I think the team needs a prototype C if anything. You can't go too wrong building from the inside out, and it has been a problem for a few years. Kalil wasn't HOF but he mostly was never a problem, always helped the guys next to him and the QB too.

SMH, man people are ready to crown him @MHS831 . He’s been OK but not being able to pick up blitzes after his guy stunts is a big problem. It cost us 1/3 of the points NO scored because a free run at the QB that should have been picked up is the most likely to cause a fumble.

Maybe he can get better but that’s why tackles are so important, especially on the blind side. If a rusher comes up the middle it’s bad but the QB can see it and at least react. The tackles screwing up is what typically creates the fumbles.

It’s funny that the article keeps mentioning being seen as a guard even though he’s right now playing LT for us. Seems like he’s getting an opportunity. I just hope we don’t pass on a much more talented LT on the hope that next time he’ll actually react quicker to the blitz since he didn’t even get his 🦖 arms out to impede the blitzer. As said above, solid IOL help is available day 2 of every draft. Remember our buddy Hurney didn’t draft a single IOL from 2018 to 2020 after letting Norwell walk, trading Turner and watching Ryan retire. That’s the reason why our interior is a steaming pile of poo.

🔨 the nail on the head with this statement. Hurney and Gettleman’s overall failures to replenish talent on the OL is the biggest reason for the crapshow we’re witnessing now.

Umm, I’m putting that squarely on Hurney. Gettleman for all his faults, added 3 OL to Ryan who were all-pro or pro bowl (Turner, Williams and Norwell) and also added Moton. That’s four solid starting OL in 5 drafts.

Hurney saw 3 of those 4 plus Ryan leave in 2018/2019 and after they left he added Little and Daley, i.e. 0 solid starting OL via the draft.

As faulty as DG was, comparing his OL draft results to Hurney isn’t even close. Hurney left the OL in way worse shape.

You’re right bugs. The man truly loved the “hogmollies”. My bad!

Hurney couldn’t evaluate OL if his life depended on it. His best choice on OL was Otah and he wasn’t in the league too long.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
