Okung, Kerr missed practice

If Kerr’s out that could be a pretty big issue. We don’t really have another natural 3T on the roster. Brown, Roy and Hamilton are all natural 1Ts. We do have Obada who plays on the inside some but that is really only for obvious passing situations and I think he would get blown off the ball in the run game if forced to play there all the time. There is also Bruce Hector on the PS who is a pass rushing DT and will probably get elevated for the game but hard to expect much from him.

I miss Kyle Love for depth tbh.

We should really just sign him. Tampa Bay cut him before the start of the season so it’s likely he still wants to play and is in reasonable shape. I know he’s like the opposite direction we want to go as far as building for the future, but at this point we could really just use the depth.

I completely agree, watch Rivera snatch him up though lol.

Thank the heavens that this is Okung's last year on his deal.

That's the only thing that makes that deal easier to swallow. Trai Turner is a mauler but they valued the cap space more for 2021.

Turner has barely played this year too, and when he did play he didn't look that great. That trade may not be a huge "win" if Okung can't stay healthy and we move on from him after the season, but I don't think it can be considered a "loss." And when Okung has been on the field he's been easily our best LT since Oher, not that that's saying much...

Okung has 298 snaps this season 

Turner has 81 and only played 1 game. He isn't mauling anything anymore.

Trai Turner was never good.  Period.  We won't miss him regardless of what happens with Okung, but when Okung is healthy, we got the far better end of that deal.  

It's prolly better for the Chargers that Trai hasn't been playing anyway if they want to keep Herbert healthy.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
