Matt Kalil FTW. I'm starting to think its a real possibility if hes there when we pick in the 1st.

[Marguide]

More worried about Shock.

[jherald]

My concern is also with Shock. We can't lose his talent and leadership right now. The man is still a beast.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything but come on dude. He missed the last 3 games his second year and all of the next due to knee surgeries yes plural. He probably could have come back last year but there was no point.

He's a beast and has proven missing a couple of practices don't hurt him come game time. So we can please stop with these fickle over reactions?

[jtnc]

I agree, Shockey may have to sit this one out, and Hartstock can't catch poo.

[Murph]

Kalil is just about a top 5 lock and #2 is a strong possibility. Plus he is a LT. Nobody uses a pick that high on a right tackle unless their franchise QB is lefthanded.

And I don't mean to be a dick but I'm tired of waiting for this guy to stay healthy. We did the same thing with Morgan. Sometimes you just have to cut your loses. Besides if he can make the transition to RG and we move Gross to RT the right side of our line would be sick.

If Bernardeau starts at RG, we are SCREWED. That is all.

[PhillyB]

most likely precautionary.

otah is a beast but bell has done a good job filling in for him, so i'm not tremendously concerned.

shockey is an important player but olsen will do just fine as a fill-in, so i'm not tremendously concerned.

hangman has improved our line's play dramatically. if he's out i'll be tremendously concerned.

I don't I want to move Gross back to his all-pro position, RT and let Kalil take over LT (maybe not year 1 but eventually).

He hasn't been ruled out and only missed 1 game this year.

Oh yay. Another week of people whining about Otah.
