Turner returning?

Unless Turner's ankle injury is severe I would assume he would return for the SF game.  Also Little hopefully comes out of concussion protocol and be available as well.

With Daley playing well do we keep him at LT or put Little (our 2nd round investment) back in at LT?

With a healthy O-line we have options.  What would be the optimal O-line heading into the SF game.  SF front 4 is pretty stout.

Dennis Daley is better than Little and it will be a shame if we move him to guard simply because he was chosen in the 6th round.

Draft status is a sunk cost, and we should keep Daley at left tackle

the primary objective for an oL is to field your top 5 oL and keep them there in that same position throughout the year unless of course an injury arises. & what this does is create a sense of familiarity with  one another so they are collectively playing in tandem or let's say as a unit..now here's we currently stand taken into consideration Daleys recent performance on the field  & that is choosing which one of our starters to replace in either Van Roten at LG or Little at LT.so moreover the decision is not who's better Daley or Little but. instead who is better Van Roten or Little?

I think you leave Van Roten in for now because of experience. He helps call out blitzes and coach up Little or Daley. I would roll with Daley, Roten, Paradis, Turner, and Moton. Have Little ready to come in for Daley if he struggles or gets hurt with Williams backing up the right side. Plus it would be good for Little to get extra rest from those concussions...  Daley and Little on the left should be our long term plan though. With Larsen having experience, we have solid depth on the o-line finally. Hopefully with continue to develop and draft defensive and offensive linemen.

Better.

Isn't it amazing how everyone on this forum after week 2 was clamoring for us to invest a ton of resources to upgrade our line, either devoting most of the next draft, trading for Trent Williams, etc, etc, while complaining that the organization has consistently failed to address the line for years and Matsko has lost his touch. Now suddenly, with all the same players, we're openly debating which of our well-performing linemen we're going to have to relegate to the bench. Goes to show we could probably stand to dial back our reactionary tendencies a touch and show some patience, right guys?

    • I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.
    • Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.  
    • I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
