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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
