Max Henson wrote a piece on our rookie interior linemen's budding relationship---on and off the field, actually---and Trai Turner gave a pretty nice quote on his friend, Andrew Norwell.

 

 

"Every play is 100 percent nasty with Andrew. And I thought I was physical," Turner said with a laugh. "That's something I want to add into my game. I had my plays, but with him it's every play. I love that, man. He pumps me up."

 

 

I remember at least a few on here touting Turner's nastiness when he was drafted.  Well apparently some of us didn't quite know the true meaning of what "nasty" is---Turner included---until Norwell hit the field.  There is obviously a distinction between "physical" and "nasty".  Here's hoping to the evolution of both---the terms and how they relate our O-line, and Turner and Norwell.

 

The chemistry and respect between the linemen began to show late in the season.  The interior of the line is in good hands with Turner and Norwell for years to come.

I'm excited about the 2015 class and training camp. Could be one or two more guys like that coming in.

 

If you tried to take any bias out of it where do you think we rank in teams most likely to win it all next year? I'd honestly have to think we're top 5. Obviously everything depends on FA and the draft and all of next season, but I'm curious as to where you think we're at as of right now.

If I'm being impartial I would say maybe 10ish right now. Offensive coaching and scheme still a big issue until proven otherwise.

True, and top 5 is probably too high. I was just so excited with how the season ended. For the most part our offense moved the ball pretty well since our o-line got settled in and didn't change for the last 6 games. And all the young guys stepping up, we won't be losing any important players at all to FA, and with Gettleman I can't see us getting less than 5 rookie contributors. It was actually our offense that was keeping us in the Seattle game.... And cap space opening up. I just can't wait until FA, the draft, OTAs, TC, preseason then regular season.

Having a story like this on site is a good sign that these guys will be the starters next season.

Can't wait for mini camp in May when we all get a glimpse of the starting offensive line for the first time.

If the names Chandler and Amini are in it, I fear for the Huddle server.

Turner and Norwell were the bright spots from this past season.  Love their attitudes and both really young and can be cornerstones for the next decade.  

 

Here's hoping we can add a beast of a LT in the draft.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
