Guard depth (sweet mother of Moses)


SCP

Recommended Posts

Silatolu (LG starter) 6'4" 315lbs

Hangartner (RG starter) 6'5" 305lbs

Then we have this depth, all of which is very inexperienced.

Hayworth Hicks 6'3" 330lbs. from Iowa State (2 years NFL camp experience)

Edmund Kugbila 6'4" 325lbs. from DII Valdosta State (Rookie)

Tori Mobley 6'3" 300lbs. from DIAA Jacksonville State (Rookie)

Justin Wells 6'4" 325lbs. from CIAA St Augustine (1 year NFL camp experience)

Gary Williams 6'3" 315lbs. (5 years NFL experience who played like poo at RG last year)

Gettelman has to be looking to bring in a vet. I mean if we suffer an injury to our starters the middle of our offense is in deep poo.

Well, we talked about both our lines needing help all last year. All we had done to address the O was Kugbilla. Thats pretty much saying alright lets go get this guy and patch it up for a year with a vet. You would have to think that Gettles waited til now to bet on the market rewarding us with a cheap vet, but damn, just pick someone up.

I'm not sure what vet guards are on the bubble but the FA market is basically an empty cupboard. Cam was hit a lot last year. But if Shula is wanting to run like he says he does then vet help is a necessity unless Kugbila just flat out surprises.

There just no way a d2 guy is gonna come in and hold up. His body isnt ready, he doesnt know the playbook yet, never played with the guys before much less anything close to this level. He needs a year to adapt. What Amini did last year is nothing short of beastly and should not be expected of Kugbilla. We need a vet now.

There is no reason he couldn't play to Amini's level. I certainly don't want to rely on both of those young guys at the same time though.

And lets try to remember that the best o-lineman we have was sidelined all of last year.  Kalil is extremely important to the continuity of that line.  With Kalil back at center a second year vet at LG, Gross being more comfortable with what he's doing, not trying to help so much, and Bell being another year in, we may just be able to stick the freakishly athletic Kugbilla in and do well.

    • lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
    • Just wear another jersey and have AI photoshop it lol
    • His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
