8-5-13 Training Camp

something tells me, after the chicago game, Gettlemans eyes will open and will see the glaring need on OL.

One can only hope.

Its possible he is waiting on cuts.

I have to assume he's waiting on cuts and/or for Wharton to get his head out of his ass and accept a one-year vet min deal.

If you don't know who Zordich is, lookup his highlight video on YouTube.

It's a great video, especially for a full back.

Some guy named Folkerts getting first team reps?

Brian Folkerts, getting first team reps on the left side because Silatolu is out.

Byers and Folkerts are the top two LG's today and Williams and Hicks are the top RG's today.

Why are we refusing to add offensive line players when it's clearly such a weakness?

 

We're scrambling just to have enough bodies there, much less a full 5 starter set we're fully confident in.

assuming that kugbilla and silatolu are back this weak in the next couple days, i'm guessing that they want to hold off for two things.

 

1) to see what they look like against the bears DL. it's a game that doesn't count and it will be telling just where we are. i don't think there's a better situation to find out what's what with the OL.

 

2) waiting for first round of cuts. better chances of getting the one we need at that point than now.

*goes to game-by-game thread to revise 10-6 prediction to 6-10*

 

We are fuged if those guys (minus Williams, tho I'm still leary of him starting) get significant time this season.

Team drills. Klein Blackburn and Kuechly at LB. Byers at LG and G Williams at RG

We didn't sign Dwan Edwards until September 2nd.

Maybe we don't but as of this moment, there is still a chance we do bring in a "high profile" OL to compete.

Today's a rough day...

On a usual (healthy) day it would be Silatolu and Byers at left and Williams and Kugbila at right.

While that is a step up, it's still not good.

We've got another B. Williams sighting:

Good catch and throw from DA to B Williams on corner route. Dockery on coverage. Williams held on going to ground

Brandon Williams continuing to impress.

He's having a hell of a camp.

Because with his years of experience in the NFL and his involvement in training camp thus far, he has just been blind and oblivious that our OLine is weak?  Is that really what you are implying?

 

If you sign someone now, you are picking from a pool of guys that nobody wants.  If you wait 2-3 weeks you are selecting from the guys that are actually on training camp rosters, practicing, and fighting for roster spots...

 

If Gettleman brought someone in to save our O-Line today... I would question that there would be better players available later on in camp once other team's make cuts.  A hasty decision would be more closed minded than waiting.  Especially when you can't afford to end up with a non-productive player.

Pre-season is gonna be huge for him. A good showing, or at least consistent improvement and he's looking like a guy making a serious push to find himself on the final 53
