Can you name the 1 Offensive Tackle on our roster that was actually drafted?

Right not we have 7 total.

 

Byron Bell- Undrafted

Nate Chandler- Undrafted

Gary Williams - Undrafted

Kevin Hughes- Undrafted

Oscar Johnson- Undrafted

Andrew Mcdonald- Undrafted

 

Travis Bond- 7th round pick in 2013 of the Vikings...214 overall.

 

This isn't a bitching thread because we all already know what we have at Tackle, just found this to be damn interesting. We have to be the only team in the NFL without at least 3 drafted tackles.

Drafting tackles is not the issue. It is getting GOOD tackles that is the issue. Gettlemen obviously felt that none of the tackles after the first round were good enough for protecting Cam. So what will he do. He will use free agency to go after tackles. That are already proven. Not unknowns. It makes perfect sense to me. He knows that Cam Newton is our QB and that a QB needs to be protected in order for them to succeed. If Cam fails, Gettleman will be the first one out the door. Trust me.

If he does not address it in FA. It means he is content with are our current O-line. I will continue to trust Gettleman. Until we start losing. People need to get off this Marty Hurney syndrome (not talking to you directly, know you have been on this board for years). Where they think if we have a need that means we must get a player in typical fashion (drafting them or signing them). We have to believe in our coaches. We have no clue if Byron Bell or Nate Chandler will make deep strides this year. My main premise is that if Gettleman got us to 12-4 last year with scrubs at CB,WR, and O-line, he has a plan to address the o-line. I am not going to stress over it because of that. He is not Marty Hurney. I look at results. Don't care how he gets our players. If they are good don't care if they went in the 10000th round or we pay 5 cents for them. Can they do their job? That is all that matters to me. I did not like any of the tackles in this draft after the first round. Too many health concerns or lack of upside. So why should Gettleman invest a high pick, if he think the guy will not be on the team in four years? That is just my perspective. What do you think?

i expect him to fix the problem and improve the offensive line. i expect him to value the need enough to do what it takes to make it better.

i expect problems to be fixed. not ignored.

i'm not asking for perfect, i'm asking for better and at least an effort. i'm asking to be proactive in addressing it, rather than the passive route we take.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
