God forbid that J. Gross tests the F.A. Market and leaves. I don't think we will just let Peppers leave. He will get the Tag Regardless of what J. Gross. Hopefully we don't find out.

I know that Frank Omiyale only started one game but he did play in a total of 10 games for us. The one game he started he did OK. Granted he is not the Caliber that Gross is but he could step in. So if we lose J. Gross. Frank stays.

I also think that push comes to shove Wharton moves back to LT and we fill the interior with someone else. I am sure we will.

Frank did well when he was on the field. I bet the FO has plans to offer him a new contract however I bet they wait until after midnight on the first day of free agency in order to have more cap space at that point in time.

Or cut those already targeted and sign him as soon as they do. I don't see us letting both walk though.

Wharton will stay at guard and Omiyale or Bridges will play RT with Otah moving to left...at least that's how they will start camp. They traded a first rounder for Otah because they think he's a franchise LT. If it goes south, the tackles will swap...but I don't see that happening.

Not saying you are wrong at all because it could happen, but I am not sure that is likely because I recall their saying during the year that Omiyale needed to be playing only @ LT. I admit that puzzled me because theoretically a LT should be able to swap to RT with some prep, though I realize that some are far better on one side than they are on the other. I agree about Wharton needing to stay @ guard though. I don't think he's as bad as some seem to think as a LT, but he is a better guard.

You could be right about Omiyale...he's a tad light for a RT and possibly not as strong as he needs to be, though that can be changed if he has the work ethic ;)

I don't remember much drop off when he started at LT that one game. And throughout the times he has come in, the line still played well with each other. I would hope we keep him as a back up LT... (Behind Gross, meaning we get him signed, and let Otah stay on the right)

From what I have read it would appear that is has all the skills necessary for a left tackle. He is athletic, has good feet, and good balance. He has decent strength and really just lacks playing time. When he was with Atlantic folks said he had a nasty streak in practice. Should fit right in with the other guys. At 6 4 and 310, he seems the right weight for the position.

Wharton would move to LT, and Otah stays at RT where he's suited. There's no doubts about this. You don't let Gross walk for Frank Omiyale. Omiyale's a good backup, but you don't make that move.

You could, of course, re-sign Hangartner for the LG spot, but I'd like someone who generates more push. There's a pretty big difference between Kalil and Hangartner in push (and no, you don't move Kalil over).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
