Tell you're wife not everyone can be Hines Ward.....better yet...stop dancing with her all together....that will learn her.

'Your'.

And I'm too young and trim for that insult to make sense. But thanks for trying.

To be an improvement as a backup RT, all he has to be is:

1. Better at run blocking than Garry Williams.

2. Better at right edge pass protection than Geoff Schwartz.

Not that tough of an assignment.

Not worried about the run blocking, and for as slew-footed, slow and fat as he is, he looked a lot better in games than he did in his pajamas. As an added bonus, he defintely qualifies as an Ugly. Could be moved to guard if he doesn't work out at RT, but there certainly wasn't anything better available as a backup RT for a compensatory pick in the 7th.

And BTW, Hurney said in the day 3 presser, "he's a tackle", even though all the draft pundits say "he's got to move inside". I think backup RT is where they start him off. Competition for RG is already very crowded with Schwartz (eventual starter IMO), Bernadeau (eventual interior swingman IMO) and Robinson (last opportunity to show what he can do). Both our OL draft picks will be asked to learn RG/LG eventually, but I think Williams and Ziemba are penciled in at backup C and backup RT respectively when camp opens.

Most accurate post, IMO. Ziemba was a damn good player. Screw the combine and workouts. He can play football. I can safely say, after watching him play for 4 years, he is a hell of a pick up. He will be fine with us. Gonna be sweet!

Cam made his guys look good. I doubt this guy will amount to much but then again, if Cam is QB, it won't matter. :)

Other than Fairley and Cam, I didn't want Auburn players.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Ziemba was a freshman first team AA, and a two time All SEC second team selection before Cam ever set foot on campus. Plenty of talent there. Whether he pans out or not at the next level who knows, but this guy was an excellent tackle for four years.

I know from watching the games.

Having a QB who not only can't be tackled, but can't be caught, makes any lineman look good. When the chips are down and you have less to work with, that's when you know how good a player is. He hasn't had that to overcome. Also, if it had not been for Cam, Aub running game would have been garbagio.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
