Greg Little....

[ncfan]

Does anyone think that if there is a higher iOL or Defensive player overall on the board rds 2-4, that Rhule skips OT and gives Little another shot.

 

I have been the biggest Little Critic since he came out.

But i will admit, he Has shown a few flashes at times.

Has anyone heard anything about his health as well recently? @Zod @RoaringRiot @Verge

At this point, don't think he can be counted on as anything more than hopeful depth. Whether that be OT or G even, pray he's not a complete waste of a pick and can be somebody's backup.

I mean hes has a contract, we are super thin at the position and its year 3 for him. I see no reason to not keep him until at least the end of training camp. I think people forget that a lot of what was said about Little around draft time was that he was a great athlete with great size, Little has good feet but the rest of his technique needs work. Which is why he was taken too high. Let this staff work with him for a year or two and see what they can make of his skills. They seem more capable of molding him them our last staff, which couldn't build up a o-line player to save their jobs.

You wouldn't have to cut him if you weren't stupid enough to draft him to start with. He's a bust and watching his turnstile technique of blocking isn't going to make it better.

[DeSim]

The flashes he has shown is mostly, if not all on running downs.  His issues are on pass protection, big issues.  He should be kept around, but just as a backup...definitely need to find someone else to be the starter, he's not it.

[hepcat]

nothing has changed, he can barely stay on the field and when he's on the field he's inconsistent at best. if the light comes on this season, sweet. if not, he might not make it through training camp

[OneBadCat]

I thought he was becoming a decent player but the concussions kept stunting his development 

[Pup McBarky]

Would love to keep him as guard depth. He's not good on an island in pass protection. Someone will overpay for him because OT.

[ForJimmy]

He is just depth at this point. He can prove me and others wrong in camp and limited action and I’ll be happy. We should approach it like we have no LT though.

[onmyown]

If he works really hard like everyday and pushes himself 100%, takes no shortcuts, and gets some extremely skilled coaching

He just may become...average depth

This, 100%.  He's not playable because he has too many downs where he just absolutely whiffs on his assignment in pass blocking.  You can get away with that on occasion, but not a couple times a game.

The fact that he's been a healthy scratch is every reason why you move on from him.

[Captain Morgan]

This is his make or break year.  He's going in healthy with a little experience, but most importantly, if Rhule and his crew can't teach him enough to be relevant, he may not even make year 4.

Rhule and crew have thrived on teaching players who have the physical tools but haven't been coached right.  I'm pulling for him, at least to be a starting guard if he can't play tackle.  We'll see.
