Big Ugly Makeovers

[Mr. Scot]

A lot of 'used to be good" uglys have hit the open market in recent weeks with teams deciding their performance wasn't worth their salary anymore.  

A few years back, Michael Oher was one of those guys. And prior to his now apparently devastating concussion, it looked like the time back under his original position coach John Matsko had done him a lot of good.

So the question I have would be whether Oher was unique due to his relationship with Matsko or can Matsko perhaps pull off a similar stunt with Matt Kalil or someone else.

Can Matsko make one of these guys ugly again? And if so, who should it be?

Fluker, Kalil, Volmer and Okung. All your tackles are belong to us.

Matsko is garbage. The Ravens OL as much better when he left. Our blocking schemes are garbage. Matt Kalil may not be garbage, seems to be effort issues with him, honestly having his brother here, there's no better fit from an accountability standpoint. That's what he needs, in my line of work from a management perspective I look at skill vs will. Kalil's issues are mostly will, if I were another team, I would not sign him due to this, but with Matt here I would sign him in a heartbeat

I'm going to say Kalil.  He has the athletic ability to play LT at a high level, he just hasn't had the coaching.  Coming to Carolina with his bro, a great coach, and a team ready to made a SB run might be enough to push him to play his best.  This assuming he's back to form from his hip injury.

Okung - he's had as many health issues.

Fluker is Daryl Williams (as was stated by someone else in another).

After that....I dunno.

I'm not the world's biggest Matsko fan either, honestly.

But I'm looking for other's opinions on he and our potential new friends.

Matt Kalil - Andrew Norwell - Ryan Kalil - Trai Turner - DJ Fluker

Man that "used to be good" feeling is a real b!tch.  When Jeremy proposed that "how many reps of 225 can you do" question, I got thinking...man I used to do a lot.  Now I get winded taking the elevator.

All I know is that I hope Gettleman has our scouts scouring all the film they can find on these released OTs. Gotta get better at that position and the draft doesn't hold much promise there, at least not in terms of instant impact type guys.
