Exactly.

He should have gone to a powerhouse like Mississippi Valley State like Jerry Rice did.

Or Miami of Ohio like Ben Rothlesberger.

Or Southern Miss like Brett Favre

Or Alcorn State like Steve McNair

Or Texas Southern like Michael Strahan

Or Buffalo like Khalil Mack

Or Louisiana Tech like Willie Roaf

Or Jackson State like Walter Payton

lol I had something similar already typed up.  Such a poor argument.  Moton might be our best OL (he is the captain) and he is from the smallest school out of all of the starters.

for sure, in those 3 key OL backups are 2 2023 UDFAs.....both are DII as well.....holy god thats scary.

YGM must be playing DE, even then what in the wide world of sports is going on there?!?!

Fitts got to claim a Ol and DL, wavie a TE and WR Wright.

Seems awful scary, yea colbert is back in what 3-4 games, until then they...well both lines need full praying non-stop.

Id didnt see this happening, cannot be done. NFL games are still won in the trenches. No depth/raw is a death sentence. 

BC will slide to LT if Icky goes down (or possibly RT for Moton).  Cade Mayes can come in pretty much any position on the OL if needed as well.  It's concerning but it's not as bad as it looks on paper.

Id didnt have 8 on the 53 with two of them being UDFAs form DII, thats wild no matter the spin brother. DL is one giant ? too. I need my meds for this, too heavy

The DL is a BIG ? I agree.  Brown, Tuttle, and Williams are all solid but we need some depth ASAP.  I am going to wait and see how all the chips fall first.  If a decent vet OL is available or gets cut (doubtful) then we might drop of those UDFA.   Would you really feel better if Jordan and Erving were there instead of those rookies?  We KNOW they are hot garbage.

Im sorta surprised at erv, not at all at MJ(very bad). 3 of those 8 are rookies.....bro thats not what you want. Did I mention the other 2 are UDFAs form DII schools and one is 280 LT.... Thats one hell of risk taken, campy better work his magic.

I thought the team had better line depth than this...

The so called depth got outplayed by the two DII UDFA's. Plain and simple.  Ice up son.

He is 6'5" 289 BC is 6'6" 300.  The size is capable for a NFL tackle.  I'd rather have 2 UDFA rookies on the OL for depth that Campen has signed off on and preferred over 2 terrible vets.  It's still very fluid anyway.  Just relax and let them handle business.

I feel like if you have undrafted guys anywhere, offensive line I’m least worried about. 
 

So much if it is about the unit as a whole and not the individual. It’s mostly technique and communication.

 

Take Erving. He was a 1st rounder I believe? He had good feet and prototype tackle size/length. But at 31 he still couldn’t take advantage of his physical tools, played off balance, too high, no leverage. 
 

Sometimes if you get a guy young before those bad habits solidify, it’s the better direction to go.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
