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

    • Me, signing up for FanDuel Network, and then canceling FanDuel Network:
    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
