quietly Gettleman's biggest pickup this offseason

That's a really tough call.,

I tend to agree.  But Ginn, Coleman & Peanut were all fantastic additions to our roster as well.  But Oher certainly was the biggest gamble and got the most criticism, so good for Gettleman for trusting Matsko et al who advocated for Oher. 

It's so exciting that we have a team that is very good at getting great play out of other team's rejects.  Really speaks to the quality of our coaching, and the character of our team.  Something about this team helps even "average" players to excel.  They want to win for one another and it raises everyone's game.

They moved him to Guard and he started 16 games. Im not sure how well he did but you gotta figure we walked away with the better player. 

I read he was moved to T for last week's game, to fill in for an injured player.  I didn't watch, so I don't have first hand knowledge.

Oher ranks 14 for his pass blocking grade.  (out of 119 graded players)  [Remmers by the way ranks 69th in pass blocking, with a grade of  48.1]

Bell ranks 47th in pass blocking.

 

For Run blocking:

Remmers is 48th with a grade of 71.3

Bell is 89th with a grade of 41.7

Oher is 119 out of 119!!!

But, I'll take the huge upgrade in pass blocking by a LT every day of the week,

Exactly. I've gotta go with Coleman as our best overall pickup, but definitely Oher was the most needed miracle and the most surprising pickup. Everyone knew that Tillman was awesome as long as he stayed healthy, and I don't count Ginn because he was just on vacation out west.

It was good to see that Norwell got a little love in the article too. And even Jared Allen lol. With Ohr I honestly didn't know what to expect but hoping that reuniting with Mastko would be a positive thing.

Top performers:

DE Jared Allen (+4.7)

LT Michael Oher (+3.4)

QB Cam Newton (+2.9)

LG Andrew Norwell (+2.2)

WR Devin Funchess (+1.7)

Im glad Remmers has filled in good for the last two seasons but Ive seen more holds and sacks coming from his side lately then I care to remember.  Hopefully Daryl is ready to take over that job next season.

Agree.  Ideal would be to promote Daryl to RT if he is ready, and keep Remmers for depth since he can sub at several positions.

By the way, I WILL do a Stats & Analysis thread this week.  I've been waiting for my sprained left wrist to heal up a bit more so that the data entry is easier...

I will make sure to include the regular season-ending PFF grades for our entire roster.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
