Fitterer has "called around" about offensive linemen

Rhule has mentioned the possibility of starting Christensen or Scott on the left, but also didn't rule out moving Taylor Moton.

This is my only real frustration about the staff this season. Moton at LT and Christensen at RT always felt like our best OT tandem. I can't help but feel like if we had rolled with that tandem at OT and Brown at RG since opening day we'd be on the cusp of fielding a decent OL at this point as everyone gelled and adjusted to the NFL.

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. 

Erving and Elf’s contract scream stop gap starters. They know they aren’t the answer, but there weren’t many other options. Slater looks like a miss, but the jury is still out on him. We obviously value CB very highly (maybe too high) and Horn’s athletic ability is off the chart. They wanted a “can’t miss” prospect at 8 and Sewell and Horn were the top options. Slater was moved around the line throughout his college career and had one really good season at LT. Hindsight is 20/20 and if we knew we could get Henderson and Gilmore for next to nothing and Slater was going to start off so well, we might have drafted Slater over Horn. Then you have to wonder if we win our first three games with DJax and no one else at CB…

Wait, you mean nobody wants to trade serviceable lineman because the huddle wants them to?!  Shock of the century.

It seems that I was lied to about them being a dime a dozen.

You know i noticed that since the game Sunday nobody has pointed out the fact that Darnold actually had to go under the tent for injury concerns during the game. Its only a matter of time at the rate we are going. Better hope changes are being made this week.

It wasn't injury related, his jersey was partially ripped. But yeah, still happened due to the line playing like poo

He went under the tent for a ripped jersey? Regardless, another 5 sack game cant happen. Better hope there are real changes made this week.

It is so extremely refreshing to finally finally finally have a real GM....is this what other fanbases have had in the past? 

Rhule really is doing an amazing job...it's awesome

I wonder if Okung is in playing shape. Imagine if Darnold had time to take shots to Robby.

I’d kill for a center with a nasty disposition

That’s a hell of a statement to make to your locker room.

Yep..when I heard this and others today…probably makes members of that unit not too motivated. I read a d heard a couple are playing through injuries 

they draft two…play them

of course cmc’s return, due to his quickness makes them look better…until the next time

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.

On the Walter football list Miller and Elf were literally in the top 5-10 FA's realistically available. Probably should have just kept Chris Reed at the vet minimum
