartz plays better throughout preseason.

If Hurney could pull that off then the defense would not have any excuses and the team would be fairly talented and be in good shape for a run. If we wait until cuts and sign a backup that will start and then rely on Favorite and Irvin to rotate in then it will be better but by no means fixed.

Did we ever really know what was going on with Peppers? I'm not thinking about this. The FO will do what they do, I got other things to think about, more important things...Like.....I wonder if Hayden P. should play Supergirl in a Superman movie...Man I'd go see that one...

      Trading #8

      some of my favorite mocks i do are trading back with Indy or Miami, but not Arizona, as that lets Hotlanta pick before us.

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl
