Continuity on the O-Line, I must be Dreaming!

I cant remember since Fox has been here where we have had continuity on the O-Line for 2 seasons. It took 6-7 years but he finally got it. Now lets get Hangman signed and we can go into next year without worry on the O-line and we can focus on revamping the D-Line the whole offseason...

Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Vincent, Otah....What a crew!

( Vincent can be replaced with Hangman..)

how can you celebrate continuity on the line and in the same post say that vincent can be replaced? Vincent was huge in the performance of our line this year.

Took this long to get a crew together that was worth keeping!!!

Vincent played well for us, which is why I feel bad for him and his injury, as it means we'll probably have to find a replacement, or damn good insurance for him.

Unfortunately, I think you may be right about Vincent. I believe Hartwig had a similar injury and it took him a couple of seasons to get back into form.

Hartwig was never in form. He's still not any good. Maybe it was the injury, maybe not. I'm just not ready to write vincent off.

I dont know how you can compare Vincent and Hangman in terms of being locker room guy? They both arent leaders of the team, nor are they the best players on our line, they are actually probably the worst of all the starters. But i wouldnt blink if Hangartner replaced him. Ive seen for the past 2 seasons Geoff come into the game, whether at guard or center and step right in with no dropoff in production whatsoever.

I like Vincent, but he's easily the most replaceable guy on our line, especially when we might have to give some money to versatile, team player Hangartner who is a Fox kind of guy who can play multiple positions on the line. Keeping Geoff or Vincent still keeps continuity on the line...

The point is that groin injuries can take a long time to heal and longer for the player to be back to 100%. In other words, they can't count on Vincent being ready for the opener.

Reminder: This is Vincent's 2nd groin injury. I'm not writing him off, but that's why we got him so cheap to begin with. He was signed by a team and not fully ready to start during the year it took him to recover from his last one. Just sayin. Precautions need to be taken there.

Didn't we go into the year that Wharton hurt his knee with a repeat lineup? Problem was the lineup sucked donkey balls with Hartwig and Wahle IIRC. Meh, I could be wrong.

And Vincent is a much better run blocker than Hangartner. In a backup situation Hangartner usually does well becuase he uses his brains to compensate for his limited ability. IMO Vincent is starter quality, Hangartner is not. Bridges is also a much better physical blocker than Hangartner. If he would ever get his mind right, he could start, too, but judging form his repeated actions off the field, I don't think he ever will.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
