That might be the future. Elf and Erving will see a large amount of playing time and will hopefully help mentor these young players. Scott/Erving, Elf, Paradis, Miller (rookie could beat him out early), and Moton probably start us off. I’m just excited to have potential and youth on our offensive line. My main concern is LT, but Erving can play it (not very well), Scott was ok there, and Christensen has potential there.
On a side note, Little better play his ass off in practice or he is gone.

I’m expecting Little to not be on the team by the end of the season.  He’s basically shown nothing when he’s on the field and has been injury prone on top of that.  He is baaaaad, and not Michael Jackson bad.  Simply bad.  
 

if we’re able to get three starting OL from in one draft, especially two of them being 6th round and UDFA, I’ll have a poster of Fitterer’s face made and nail it to the ceiling above my bed.  I’ll go to sleep with a hog mollie smile every night.  The guards are hyped up in my mind but I’m trying to not get my hopes up.

 

I think Christensen can play LT at this level as well but maybe I have the rose colored glasses on.  The main question with him is arm length.  If he’s fundamentally sound I don’t think it will be a problem.  I’m actually excited about the OL for once

No need.  Your word is gold.

Everyone wants immediate results, and I think this line is WAY better than last year.  Did you notice the Tremble/Christensen combo blocks?  Think we are not going to have answers if he takes a while to develop?  We may not start a rookie week 1, but by mid season, we could have 2-3 in the lineup.

He is just saying if a 6th round pick doesn’t get playing time or even gets cut, it not that surprising. It really depends on your definition of “bust”. 

Players bust every year. I mean very few teams keep all 7 picks but they also don't draft them with the intentions of cutting them like UDFAs. A better saying is udfas can't bust and that's true. If you draft a guy especially when you're picks are higher in the round you expect at least to keep him on STs.

David Moore will make this team and will play significant minutes. He may be starting by the end of the year.

Kid is nasty. Still with a truncated preseason we might not see him get to where he needs till mid season.

I know every year there is always a late round pick, or a UDFA that we all jump on. Some years even more than a couple.

 

But man, these last two years? We can have more than a dozen or more guys making considerable contributions. With more than a few of those being later rounds or more types thrown in there. I can sure live with that.

 

Say what you want about how we have addressed the QB position. But there is a whole lot more talent than there was just 3 short years ago.

Helps having a coaching staff that doesn’t stick with failing vets till the end

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
