1st Round Redo: Horn vs Slater

Go back to the draft after watching that pathetic performance by the offensive line.

Would you draft Slater over Horn?

I would. Every time.

Jaycee is obviously going to be a good player. But so is Slater. All indications on the Chargers is that he’s looking dominant already.

Corner is easier to find talent for in later rounds than LT. Could have drafted a corner where they drafted Christiansen. And has LT locked up and made the entire offensive line look better.

Maybe Christiansen will work out at LT. Maybe big money Moton moves over there. Either way I think I’d rather be concerned about who is playing corner than LT.

What good is having an offense if you can’t get a stop?  We were terrible getting off the field.

The front office had a plan and they executed it.  I can’t figure out why y’all are so damn salty?

You can’t correct a decade of dumbassery in 1 offseason.

I know this will fall on deaf ears, but here goes anyway.

 

1. C'mon man. It's Pre-Season. There is no Scheming, there is no Game Planning.

2. Pitt. plays a 3-4. Do you really think we have practiced against that?

3. Scott was the starting LT.

Lastly. The 1st team only punted once.

 

Was the Oline pretty? Not really. But under the circumstances, it was good film for evaluation. Which, after all, is what Pre Season is all about.

Your "Chicken Little" comments, "negativity" and "bashing" comments are a bit overblown, if not an outright mischaracterization.

I am not changing my mind. If we don't do something about the O-line based upon this preseason's play, then I predict that you'll be lauding in January how our line was middling at best. And, no, we don't get to start out with a bar of middle-of-the-pack this season when we were the exact same last season.

 

If we don't keep improving as we hopefully will then we won't even be middling.  And with all the new pieces and new coaches, last year and this year are completely different.  What hopefully stays the same is that we improve throughout the year. And hopefully not end each year on a long losing streak.

It absolutely will fall on deaf ears while folks keep complaining as if this were November.

I just felt the need to add some actual context. Even though I know it was probably a waste of time.

 

I mean, no, it was not perfect. But I thought the line played well. It may have been against the 2s, but they ran the ball well, and protected well.  With Scott at LT.
