Well it seems as if our hog mollie is out for a few weeks, now we have to replace him, but with who? we have 3 guards/centers in the rotation. My personal opinion is to give the start to Velasco. He looked somewhat ok as the center on monday night. If he can just get a little push then the rushing attack will be primed. I still think amini is total garbage and that this is his final year as a pro on our team. Also was not a fan of Scott, he seems like he is overweight and not in game shape.

Ron Rivera confirmed that Amini Silatolu will start at left guard against the #Packers. #GBvsCAR

Rivera praising work of Amini Silatolu. He'll start at LG Sunday with Andrew Norwell out.

 

Personally, I'm ok with Amini at LG as long as Kalil is at Center, that should not be too bad. 

Wonder what will happen with Daryl Williams?   Once again, I doubt we want to mess with the line too much with Norwell out.

One reason not to put Velasco in at LG is that Kalil is coming off an injury.  Want to keep Velasco available as backup Center.  Also Velasco was dealing with an injury earlier this week, while, at least to our knowledge, Amini is fully healthy,

How about Amini since he did a fine job filling in against the Colts?

Well, the Colts d-line isn't anything special and the rain put both defensive lines at a disadvantage.  Hence why we didn't much of a pass rush, especially late in the game when the field became soakin wet.  So, Amini's gameplay on Monday wasn't all Amini.  The rain helped.

The field was soaking wet the whole game.  The pass rush got gassed due to the type of game it became. Amini is adequate at he is aggressive.  He will do for now

The best option are Amini and Williams, we need to be physical against Greenbay.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
