Creed already the best center in the league. Should have drafted him in the second, we traded down and still passed him up. Chiefs also took trey smith in the 6th when he was sitting right there for us. They had the draft we should have had. Pisses me off.

 

 

Yeah, I mean you could fill an entire thread with the list of OL that we didn't take for the past 4-5 seasons or more. It's precisely why we are in the current predicament.

Actually, given health (Clemson’s best DT and future top 15 pick is hurt), I think there are guys on Clemson and Alabama’s DL that are day 1/day 2 picks this year and next. If you could play Madden with the players, I think the current starters on both teams could win a lot against our IOL. Heck could be a couple of them who are really good NFL players.

I don't doubt that but pitting either of their DL units against us is likely to result in some record offensive performances for our team. Remember, all these scrubs we are toting have a lot of college all-conference, all-american accolades too with a lot more NFL experience under their belt. 

It's always a fun/funny thing to say that *insert elite college team* could beat *insert terrible NFL team* but it is extremely unlikely that would ever happen, no matter how good the college team is or how bad the NFL team is.

I criticized the draft when it happened. But the crazy thing, is going back im not even asking to change all the picks. Marshall and the long snapper was just questionable to me. Switch those with O linemen i think we are a better team. Its that close.

The Cheifs have a pretty solid backup center, we should trade for him if he won't see snaps in KC. Was projected to start before Creed shocked everyone in camp. Anything is an upgrade over Paradis at this point.

Why would the Chiefs trade with us?

Do we have someone to trade in exchange that they'd want?

I mean....we really can't blame the OL on Hurney anymore. That is a Rhule/Fitt thing now. We knew we had a bad line last season and "improved" it by handing out bad contracts to Erving and Elflein, then drafting two OL that have played a combined 75 offensive snaps on one of the worst units in the NFL.

Hurney left us with some poo, that is for sure but look how quickly that defense got built from nothing. The OL falls squarely on Rhule. They thought they could make chicken salad out of chicken poo and we are currently eating mayo infused poo sandwiches as a result.

Yeah we can. He set us back years. Tylar Larsen is a starting C. The White Buffalo is still doing alright. The only players that actually sucked we kept. You can't blame years of dysfunction on Fitters who is year one and Rhule who is year two. We have drafted extremely well in two years.

      Texans new uniforms. Past time for Panthers

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      When you have a classic uniform like this, I feel like you should embrace it.  For example, I really felt like the Seahawks should have done that in 2012 vs going with that monstrosity they went with. But I'm a sucker for simple, classic uniforms.

      According to ESPN stats, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 24th in the league in motion at the snap, only using it 14% of the time. The team does employ motion before the snap quite frequently, though, as it runs motion %43.7 of the time in general. When asked specifically about motion at the snap, Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales confirmed that it's in Tampa Bay's arsenal and that it can be a big help on offense. "It's a part of what we're doing," Canales said. "It allows us to stretch the defense horizontally. All you're trying to do is create a moment of indecision for the defense and then that helps the run game, helps the pass game. Switching the responsibilities to create free-access releases at the line, that's a big part of it." Tampa Bay's low percentage of using this type of play doesn't mean that it won't increase in the future, though. Canales said that while some teams are doing a great job at implementing it in their offense, others like the Bucs are catching up to speed. He mentioned that he first saw heavy usage of pre-snap motion when he was with the Seattle Seahawks and played the Los Angeles Rams twice a year. "[The Los Angeles Rams] really utilized that from the time Sean [McVay] had been there in LA. It's something that's been around for a while, and I think that the rest of us are learning how to utilize it."
