It's pretty amazing that once we have fairly solid LT play that people suddenly forget the years of turnstiles at LT in the post-Gross era. As someone said earlier, why on earth would we be creating a new roster crisis that needs investment when we have so many of those already?

And this goes for the crowd that wants to get rid of Moton too. WTF is wrong with you people?

It all depends on the asking price. If he wants to be paid like a top 5 LT, you have to be prepared to let him walk or tag n trade. I don't want to get rid of him, but I also don't want to pay him like an elite pass blocking LT when he is not.

This poo is hilarious to me. How about we worry about the fact that we don’t have an actual center on this roster which happens to be one of the most important positions on the line.

Imagine plugging Ryan Kalil into this offensive line. It would instantly be one of the best in the NFL. 

To answer the question yes you pick up Ickey’s option and immediately start trying to extend him before the price skyrockets. Don’t want to run into another Brian Burns situation. (Thanks Fitterer you dumb fug)

Yeah, a legit 10+ center prospect makes this team have a strength at OL for many years.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
