I thought the trade that sent Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Eagles for a fifth and sixth was interesting. (Lull in news before the 4pm dump). I think the Eagles got a good player.

2023 seventh-round draft pick and a 2024 sixth-round selection

The track record for Bama OL is not as good as one would think. This is interesting because the moved him inside to G when RT did not work out. One of my FB friends is the son of a good friend of mine, Brandon Parker, who replaced Leatherwood but has a bad shoulder injury that will send him to IR for the year--not sure what they are going to do on the right side now.

And he is a 4th OT, if you do not consider Mays as OT depth.

Nope. Not me. I am getting ads for Bikini Summer I, II, and III.

So with the Daley trade, cutting Deondre Brown-it is starting to look a lot like this (position flexibility in parentheses) : OG: Brady Christensen (T), Austin Corbett, Cade Mays (C) Michael Jordan OC: Bradley Bozeman (G), Pat Elflien (G) OT: Ikem Ekwonu, Taylor Moton, Cam Erving (Swing)

I hope not. I really can't stand him. It is beyond personal. I loathe him, and if I see Rhule's wife, I will let her know how much I would appreciate it if she shut her damn mouth on draft day.

I went to Gif---typed in "boner". I had a very wide selection of options, but this one made me gasp. I thought, "You know, I am going to act 12 since I am protected by anonymity."

Does this mean we get Chub back? I think it does!!

It is a bit of a toss up, but I think I would have kept him and let Zylstra go to the PS

He does the little things very well--like blocking

The Observer is reporting that Erving could be dealt as well. Said there is some interest in a swing tackle

I will guess the Lions will sign him.

Not sure the Jags system did much to facilitate this. Deebo Samuel was not a Deebo-type player until the Niners found a way to use him. A Deebo-type player is a hybrid, larger player who can go from back to receiver and create mismatches. That was my point. Did not say he was going to be as good as Deebo, for the record

600 yards is no scrub. It is probably about average. But this guy (and I have not read the thread because the Blinkards tend to take over at times) could become a Debo Samuel type player for us.

Yeah, you have to look at the skill set more than the productivity in Jax---it is not how he played, it is about how we play him.

I usually agree with you, and this is no exception, except I think they like Jordan more than you do--however, I may think that because they were playing BC at LT at the time and Jordan stepped in at that time. I do not like Thompson, but Sullivan is the first player Fittmagic brought in--so its a neck and neck race to see if Rhule's favoritism is stronger than Fitt's eye for talent.

And that gives him 2 weeks to get used to his holder, timing with snap, etc. I noticed 2 things about Zane in preseason. 1. He seemed to be on the left upright a lot, as if he was pulling the ball. Was his brain subconsciously trying to protect the injury when it was hardly noticeable? 2. The injury followed a rain delay. Was he loosened up properly? I am on a mission to find out the truth. I need answers! I can handle the truth!

I just hope we don't sigh Mario to kick for us again--that just didn't feel right.

To break down film, you have to consider several variables, and many of them are related to the responsibilities of the OL. For example, on a screen, does the OL make contact and release properly so the QB does not get hit? If so, what if he misses his block on the CB? If he pulls and his C gets bull rushed into the backfield a little bit, causing the OL to arc his line, do you downgrade him for not reaching his block? I just do not think these guys know enough to offer grades. What if a lineman down blocks on a double team and clears out the DT in textbook fashion---but he was supposed to block backside LB. Will the PFF know that he missed his assignment? A WR may simply be running off a DB, so he allows himself to be blanketed. Is that a downgrade? Too much gray area.

I think with the Corral let down, reality is reforming. I think he can be our starting QB if we surround him with talent. We went to a super bowl with Jake Delhomme, after all, and he rose to the occasion,

Isn't that like bragging that you beat your little sister in a fist fight?

Burris, Deonte Brown might struggle to get a spot. I was a bit disappointed by Cade Mays, but--very much like BC--they are playing him at one position one week, another the following week. That has to be confusing. I am of the mindset that you develop a player at one position and then you expose him to another. But I am no Matt Rhule. It does seem as though the OL depth is becoming clear---Mays, Jordan, Elf (he is not starting over Bozeman) and maybe Erving---but I am not sure I would keep Erving. He reminds me of the Marty Hurney method of self promotion---overpay an average player in hopes that plays up to the contract.

This is big because Elf--when i saw him--was getting used in pass pro
