OL can play at a high level until they are 34-35 or more.  Moton has been solid.  I extend him.  Shaq?  He has a small frame--playing inside is taking its toll.  He is never going to be above average--the draft is pretty deep at ILB.

Thats really not true.  You have your anomalys for sure but for the most part tackles/lineman in are in their mid 20's. 

Only 35 active offensive linemen are over the age of 30, making up just 11% of players at the position.

Yeah, and he both deserves it and has the ability to be worth it. Offensive linemen can still be functional and good well into their 30s.

I think we need to draft a young OT and C, later in the draft.   I like the Guards we have and I like the depth.  Frankly, I would like to see more of what Mays and BC can do at C--problem is, when Ickey needs a deal in 2 years, we'd have a ton of cap space on the OL--maybe that is when you release a veteran like Moton--depending on his play--but you will have to give up something.  The Fish did not want to lose Hunt, but they had to pay others.  I think the depth should be players on first contracts if you are going to pay the starters big bucks.  Not ideal, but what is?

Can't argue with you much on this. I've been banging the drum for years now that we need to take a center in the draft, and I have said grab the best one available, first or second rounds. I know, they say you never take them in the first, but the best O-lines in the league generally have a guy they grabbed there or the second. I'm not sold that we can't do better at center than we have now, although things have been better.

And yeah, I see about two more years for Moton after this one and Icky will be looking for money. Icky still needs to improve, though. He's getting better with good guard help and experience, but he's still not in the top half of the LTs starting in the league.

      I am not really willing to cut XL slack on the trajectory of the pass. In fact for a likely 50/50 result Bryce’s rainbows seem like they would be easier to come down with. I am picturing Russell Wilson’s punts that he was so lucky with so often.  That is what I pictured it looking like with him and Bryce.    You don’t have to be that close to the OB for that to work though. Which Bryce seems to not execute, he is often right on that line or over it.    Seems like it couldn’t be that damned hard to make your angle a little less severe when throwing a deeper ball to the outside. But it has been.    As to XL, I never had it out for him but I have eyes. He deserves to be demoted.

      You have to work for davis and your best player on defense wants out. You're also very clearly the worst team in the best division in the afc

      My first reaction is the mental image of a Cam fastball which surely would make it more difficult. Vs a Bryce cream puff toss. I do think in that situation Bryce’s ball is easier to handle if it is not perfect.  I don’t see the need to die on the it bad pass good pass hill, but do not think Bryce threw him a gimme, at the least.
