Gman: ...we're going to attack the issue [of LT]


top dawg

Recommended Posts

With everyone getting all caught up with Dave Gettleman proclaiming that he is not going to "overdraft" in a decidedly weak class of offensive tackles, I think that it's just as important to note what Max Henson of the team's website reported, as it gives even more clarity.


"We're going to look at what tackles are available in free agency, look at what is available in the draft and see where they fit," Gettleman said. "I'm not going to overdraft, I'm not going to overpay. But we're going to attack the issue."

So there you have it! Vintage Gettleman! Sure he's not going to reach for an overvalued LT in the draft, but he's also not going to reach deeper down in his pocket than he ought, just to pay an overvalued  LT in free agency. And yet, still, we will attack the position, so look for some changes with Michael Oher's future still up in the air.

I'm loving that language.  He knows what he's gotta do and I respect that.  Let's hope his actions follow suit.

Yeah he's certainly checking off my wishlist, with his words---LT, TE, WR, DE---now we just have to hope that GettleClause delivers!

Matt Kalil, watch it happen. He made the Pro Bowl once. Slowed by injury, but looked better than any OT in this draft when he came out, only 27. I'm sure some of you guys would pan it, Whitworth is old. Draft sucks, we can take a 3-5 round flier but that's a shot in the dark

If Matt Kalil is the ONLY LT acquisition, GMan must truly care more about Bob Barker's plea to help control the pet population more than the team.  Male Panther fans will have a much harder time getting and keeping an erection and fewer Panther babies will be made.

What else you got? Legit LT's are like white unicorns right now. Give me names

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
