If Norwell makes the probowl this year it probably means we are having a DAMN good season for him to get noticed and voted for.

I'll take it with pleasure and worry about his contract in the offseason!  

I truly want us to find a way to keep Norwell & Star both.  Realize it will be hard, and made much more complicated by our murky GM situation.  But for now the possibility of having too many good players to be able to pay them all is a GOOD problem to have.

Each year, the cap grows and even with attendance down a bit this year, I don't think that will change. Hopefully between the cap expansion money and a retiring vet or two, we can get deals made with both Norwell and Star. Strong and cohesive O-lines and D-lines determine the longevity of good teams.

If Norwell makes the probowl and Matt Kalil continues to look bad, Kalil will have looked bad while playing next to a probowl guard. 

 

Not a good look.

Watched a few of his bad plays.  The Oline as a whole is bad when against stunts of any kind.  Kalil doesn't seem physically limited, most of the plays he gets beat just look like he didn't know who he was supposed to block.  Hopefully as the year goes on he will play better.

I'd still rather pay him to protect Cam than Star. 

As much as I'd like for the team to find a way to keep both without breaking the bank, I will have to agree with you.  Exceptionally good offensive linemen are really hard to come by.  And while the same came be said of defensive linemen, a very good OG is something you must have.  We currently have a pretty good rotation on the DL, not so much on the OL.  So if it comes down to one or the other, I'd have to say I hope we keep Norwell.  I'd really hate to see Star go elsewhere, but sometimes those things are unavoidable.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
