Frank Omaliyia

Does someone have some tape of his play today.

Twice he has gone in this season at LT, and twice I didn't notice it because of poor play.

This is fascinating to me, for if he is a viable Left Tackle player, our options with Jordan go from ok to very interesting.

Please advise.

Frank comes in the KC game and nary a whisper of a sack on Delhomme all game. He comes in at a moments notice and blocks some decent DEs and I did not even know he was in.

I think as a strategy....maybe Gross could be the most expendable one of our free agent trio. I am in no way saying Omaliyia is a pro bowl LT like Gross but the dropoff may not be as bad as losing Peppers and having Brayton as the other DE.

Moving Gross makes more sense because he's more versatile. Omiyale has likely only practiced at that spot.

Can't say I watched him specifically, but on memory I can't recall any specific collapses or bad plays that came from his side. The push upfield was nowhere near the same without Otah on the field, but that's to be expected.

Ask Antonio Gates and Ladanian Tomlinson how a little toe booboo affects your play.....they have not been the same since 2006.

Luckily, they are skill position players and rely more on route running and quick cuts that put greater pressure on the toe. Shouldn't be quite as hard for a big ugly. Let's just hope the 13 days off gives him some time to recover.

You still have to able to fire out, back-pedal, slide, mirror, plant and position for leverage.

They don't have to move as fast as skill players, but their toes are supporting a lot more weight.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
