Fitterer has "called around" about offensive linemen

24+ teams the league are hurting at o-line, there simply isn’t enough to go around. I don’t get all the “but what about the o-line” posters in the Gilmore trade thread. Nobody is trading decent offensive linemen, and if they are it’s a decent offensive lineman for two first round picks (Tunsil) are you really willing to do that?

we arent far from the witching hour for teams who will not be going to the playoffs this year.... early calls help for later transactions. We still have a month until deadline.

This. Teams will be looking to re-evaluate their rosters and cap based on their chances in the coming weeks. Who knows what we might get between now and then. We have room to wiggle.

Jets drafted line 1st round last year.  They drafted line 1st round this year.  They traded for Morgan Moses with a very high PFF for RT.  

They have higher Press% than we do and are 2nd in sacks with 16.

 

Pointing out what one of the worst teams in the NFL, who just so happens to be on their second top five QB pick within five years, is doing doesn't help your argument. Darnold coming here and finding more success should prove that.

He also said no one was interested, not even for backups.  Keep this in mind during the off season.  FAs will get paid, OL will go early and often in the draft.

Someone who has been highly drafted either won’t work out or will want out….Fitterer will offer a 2nd for a 1st round talent. At least……that’s been his MO for basically every other position. I’m not sweating. 
 

Could also have enough cap room to sign a FA. Terron Armstead will be a FA this off-season and the Saints just prioritized Ramczyk. So….probably going elsewhere. Could be a solid, missing piece veteran addition and could double dip with OT in the first round.

i seriously doubt anyone believed this OL was the answer, just what they could get at the time. no reason to believe work on the line is done, or that the powers that be are satisfied with what we have.

Have said previously I thought we signed stopgaps for this year's line with an eye toward building via the draft.

Still haven't seen anything that leads me to question that.

You mean like former 1st round pick Cam Erving?

Jenkins hasn’t  played as stated. Our staff wasn’t high on Slater playing tackle so we don’t draft him at 8. Who exactly did you want and with what pick? It will mean losing players like Tremble, Marshall, Chuba, etc that were picked in the 2nd or acquired through trading down. It’s easy for us to say they should have drafted this or that but the opportunity has to exist and there will be a trade off. Our staff can’t revamp an entire roster/depth in 2 offseasons. 

Them not being high on Slater playing tackle and overpaying Elf and Erving on the first day of free agency might prove they aren't the best at judging Oline talent. Tremble, Marshall, and Chuba vs whoever else they could possibly have drafted is one of those things that will take at least a season or more to determine. They're all just rookies getting ready to play their 5th games after all.

And yeah, they can't rebuild the team in 2 years. They still could have broke ranks from what the previous regime did and put some cheap, young talent in the Oline instead of so much on the defense. They just have different priorities. 🤷‍♂️

I think the surprise is that they are this bad.  Personally I thought they could at least be average. But damn, these guys are the worst in the league.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
