I don’t get why people are saying elf was great. He was okay. He was also constantly on the ground and I’ve see a few plays where he got in the way of a run and caused the runner to get tackled. Not to mention the botched snaps.

 

also Bozeman is a lot bigger than Elf, 6’5, 311 which means he’s going to be a force to reckon with. He is probably a way better run blocker.

So why not make the change the week before when PJ was starting against LA?

Not sure. I didn't realize that Elflein was on IR, I thought Bozeman just got promoted. 

I obviously have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, but I could see Wilkes, a defensive guy, not wanting to mess around with a O-line that was playing well together going into last week. And Elf hasn't been bad, just kinda blah.

How did the autocorrect let that through??

 

Either way, Brady will need to be a future upgrade. He will be a good backup in the future but he is not suited to being a power blocking OL. 

Cade Mays could probably leap him, I think he was at RG mostly in preseason but he played everywhere in college

Mays seems like he is suited to be a potential as a starter or at least a quality backup. I hope so, anyway. 

Still need to invest a couple of picks on the OL this offseason again. Build some exceptional depth.

Barring injury and provided they keep performing well as a unit, we probably won't see any changes along the line this season for the sake of continuity.

But if they were to decide to try Mays as a starter, left guard is considered the easiest position on the line to play.

100%.  Our modern Hang'man

A quality line has finally emerged in the Carolinas.  Been forever, hope they continue to trend upwards.

That just makes so many people's jobs easier.  If we can only figure out this QB and Head Coach thing...

I would almost always draft a big OL in the later rounds, maybe even 2.

I'm not real big on the PFF stuff, but for those who are...

 

I’m really glad Ickey is improving as the season progresses but I really wonder how much better our run blocking would be if we switched him to LG and moved Christensen back to his natural spot @ LT? 

Damn you, Rhule and that ridiculous debate about Christensen’s arm length!

That’s what quality teams do. OL depth is critical especially for those that  rely heavily on the run game. The OL coach from our 1st SB run said you should draft at least one OL every offseason but we got away from that over the years. Good to see this become a priority again.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
