yesterday's oline will start vs. saints...good news?


Recommended Posts

Yes, it's good news. It's the best combo that we have had all year. Bell was bitched a few times. Norwell had as good a game as I've seen in a few years at LG. The Oline didn't lose us the game yesterday. Neither did our QB, it was all coaching

 

Norwell is a true NFL lineman. That dude is an animal and will play for years barring injury. He may be our best lineman right now. And now I see what bad guards were doing to Kalil. He looked much better yesterday. Remmers wasn't bad either. He had one false start, but other than that I don't remember him getting beat anything  like Chandler.

 

So, if these journeymen/UDFA rookie players are better than Chandler and Amini, why did it take so long to get them in? That loyalty stuff is for the birds. Play the best man. And if you don't have one, find one. There aren't enough NFL roster spots for every good/average player in the world. Go find them, because we NEED to replace Bell. He's not an NFL Tackle.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
