Should we bite the bullet and sign Okung for a year at this point?

Very excited to see the young talent on our team in this first preseason game. I see depth in areas I was previously concerned about, but the one area that is a glaring weakness is still Left tackle.
 

We know what we have in Moton, but Trent Scott looked completely lost today, and Christensen was just as bad. Erving has already been injured in camp and even if healthy he’s a huge question mark. It’s very likely that he misses time in the regular season, and whoever replaces him with be a massive liability and could single handedly give us a loss. Do we use some of that extra cap and bite the bullet even though we know Okung himself would be a question mark? 

What say ye Huddle GM’s?

No sense in wasting decent money for 6 games with Okung we could otherwise roll over.
 

LT is going to be garbage per usual until they can actually figure out how to draft one or be willing to bring in a FA who is proven. They haven’t been able to do either for 7 years besides Oher.

I actually agree with you but man it is tough to swallow watching a young talented team get killed in a spot like that. Games Okung would miss at least the backup would be Erving.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
