How about don't rush a very expensive player recovering from a bicep tear back?

Just get Mays healthy and Corbett is a very good OG.

This is the answer. 

My feeling is that they may have rushed Brooks back a bit last year. Hard to say without knowing and different injury types/history/age, but I'd rather have a healthy Hunt for TB or 100% for the start of 2026 vs. re-injuring himself.

Corbett at OG is as good as a rusty Rob not at 100%.

You can disagree but I would suggest looking at recent games for Curhan.

I am not expecting the world, nor should any of us, but we also shouldn't be surprised when a PS player gets abused in games.

That's a very unsuccessful strategy.

To be clear, my standards for a backup aren't gonna be the same for a starter, especially against a tough opponent.

And I'd say my most recent impression is this: Bryce had a decent amount of time to throw on a lot of plays last game.

Run push? Definitely subpar, but Bryce didn't end up taking the sh-tload of abuse I was expecting him to take.

Yep, unless we're in a win and in situation in Week 18, I don't see any reason for Hunt to come back. 

We have 4 games left, 2 against Tampa and 1 more division game. Pretty much every week is going to be huge for the playoffs. If Tampa wins while we are off, we will be 1 game back and pretty much be in must win mode all 4 games.

Zavala can only play decent if he's on the left with Ickey. From my untrained perspective Curhen is a better RG than LG.

Left guard is, per numerous football guys, the easiest position to play on the line.

If all you want is a backup left guard, okay.

If you want a Geoff Hangartner style utility guy, well...

Well versatile he's not. If he stays he will only be effective on the left it appears, if that.

I have a hard time thinking Zavala would be decent at LG when he has been straight ass at RG. He is slow off the snap, gets bull rushed easily, has terrible pass blocking footwork, and looks utterly lost as to who to block whenever the opposing Dline does a stunt.

Average-ish strength/athleticism combined with bad technique and awareness is not want I want to see from an offensive lineman...

His only decent games he had was when he played left guard last season. He's been straight up ass everywhere they put him this season.

Well the clear answer is just to get Mays healthy. Corbett isn't enough of a drop off from Hunt to risk Hunt's future with us.

The hiring of Joe Gilbert last year cannot be overstated.  Elite, what he's done with improving players and making chicken salad out of chicken poop due to injuries.

I think the part being overlooked is that they have a separate coach for the tackles and the interior oline. Its making a difference that I had dismissed as counter productive. What the hell do I know.

That is crazy.  I didn't know that.  Goodwin?  Who is coaching the tackles?  The interior?

I don't remember. It came up during training camp I think. I could have been last year. But they have 2 coaches for the oline. One for tackles and one for guards and center. I would have to look at the staff listing to get you their names but you can do that yourself.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
