Oher Struggling Early in Camp

[davos]

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.

Certainly worried.  Hope if he continues to struggle we can find a capable replacement somehow.

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.

we've asked that question in every 'DG hates LT' thread for the last 6 months, yet everyone seems to always dodge it, like you just did.

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?

But wait... He has left tackle feet

Oher sucks, water is still wet. He was never a good LT to begin with, his best years were at RT.

[Mr. Scot]

Water is still wet,  and I've still got nothing of any value to contribute to the discussion. 

Fixed.

I wonder what it says about my personality (and everyone else who did this) that I saw this thread along with the Shaq making plays thread, but clicked this one first.

I panicked having Oher at LT some time ago so this does not surprise me. This is one area I disagree with G-man

Maybe we should (have) traded A.J. Klein for Tyron Smith.

Is that a practical solution in Dreamland?

[chknwing]

the guys is gonna need time to adjust, also, carolinas defense isn't exactly bad. many NFL LT's would have problems.

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
