Greg Little (Now Off) PUP

Okung is the starter at LT. Little has become a project at this point. Sucks to trade up in the 2nd for a project.

I thought/think the hope was that he could get some valuable time in to build some experience up whether backing okung up or playing guard (which I never understood why).  Now calling him a project seems like a best case scenario with him.  I may be mistaken but wasnt being motivated a knock on him coming out?   Freaking hurney and his trading up.

But again the to the bigger issue is that the basic depth on the oline is already evaporating.

Did anyone read the article??

They said it's the active PUP and that it wouldn't be long-term. Okung and Moton are the starters and this year was going to be Little's year to learn from Okung and back him up. All of the talk of Little going to LG or RG was silly. 

This announcement doesn't do anything to Teddy, CMC, the offense, etc. Just slows down a "growth/learning curve" year for Little for the early part of the season....if that even happens.

I think the OL will end up this way--if we play any games---

Reed C (Shocking prediction--but Paradis sucks)

Miller G

Schofield G

Moton T

Okung T

Depth:  Daley (G/T),  Larsen (C/G), Paradis (C), Horton (G), Bowen (T,) Little (T)

I think the moral of the story is dont draft offensive lineman that have reported motivation issues.  Damnit Hurney

Do not draft any player with motivational issues--but these OL who do not report in shape get hurt easily.

    Always the same story on the Huddle. When someone tells you a player like Little has serious motivation issues, people just attack the poster and call him negative and biased. Now, when it becomes obvious, folks act like there was no way to see it coming...lol. 
 

    Same as the Gano situation. That outcome was predicted by people on here during that whole process. But once again, just deemed “negative” when in reality it was absolutely correct.   
 

    Is “negative” a new slang word for being right. It sure seems to be how things play out on here. I’m just glad it doesn’t matter to me anymore except for laughter.

I keep forgetting we got rid of Turner. Our interior line is going to be the worst we’ve ever had I think.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
