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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
