Who else can we get tho? 

Jake long will probably sign with the fugings falcons D:

Pretty sure the Falcons passed on Long.  I posted something on that from Falcoholics the other day.  They got some no name.  Last I heard Long was a possibility for Denver (IIRC)?

Considering Oher doesn't have a solid résumé to fall back on this should be a little concerning. Many of us were aware of Oher's past performances and weren't thrilled with this signing, I was just hoping now that he was healthy he could at least be serviceable.

 

Like TheRed said, the fact that Chandler is the backup is even more concerning.

At one point, Byron Bell was also regarded as serviceable.

Might be time to up our standards.

Yep. This tells me for now, the FO really struggles in evaluating o line talent. Which explains the lack of 1st rd o linemen drafted so far. It's a blind spot.

DJ Humphries struggled mightily in minicamp and reviews overall have been far from positive even since this June article.   http://espn.go.com/blog/arizona-cardinals/post/_/id/14570/d-j-humphries-overcomes-slow-start-to-offseason-workouts

just saying.  

To add to that, Cedric Ogbuehi is still recovering and the odds of him being a big time LT this year are country mile long.http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/173091/bengals-ots-like-andre-smith-slimmed-down-to-fit-faster-offense    

Not sure what else could have realistically been done to give us the best 53 man roster possible than what we did.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
