Why we should draft OT

It's fine. This year will be different and guys who played poorly last year will be better just because and the injured will be healthy...just kidding.

We should build a better Oline but im not holding my breath with how things are looking. By keeping Marty we have estitially tanked this offseason, again, which means Little & Paradis are likely the answer even if it's a bad answer. These coaches better work magic because they are going to need it. At this point, I'm hoping Moton hits the next level and Tre can look close to what he was pre-contract. Those two seem realistic, the rest I will belive once they do something positive.

this year is a golden opportunity to get a left tackle.  And by doing so, we solve 2 big problems on the offensive line.  Greg moves inside, and our new LT, who would be higher rated that Greg coming out, now gives us a damn good line if Paradis can return to form.

Won't happen.  Marty will give Greg a chance for a healthy year,  Rhule has said he wants to fix the defense first.

I think it mostly depends on FA. I would try to address both LT and DT via FA. If you're counting on the draft to cover a known area of weakness, then you're doing it wrong.

Not to say I wouldn't draft a LT too, but would want to attack at multiple angles. LT is too important at this point to toy around with it. We can't keep a QB healthy primarily because of that position. Time to take off the kiddie gloves and get serious. I prefer the idea of a short term solution (vet on a 1 or 2 year deal) with multiple long term solutions in the mix (draft, Little, Daley).

I don’t really think shifting Little inside creates a good G. Seen that mentioned a bunch but I don’t think he’s got that strength and run blocking ability.

Should have taken McCoy and Evans instead of Little and then gotten a much better tackle this year. The best case scenario is that Little becomes what Marty imagined. I know his projects never work out well and his picks are usually only good if he’s picking amongst the top 2 or 3 at a position, but it’s still best for us if Little works out. Especially if at 7 we can get one of the true studs in the draft like Brown or Okudah.

I agree. I don't think Little would be better suited at Guard either. If anything, he's an OT. First he has to stay on the field long enough to develop.

Dont see why everyone is so quick to push Little inside. 

Moton is hitting FA next year.  Little reminds me some of Ryan Ramczyk, who was a LT in college drafted end of the 1st.  They kept their LT and pushed him to RT, where he's become one of the leagues best RT's

 

 

Oh and by the way, the RT's spot he took.  Was former 1st rounder Peat, who people said would be a better OG than OT coming out but started out as a solid RT (sound familiar........Moton)

One of CMC, Samuel, Moore, Jeudy, will be open very quickly, not to mention Thomas.

We're going to turn Cam into a throw the ball in 2 seconds and let your skill position players do the work. Then when teams creep up to stop the short stuff, boom, deep.

Can't throw deep, he'll get sacked because you have no offensive line.

This might be the deepest and best group of WR talent to ever be in a single NFL draft. Going WR would be a huge mistake. If Brown isn't there, you absolutely have to think long and hard at OT because we haven't had a starting caliber LT on this team since Gross retired.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
