Frank Omaliyia

Does someone have some tape of his play today.

Twice he has gone in this season at LT, and twice I didn't notice it because of poor play.

This is fascinating to me, for if he is a viable Left Tackle player, our options with Jordan go from ok to very interesting.

Please advise.

Frank comes in the KC game and nary a whisper of a sack on Delhomme all game. He comes in at a moments notice and blocks some decent DEs and I did not even know he was in.

I think as a strategy....maybe Gross could be the most expendable one of our free agent trio. I am in no way saying Omaliyia is a pro bowl LT like Gross but the dropoff may not be as bad as losing Peppers and having Brayton as the other DE.

Moving Gross makes more sense because he's more versatile. Omiyale has likely only practiced at that spot.

Can't say I watched him specifically, but on memory I can't recall any specific collapses or bad plays that came from his side. The push upfield was nowhere near the same without Otah on the field, but that's to be expected.

Ask Antonio Gates and Ladanian Tomlinson how a little toe booboo affects your play.....they have not been the same since 2006.

Luckily, they are skill position players and rely more on route running and quick cuts that put greater pressure on the toe. Shouldn't be quite as hard for a big ugly. Let's just hope the 13 days off gives him some time to recover.

You still have to able to fire out, back-pedal, slide, mirror, plant and position for leverage.

They don't have to move as fast as skill players, but their toes are supporting a lot more weight.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
