Best Guard Duo in Football?

We were bitten before recently by Corbett, I’m gonna wait to see how it plays out with these 2 guys. Also still need a center

Corbett was the best player on the OL in 2022 once he came off the PUP list.

Injuries hurt him again in 2023.    

 

So yea, the injury bug has hurt us but he was (maybe is?) a real good OL.  He just cannot be counted on without a solid backup plan

BTW I don’t think I have ever seen such horrible Guard play as there was on the field last year. At the same time, the QB’s skills and timing were totally non existent. Slovenly drop back pace, unlike any other QB really ever seen.

No wonder Reich blew a circuit board out trying to work around that. Or Brown rather. What a poo plan.

But I digress. If you were going to rush the passer vs the Panthers you could literally stand around and see who the OL went to engage with, and then go chase the QB you will have a free run. Not even a stunt. Just delay a little and let them get busy. If you do a stunt you are IN. They apparently think everyone has to run straight ahead no tricks. It’s easy.

Honestly, with a pro-quality offensive line, we might actually get what was advertised with Miles Sanders. As the video points out, Raheem Mostert was all world behind Hunt being himself arguably a mid-level RB.

Sanders just never had any gaps to run through. Hubbard stubbornly found yardage, and I'm excited to see how Mrs. Rhule's favorite does behind this line when he has actual lanes to pick through. But Sanders is just a season removed from being one of the league's leaders in all-purpose yards. Behind the line we are building, this could be his bounce-back season.

I really liked the Sanders pick up last year as a CMC-lite type move. I also watched a video about how Canales likes to use receiving backs out of the back field. 

Its only good for us if Sanders earns his way into that starting role.

    • Bain is a beast. I won't deny it. I mentioned it in another thread, but one of Mesidor's sacks was only because Bain shoved Mesidor's body at the quarterback like he was bowling with him. I have never seen anything like it. I hate that the Bucs drafted him. That being said, Bain has to be perfect in order to compete week to week. He plays a high contact position in a game where the most athletic and lengthy have the advantage. I think he will still be a force, but his impact can be minimalized with right blockers and schemes. Freeling has the opposite problem. He's a long limbed, athletic puppy. He has ALL of the advantages physically. He just needs to add strength to his body and improve his technique. In two seasons, Freeling could end up being regarded as one of the best LTs, if not THE best in the game. That's where his potential is. Both have the potential to boom, but Bain has the higher probability to bust. Just looking at it logically.
    • Again, KB did nothing wrong. The play was reversed after it was obvious that KB touched him when he was down. The video shows a ref 5 feet away who should have stopped the play. KB knew he already hit him while the CB was down. I watched that play and I saw he was down and knew we’d win the challenge. Just like when the ref told Cam he doesn’t get those calls yet, it did make me wonder if the ref swallowed the whistle since interception returns are a play where QBs can take a big hit. That was right around the “player safety” increase. Cam got hurt because the ref didn’t call the play dead even when it was ridiculously obvious the CB was touched down and the quick review and reversal showed that.
