Oher Struggling Early in Camp

Is Remmers just not even worth a look at LT to the staff?  I'm more comfortable with Oher or D. Williams at RT (Remmers at LT), than I am with Nate Chandler ever seeing the field at LT. 

That's my question.  He's played it before back in the day and seems more in-line size wise for an LT.  Remmers at LT with Williams at RT would be what I'd like to see an experiment with if things with Oher aren't working out come regular season.  Not saying do it now, but if things aren't working down the road.  I'm definitely willing to see Oher through.

Rivera would rather our rookie try out at LT because you know...we're clueless when it comes to LT.

who would you like DG to have drafted/signed? Seems like Hurst is the only one who got away. we could have grabbed him with a 7th. otherwise, there hasn't been anyone we could have gotten who we passed on.

with Oher, I don't think anyone expects him to be great, or pro bowl calibre. the question is, can he be good enough.

Little late for that question now. We have Oher and that's the end of it.

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.

There have been no 1st round OT's worth drafting since Gettleman took over. 

He did manage to find us Remmers at the bottom of someone's roster. He knows what he's doing. There have been some decent guys out there, but they were all overpaid and it showed. He has yet to overpay for a player.

Not even going to worry at this point. It's too early, and even if it turns out he's not an upgrade, we've got several upgrades on the team already.  It's hard to believe he will be worse.

  • We're going to get a 10 yards per drive head start just because of Ginn.
  • We have a legit receiving unit.
  • We have a healthy QB.
  • We have a better secondary.

Why are we stressed that 100% of our problems haven't been solved before training camp really gets underway?

3 out of 5 OL positions have been upgraded between the 2014 draft and remmers being brought in.  i mean damn we got two new guards who are quality starters in the draft/UDFA and a solid if unspectacular right tackle off the scrap heap midseason.

you can't do that without serious scouting and film chops

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
