Oher if healthy. Rookie LT is usually a disaster and this year's class is underwhelming. No FA worth shelling out the big bucks for either. Ideally Oher comes back for this year and we get our future LT in the draft this year or next with Williams solid at RT and Remmers a very solid swing tackle.

Nothing wrong with shelling out medium-sized bucks for either Thomas or Staley. In this case, your average Joe is an upgrade.

Ok gals and guys, sit back and let Hubby enlighten you. Are you relaxed?...Good.

 

If Oher is healthy coming into the year, he is the starter. If for some reason he can't go. And as of right now, all signs point to him being willing/ and ready to go. Remmers would be the starter.

 

Now the questions becomes. Are we actively looking for that anchor LT? Or are we content with what we have? Unless a LT falls into our lap, what are the plans going forward?  Who knows really?

 

The best we can hope for IMO? Maybe a broke down Vet LT to tinker with. Or a draft pick with potential. Sorry.

... How do you miss 13 games with a concussion and, right after the season, are like "yea, sure, Ill be a-ok for next year"

Either the evaluation was off during the season, is off now or we were sitting him like Luke.... but for 13 games?

I don't pretend to be an expert in concussions. But it has seemed that the turn around time for most players is 1 to 3 weeks.

I hope you are right... but that all 4 of those guys are depth.

We need replacements at both tackle spots and a future replacement for Kalil.

As I think we are all painfully aware, Remmers is an often flagged tackle who cannot handle the speed rush.

I would be less mad at DG overpaying for tackles than him not addressing the position in FA.

Cam, or our scheme... or both... need time.

Why the Daryl hate? The kid played really well this year. Why waste resources on a position that is set? It seems a lot of folks are not enamored with Daryl. Man, I am not alone in thinking he is our RT of the future.

Got no hate for the guy... just reminds me of Amini in that the coaches are always saying "yea, he looks really good..." and then he falls off the radar.

I am completely comfortable that RT will be handled with the roster as it stands....as long as that RT isn't forced to play LT for Oher by week 2.

It was obvious from the first game against atl when he held Beasley sackless. Which he also did the second time they played. He works well with Trai, and jus looks real good over there.

 

He has earned it by playing well. That RT spot is his.

I've even said I'd give up 40 as long as they give us a day 3 pick as well.  I just don't know how a new regime with such a long rebuild ahead could turn down their 3rd top 40 pick as well as even more cap flexibility to sign younger players, regardless of how important LT is or how good of a guy Staley is.  His career would literally whither to nothing and DIE there if nothing is done.  By the way he missed time at the end of the year due to a hamstring injury, so that should be used in leverage as well against their new regime.

We will not secure two new starters at tackle. I agree that we need to get better at both spots, but I think we go with Oher at LT and Williams at RT to start. Remmers and the Rook back them up, we try to groom the young guy for the future. We are trash at WR and S and paper thin at RB and DE. I think Cam benefits more from a bonafide play maker than a new OT.

You have to figure Oher will be on the roster next year without doubt. Unless he retires. Oher's contract status.

3/6/2015: Signed four-year, $24.45 million contract. The deal contains $9.5 million guaranteed. 2016-2019: Under Contract, 2020: Free Agent
 

I believe however counting on Oher next year would be a critical mistake, with the potential to make another season a throw away if we don't have strong contingencies in place.

Anyone know why we arent high on Cam Robinson for LT in the draft? as mentioned in the Fournette thread, I'd love to get Fournette but we will see more improvements with upgrades on the O-Line. in fact I'd would be totally OK with the Panthers double dipping on the O-line in the draft. we need help bad there.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
