Rivera says Travelle will play Left Guard

[Ace_Aladdin]

I wonder if Amini injury is not serious as it sounds.....Rivera might be trying to light a fire underneath him for the bad Preseason  performance........I hope Amini & Kugibla can come back before week 1. I would like to see both on the field at the same time, having 2  Road Grader between Kalil would improve the run game & create pocket for Newton.

 

 

 

 

LT- GROSS (1) / CHANDLER (2)

 

LG- AMINI (2) / SCOTT (2)

 

C - kALIL (1) / BYERS (2)

 

RG- KUGBILA (1) / WILLIAMS (2)

 

RT- BELL (1) / WHARTON (2)

One thing that well help us immensely on the right side is having Tolbert beside cam on third downs. He will be able to chip and pick up blitzes much better than Williams, barber and Poole have this preseason.

I think when it comes down to it there's no way to effectively evaluate the efficacy of the line until after the first few games.

 

It's not quite panic time yet.

We are in for a frustrating season... ugh.

Hurney Depth keeps showing its ugly face

Everyone think we are done picking up o-linemen or not??

I think Chandler will get replaced during cuts. Not hard to upgrade with someone who actually has tackle experience

I don't. 

 

I am probably asking more than making a statement, but I think a lot depends on the status of RG Chris Scott.  He has looked decent when I have watched him.  If he makes the roster, he is the lineman we need.  If not, maybe we grab one.

 

If Scott makes the team, we are still thin at T.  Sure, Wharton can play T and GWilliams has played RT some, but I am not sure worse than Bell is a good idea.

 

Does that make sense?

So we drafted an OG in the high 2nd last year to be a "backup"?

Wow, Hurney can't stop haunting us. We have pretty much screwed every single 2nd round picks with Hurney.

I hope not but Rivera said we're done.

I see us running a lot of 2 TE sets the first couple of weeks, with Hartstock (and maybe Tolbert in the backfield) on the right side ... not the end of the world.

 

I can see it now.  The 3 TE, 2 RB set!  Woot!

Problem with Wharton is he doesn't really fix anything. In his last two seasons with Carolina he was horrible and one of the lowest rated lg in the nfl. The right side is still a problem and nothing's been fixed, you could question that Wharton makes the line actually worse especially if Wharton doesn't move to rg or something is done there. This should be nothing more then a placement for amini when he gets back.

Right because Gettleman knocked it out the park with Kug. He doesn't get a pass because this is his first year. No excuse to have a misfit oline
