Matt Kalil contract details

A bargain for three years at what expense tho? Cam's health? The offense being able to operate? A bargain is well and good but not when the play on the field is piss poor (if the three year experiment didn't work).

He can't be worse than Remmers. Not possible. He's at least an upgrade, and I think, when all is said and done, $11 mil a year will look like a steal... We could have very possibly locked up our LT and C positions for the next 5 years or more today. That is consistency, if it works out. With Turner likely looking at a long term extension, we could very well lock him up for 5 years or more. That leaves competition at LG and RT, which I think we are going to address very very soon. ;-)

oh and for all the debate yesterday, I'd be happy with Norwell extended at LG for 5 years, as long as we bring in competition to push him. That means we could very well be set at 4/5 OL positions for a long time.

Sorry, i can't resist...  but where was this freewheelin' version of Gettleman when dealing with Norman last year?

25M guaranteed?  55M total?  And so many here have ragged on Hurney for the contracts he gave out, lol.  Look, i think having his brother here and Matsko will help a bit, but we just gave 55M to a guy who was rated lower than Oher.  I'm hoping for the best, but on paper this is horrible as-is.

Matt was really progressing well right before he got injured, and if he keeps the same or above that pace, you are paying 11mill a year for a franchise left tackle which isn't terrible. Armstead got about 15mill a year.

We had 3 straight division titles and a SB appearance recently. That unraveled in part because our LT got injured for the year early on and our line went to poo. 

That LT was picked up from another team after being labeled a bust when he was supposed to be a franchise LT and then shined on our squad.

We all literally just watched this scenario unfold in front of us the last couple of years and people are still freaking out?

Get a grip people. 

People are freaking out, because there's no certainty that it'll all play out like the Oher situation. All we have to look at is his previous play, which has been trash. We can't afford for Cam to get hit like he did last year, and we can't afford to waste another prime year of both cam and Luke. Now, if your ok with the move and want to wait and see, then that's cool, but Kalils previous play is plenty reason for people to "panic" and question the move. He's been graded out as one of the worst lineman in the league.

Me, I'm not freaking out, but I understand the reasoning of the people that are.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
