The offensive line

[Malt Liquor]

Overall the o line did decent this year. But I feel that we can upgrade at the OT position. I think Daryl Williams will become the starting RT over Remmers. But we still need to shore up the o line to protect our mvp. Either through the draft, FA, or both.

[LinvilleGorge]

If I remember correctly, Williams was looking very good early on last year before his injury, but the injury allowed Remmers to establish himself.

Woildnt surprise me a bit of Williams starts next season. Remmers would still be a valuable and versatile backup.  It'd be awesome to have your starting RT during a 15-1 SB run season as a backup.

Who's to say Williams can't transition over to LT with a fully-healthy year starting as RT this year?

Oher got a 2-year contract, right? I'd extend Remmers a couple extra years and draft a true RT if he's the best player available on our board and move Williams over to LT and continue coaching Remmers at center, where I believe he is our backup center as well as being our starting RT.

That would sure up our OL and allow us to dump Kalil's 11-million dollar price tag after next season that we could put into extending KB and at least one of our DT's.

Do you realize the value of a good center?  You don't dump a 5 time pro bowler.  He is too valuable to this team.  If he were constantly injured than maybe but he is the leader of the Offensive Line and his value cannot be based on just how much he hits the cap.

You save money and weaken the interior portion of our line.  So we shore up the tackle spot and now the interior part our O-line is suspect.  Not a wise move.

Agreed, I want to keep Kalil until he retires. The man played his best season last year, and is undoubtedly one of the best centers in the game.

This

Our staff was pretty high on him.  Think this kid could up being a flat stud at RT for us.  The thing that stands out the most to me since he's been in college is how he plays.  A big Reason why our young OG's are so good is they play with that nasty mean steak.  Williams plays with that same mentality, he's out there to put someone in the dirt.

Would love to have Amini Silatolu back. Our depth was exposed in the Super Bowl when Norwell went out with a hamstring injury.

Chris Scott simply cannot pass block and will not be back.

Thinking that Kalil money has peaked this past season.

Silatolu is not good.   He needs to be upgraded as well.

[O-Ther]

Silatolu will be like Velasco was this year. Unemployed until the injury bug hits and we need a lineman that knows our system. Amini's not durable enough to get a full year contract.

I'd like to re-do Kalil's deal to add a year or two to reduce his salary cap this year, plus let him retire a Panther

He's a solid player but he just can't stay healthy.

Amini was actually playing well this year until he got hurt (his injury issues are a different conversation). Amazing what a difference having a quality tackle next to him made.

That's the guy that wants to get rid of the 2nd or 3rd best players on both sides of the ball?
