I'm almost sure we're looking at C and G in FA. Going LT in draft...or going QB if we get C,G and LT in free agency somehow. 

They may consider moving Elfien to fulltime at center but his availability could collapse our whole plan without a decent backup. I think Elfien is their plan at backup. Same exact scenario with Erving at LT. 

Drafting some late round C with Elflein the starter is a fine plan. I really think they need to plan on trading down from 6 to pick up mid round picks they’ll desperately need

I think Elf can be released and it would save us some $$ (2.3 million)---not sure it would be worth it--same for Erving.  Erving can play every OL position--and is valuable as a backup, I would think

Erving is about as valuable as a pack of fritos.

Brown is definitely a question mark at this point.  How much of his bench riding was on the coaching staff and how much was on Brown?  Still, players selected on day 3 should be considered developmental, so there is hope that he can play an IOL position.  A lot of it will depend on his conditioning.   OL are not subbed in and out like DL or TEs, so they have to be able to go the distance, as you know.

I think you don't go into a season starting him unless you didn't do a great job building that unit in the offseason, which we probably won't.

The truth is, on a well built team, guys like Christensen and Brown are depth. That's what they should be for us too.

I hate everything about the team rolling with Elflein at center, but it might end up being the best move long term if we're able to pick up a franchise LT with the first round selection.

The free agent market for guards is going to be DEEP this year. Current prospective free agent guards per Spotrac (pls sign Kyle Long).

There are also some potential cap casualties out there. The Bucs can save $10M if they make Ali Marpet a post-6/1 move. The Titans will save $10.5M moving on from Roger Saffold. New England can save over $7M cutting Shaq Mason and the Cardinals $9M with Justin Pugh. Erek Flowers has 0 dead cap attached to him, freeing up $10M for Washington. Gabe Jackson is another potential post-6/1 target. Greg Van Roten and Connor McGovern could also be options if they're cut.

Or just start Deonte Brown, of course.

I would love for them to draft Neal or Cross at LT with the 6th pick, but I see them trading back and getting a 2nd and/or a 3rd. Hopefully still getting a top OL but maybe A QB mid 1st round. Then using picks to draft OL and DL. I think they feel with BC he can play LT or LG and Elflein at C in case they don't get somebody to start day 1.

Depends on FA and who they sign. Since DL takes longer to develop I see a vet there (a space eater/run stopper).

I do not like the idea of Christensen as a G. He doesn't seem to have the power. I could see him learning to play C if he can communicate and learn the protections. Otherwise he is a backup option at LT. I think ELF is our center next year (I hope not). Moton will be back. The other starting positions I think will be filled by players not currents on the roster.

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
