O-Line Depth

Figured this was worth it's own thread.  Rivera just announced Bruce Campbell is out with torn rotator, likely for the season. He wasn't great but he was our own only proven backup at Tackle.

 

Our RG position is still up in the air (likely Williams but still unknown).

 

At this point, I think we need to pickup 2-3 vet players at minimum to feel comfortable during the season.  Going to be very difficult because all teams are going to want O-line depth.

Sure, I do too.  Point is, we are are in serious need for some O-line and we may be forced to spend money we were intending to save.  Not a good position to be in.  We have lost any/all leverage we had with some of the FA prospects.

We need to pick up as many RG/RT's as we can get.

And at least someone who can pretend to be a LT. There's Gross and.... Nate Chandler now? I've been saying it for months, but if Gross misses anytime, our left side will be even more garbage than our right side. Amini isn't good enough to anchor that side.

Yeah, we need a lot of upgrades and a lot of backups. I think Gettleman saved money for just this reason.

The OL will be the downfall of this team. You are limited in how far the rest of your team can take you with no offensive line. You can't hide it. I think they can find something to improve the situation but the whole thing is a gamble.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
