Opinions: need to rebuilt the Oline AND Dline

[DubE_4MR]

Obviously we won't find 5 new starting OL and 4 new starting DL in one offseason. Luckily I don't think we need to. But it starts with the draft. When was the last time we even used a first round pick on a OL?

Much of it depends on of the Panthers change the offensive scheme next year. We've run Coryell Ron's entire tenure. Different offenses call for different types of blockers. 

Given Tepper's roots, what scheme does Pittsburgh employ?

Don’t quote me but I believe Todd Haley ran the Coryell And I don’t think they have changed since his departure.

Little is on the bubble.  I would give him one more camp and see how well he does.  I wouldn't have him starting until he proves he can handle the position.  He has been killed the last 2 games with LDE's beating anyone they put on his side.  

The next regime won't have the luxury of giving him one more camp. They'll have to do their evaluation and make that call prior to free agency and the draft. It'll be too late to address the LT position after training camp.

11 years ago when we traded back into the first for a left-handed Jeff Otah.

I realize that Linville but Daley did play LT for a couple games and did well.  Not great but well.  Morton is going to play on the right side.  I doubt Little has the feet movement to play LT in the pro's.  He could prove me wrong.

and just think, the player the bills thought we were going to take instead of little (cody ford)  has been playing really well in buffalo.

Putting up 31 on an away team is not that bad but your Dline has to at least show up.

Maybe we should figure out which D scheme we are going to run instead of just drafting guys thinking we will eventually use them somewhere in some scheme.

Nobody should be above the shakeup outside CMC and maybe Moore.  Cam, Luke, etc.  Trade em for picks if you need to. Blow it up with new coach and schemes

He's a right tackle.  We needed a left tackle, and drafted two.

No no no Cam could change all this. Honestly I think it's our scheme and no LT. GVR also is a back up level guard. We really need to invest in building both line from the inside out and cut Turner and KK who both are not pulling their weight. 

In case you hadn’t noticed Cam made the o-line look like all stars most of the time.

There  are number of names in FA this offseason along the o line

Bryan Bulaga

Kyle Long

Jason Peters

Brandon Schreff

Jack Conklin

Andrus Peat

Mike Iupati 

these are some names that stand out to me.

A good number of those guys will probably never see free agency.

Over the last few years, teams has gotten really good at keeping favored players.

Oh for sure but that doesn’t mean that some of these players won’t be on new teams. That’s the fun of free agency:)

If you haven't noticed this Oline got him hurt in the preseason. It's very bad.
