All I'm gonna say is man, how many times did we see literally this same post made over the years about Fox/Hurney and Rivera/Hurney after we signed some dude that proved to be trash?

Yeah, I don't think the franchise has really earned the right to that benefit of the doubt.

I remember Elflein being pretty good in the past. Don't know as much about Erving.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not "freaked out" by either signing, but I am a little concerned about us pursuing recently injured players again.

OK ill ask...are either of these guys any good?

Well, classically, no?  Ish?

This is almost a challenge for the coaches.  Here's guys with good traits.  Now whip them into shape and make them play well.

What people don’t realize is that the best players can end up being complete trash with an injury or in the wrong system.

 

Meanwhile you Find players that have sucked for years all of a sudden hit their stride and become good, because they found the right system or just was a late bloomer.

Darryl Williams: He is not the worst RT in the NFL as he seemed to be when we let him go. He looks like a top 10-15 RT.  

Great comment here OP.  Hard to gauge players with injuries and both the OL signs were cheap, have pos flex and aren't old.

I think Elflein will be the starting LG, and I think we will like him.  He is good in the run game he can pull and block in the flats or cross the formation and kick out.  He is young, and needs to work on pass protection, but I think he will start.

About Cam Ewing.  He actually played C at Florida State for a season (I think his final year). He is 29 and I think could be the next RG.  At KC, he looked good at G and played both sides. They paid him more than a backup, so I think he will be in the competition at several positions (LT, RG, C)?

If we got 2 starting Guards out of this and they play well, this could be great.  I know many of you are bummed--so was I, but these were not leftovers.  We went out and got them--we targeted these two "diamonds in the rough"

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
