Per J.Person. Rivera claims they looked outside the organization for a left tackle but couldn't find one that fits what they do. I have no idea what that means or what exactly they do, besides getting the QB smashed. Don't tell me there isn't one guy out there that "can't do what they do". Just a ludicrous statement. Also said that Amini would have played left tackle if healthy.....oh boy.

"couldn't find a Tackle that was good enough to play that wouldn't hurt the cap next season"

 

Not only that but there just aren't teams lining up to trade their starting tackles, and there aren't any teams with backups that should be starters. Tackles aren't a dime a dozen in this league. We really had no options other than the guys we have.

There isn't a guy out there we could've easily gotten, and have it being worth it, that's any better than Bell.

Running backs are a dime a dozen, and that's where our money is tied up.

Oh the irony.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
