Great win.....injuries on oline....now what?

Wish we still had piggy. I know he wasn't very good, but he knows the system and considering we're literally down to a 4th string player. Geoff is not a bad choice when your down to your 4th string player, plus he could play multiple positions.

now we find out if gettleman is worth his salt. there's no excuse anymore. get some bodies in here. it's inexcusable that it's come to this. the line was downright embarrassing today to begin with and now this.

Please don't remind me about the Kugbila pick, it was a desperate reach to begin with. Zero offensive starters currently drafted since Cam got here. It's all about depth. I just would have liked to see more urgency from him regarding something so crucial to our success.

 

Kugbila wasn't drafted for this year.  Way too early to write him off as a bust just yet.

Great way to help our o line, and protect our young quarterback. Draft for next year, who cares about the offense!

Silatolu?  What about bringing in Ginn and Olsen?

 

I see nothing wrong with the Kugbila pick, dude seems like an exact clone of Amini and its actually a bit of a blessing he's hurt.  It took Amini half a season to figure out wth to do out there and now he's our best guard.  Guys like Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks were late round picks that weren't supposed to amount to anything and now they are 2 of the best guards in the game.  Who else could we have gotten that would have filled a hole for us with that pick?

 

Look I get that people are frustrated our offense isn't exactly world-class and we haven't been drafting guys to fix it.  We have however put a lot of effort on fixing our defense and look at it now, arguably the best in the NFL (us, KC, and SEA I feel are in their own class).  Most experts feel this upcoming draft is deep at OT, WR and CB, our 3 biggest holes.  Oline was not deep at all last year, hence why so many went so early and all the WRs were project players whose value was heavily influenced by demand.  Hopkins and Terrence Williams are the only 2 guys who have done anything this year.

Not many instant impact guys available in the 4th round.  You're acting like we spent a 1st or 2cd rounder on the guy.  Most mid-round picks are developmental picks, that's why they're still available in the mid-rounds.  If you find an instant impact player in the mid-rounds, you just got lucky.  There's always a handful every year, but they're few and far between.

I said the draft, that's where it counts. Silatolu is the lone starter we've added, the jury has been out on him, and he's on IR for the year. Real helpful. Compare what we've done through the draft offensively to help our young QB to other teams, like Indy, and Seattle.

 

If you don't build around your quarterback through the draft, it doesn't matter who you have behind center. We've got to improve.

Not if this defense keeps playing lights out we don't need to.  There are a multitude of ways to win in the NFL.  Having a high octane offense isn't the only way.  Brees had a huge game and still lost to a good defense.

 

Yes if we want to make that final step and become a truly ELITE team we need to add pieces to the offense.  One step at a time though dude.  It was only a few years ago we fielded the worst offense the league had seen in over a decade.  We've come a long way and I believe we will continue to grow.

Don't matter.  Tolbert will run anyone over, just give him the ball.
