Is anyone currently on the roster suitable to at least be a stop-gap at LT?

[saX man]

Pretty straight forward question.  

 

I don't know what the rest of the FA will provide but it's a mixed bag of offensive linemen we have at tackle and we need someone to protect Cam's blindside in the worst kind of way.  

 

Nate Chandler (G/T) random factoid: began college at OT (fr), went to TE (so), then to DT (jr-sr) 

 

Byron Bell

 

Garry Williams

 

Travis Bond

 

Andrew McDonald "Player A" in the Incognito/Martin Wells Report

 

I'm not so sure if there is but was looking to see if these guys had any fans.  I didn't think Chandler did poorly by any means this past season.  

[SuperJTheGreat]

Lol no. G man has fuged up. And if he musters up past 7 wins I might just do you all a favor and leave

[Harris Aballah]

More important: Is there anyone in the draft?

[Jackofalltrades]

Lol no. G man has fuged up. And if he musters up past 7 wins I might just do you all a favor and leave

Can you just assume he'll get it done and leave now?

[updownsigma]

Well Bryon Bell is left handed, so I'm sure that qualifies him.

[Catalyst]

Of the guys on the roster right now, I'd say Chandler has the most potential as a LT, if based on nothing but natural athletic ability.

[t96]

No we need to re-sign Wharton.

Rather take my chances with Brandon "terminator" Williams than any of those guys

[carolina-chuck]

Is Lafail still here? Heard he can def block.

[Catalyst]

One name to watch in free agency is Michael Roos. If the Titans land a LT in the draft they could release him.

[MHS831]

Williams might be my choice, but I like the snapshots I have seen of Chandler.  I think Rivera mentioned Bell (he has been worked at LT with the panthers at times in pre season and in practice).  All could be considered "stop-gap."  However, anyone can stop the gap, it is the 2 guys that form it that bother me.
:lolu:

 

I think we may go with a rookie.  I am not critical of Gettlemen on this situation either.  I think we all expected Gross to return.  Again, the bank account is Hurney's doing, not Gettlemen's.  Nonetheless, he made decisions like franchise tagging Hardy--when he made that one, he did so knowing he was probably not going to find a stud LT in free agency.  (Hardy better get 20 sacks and 75 tackles this year--that is all I am saying about that)

 

I think, when they said "there are young guys on the roster who need a chance to play", he was referring to the OL and WR depth.  We shall see.

[MedellinHeel]

No, we will draft Billy Turner and he will have a solid season. 

[ctrcat]

No, and this is my only concern (not even WR or DB concern me). I don't know what GMan plans to do, but on the bright side it's hard to name many Super Bowl winning LT's. If the answer IS on this roster however, I don't think they add their name to that list, if that makes sense.

[ctrcat]

No, we will draft Billy Turner and he will have a solid season.

A Division 1AA rookie starting at one of the most important positions on the field? Lord help us.
