We need a right guard


SCP

Recommended Posts

Either through the draft or free agency. Bernadeau blows. I don't want Schwartz as my long term answer. Who knows about Duke Robinson.

We need a right guard.

Just had to get that off my chest. Now I'm going to go poop.

You need to remember that Schwartz was at RT for OTAs, training camp, and half of the season. He was learning at RG, and made some huge steps--he was a major reason the line started playing better.

Is he the answer? I dunno. But i agree with Rock--we should draft a project LT to develop behind Gross and we should draft a backup center who can compete at RG. The reason for the center? We cannot franchise Kalil and he will be hard to re-sign.

I am optimistic that a healthy OLIne is gonna be vastly improved. That said i would love to draft a upgrade at Guard period. Left or Right. With the other needs we have

DTx2, young number 1 WR, and cornerback and the limited draft resources i can not justify drafting one or even using FA money to get a replacement for Schwartz. ALSO who does know about Ol Uncle Smoky's nephew. Hopefully Duke can bring it all together. I know he was highly thought of predraft. I mean have you not noticed how Foxes distrust of rookies has buried talent elsewhere.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
