O-Line Depth

Figured this was worth it's own thread.  Rivera just announced Bruce Campbell is out with torn rotator, likely for the season. He wasn't great but he was our own only proven backup at Tackle.

 

Our RG position is still up in the air (likely Williams but still unknown).

 

At this point, I think we need to pickup 2-3 vet players at minimum to feel comfortable during the season.  Going to be very difficult because all teams are going to want O-line depth.

Sure, I do too.  Point is, we are are in serious need for some O-line and we may be forced to spend money we were intending to save.  Not a good position to be in.  We have lost any/all leverage we had with some of the FA prospects.

We need to pick up as many RG/RT's as we can get.

And at least someone who can pretend to be a LT. There's Gross and.... Nate Chandler now? I've been saying it for months, but if Gross misses anytime, our left side will be even more garbage than our right side. Amini isn't good enough to anchor that side.

Yeah, we need a lot of upgrades and a lot of backups. I think Gettleman saved money for just this reason.

The OL will be the downfall of this team. You are limited in how far the rest of your team can take you with no offensive line. You can't hide it. I think they can find something to improve the situation but the whole thing is a gamble.

    • One of his handful of good games... If he can ever get to a consistently high level, then he'd change minds. As it is... Meh.
    • People are also jumping to the conclusion that Darnold would have figured it out here. I very much disagree. He needed a place where he could be a backup for a while with no pressure. So all the pining over him was pointless. Highly unlikely he would do anything but continue to fail had he stayed here. The one that got away was Baker. He was not as bad as he seemed here. He was always a good player but we were a two bit, middle of the road college program grasping at straws. Had we invested the time in Baker that we have done for Bryce, history would have been quite a bit different. To what end, who knows? Doesn't matter. There are a million hindsight stories that are very unkind to this franchise. There is no one that is more significant than the other. It is what it is.
    • He’s a serviceable starter for us that doesn’t cost much. The reason he doesn’t cost much is that he has flaws, one of which appears to be catching the ball.  It would be good to have a better corner opposite JC but he’s not at the top of the list when it comes to people we need to upgrade.
