I think he's definitely not the player he was a couple years ago, and if we can restructure to lessen the cap hit that'd be the best move IMHO. He's still a leader in the lockerroom and our chances of getting an immediate replacement in the draft are pretty slim.

Yes it is. Gross is on the down side of his career and it would benefit him tremendously to slide him to the RT position and draft a stud LT.

Is that really doable? I know he started on the right side but to me that is a natural switch. Guys comes from college with a lot of raw power but lacking of techniques. So the run block heavy right side is a fit. Once techniques are polished you are move to the left. Now as he is ageing so starting to lack in power but survives on techniques.

He just does not seems like a fit for the right side at this point.

Don't know if anyone posted this, but here is an idea of how bad our O-Line has played this year, as a whole, Gross definately included.

When running over the LT(Gross), we are the worst team in the NFL. We are 26th in pass protection, a lot of that would end up falling on Gross. Also 31st in overall run blocking for the entire line. There are a lot of problems with this line, and Gross is definately one of them. You can't just hold on to the past and loyalties without seeing the current situation, thats John Fox mentality and where has that gotten us?

" but I saw some youtube highlights of the Kansas City game and he looked good!!!1 "

That an interesting set of statistics, but part of me thinks that a lot is lost in their calculations rather than just looking at the raw data.

Running outside Gross between the TE has yielded and average of 3.1 yards per carry, running between Gross and Amini has yielded 4.6 yards per carry. If you think that is down to Amini, then you need to consider that between him and Kalil/Hangartner they have averaged just 2.0 yards per carry. Those two averages either side of Gross combined are by far the best on our OLine.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By frankw · Posted

      I think the Bevell hire has more to do with adding actual veteran head coaching experience to the staff than anything else. But I do wholeheartedly agree that the obsession in general with Seattle needs to come to an end. I mean we plucked the one guy there to be our GM who turned out to be our worst GM in franchise history in just a few short years and that's really saying something given our history there. Clearly trying to mimick Seattle in any way has not been productive. As far as Idzik many of us have asked the same question but at this point in time it doesn't really matter anymore because Canales is either going to lead this franchise to a winning record or he will be shown the door.

      By strato · Posted

      That’s why Bevell is a good move. Idzik might not be chopped liver, he is just inexperienced and even less ready to be the play caller than Canales. I still say the playbook is limited which is a hinderance to calling plays, I would imagine.    Anyway Beavis lol… no Bevell, got to consecutive SBs as an OC and won one with 48 points or something. Should have won the second one. And had several more good years there.    They were the team we had to learn how to beat it took us til the third year I think before we could go into Seattle and successfully compete.   That is glass half full thinking, yep, but that is head and shoulders over what we have had here for a while. Certainly now.     In addition.. It was Canales’ boss. He knew more then , I would bet he knows more now. I can’t look at this as anything but a potential positive thing.  Hell he might be the guy that can look at Dave and say what the fug are you doing? And Dave will listen. I think I can hope for that.  Maybe not.
