Mays at center

I mean honestly we keep 9 oline at most. and our top 9 aren't bad. You're likely looking at Elflein and Jordan rounding out the 8/9 spots on that list. I don't think that Daley or Brown make the roster. I also think there's a better than average chance we can upgrade from other teams cuts.

Jordan sucks ass too 😞

Why are we quickly writing off Bozeman after a single game of preseason? Players can have rough games , they’re human. I don’t get it. It’s not like he’s out here costing us Super Bowls with poor blocking. The line will be fine. The ground work has been placed. Rock steady pro bowl RT, super bowl winning RG, C from a team that calls for a premium at every OL spot, 6th overall pick on a pure bully of a LT (although he does need to work on balance, but he’s a rookie, let him have that time), and at LG you’ve got an underplayed player that people have been saying is most improved- with a well renowned OL coach.

I sincerely don’t get this doom and gloom. We need more glass half full going on in this fanbase.

I'm not sure that saying that Mays could be our future at C is writing Bozeman off. I feel like this thread is a positive thread, so I'm not sure why you're confused. I'm assuming Bozeman is going to start, but he's just looked average to me so far, but average is obviously better than what we've had recently. I just think that Mays has the potential to surplant him in the near future. I don't understand why you feel that's a negative.

Not the entire thread but I’ve noticed in other threads and some comments on here that poof- Bozeman is done. I’m actually also really high on Mays too. Wondered why his draft stock dipped like it did.

He's was a guard forced to play tackle on a bad Tennessee team with a bad offensive scheme and missed some time due to injury.

Out of sight out of mind. Bozeman is hurt so he's out of sight and out of mind.

Mays is a bright spot in an otherwise clusterfug of bad depth in Jordan, Daley, Brown, Elflein, Tecklenburg, Horton, and Erving.

depth almost completely across the board is this teams biggest weakness, but at least this team looks like it could field starter quality players at every position for once.

It's pretty obvious what we're doing with our o-line. This is more of a run blocking o-line built for CMC. The plan is probably to play action pass to CMC once he gets going, and then throw out of that. We're going to try to maul teams with monsters like Ickey and Moton, and in the middle we'll use violence pulling like you saw in the clip in this thread. That can lead to injuries but also set CMC on fire for big gains. Smashing into guy leading with your head and going flying to the turf does not make for a long career, put it that way.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
