Gettleman talks "Hog Mollies"...

[CarolinaCoolin]

as usual i'm torn between trusting a professional and nagging fear leftover from the hurney era where professionals weren't to be trusted

I know how you feel. Getts it's worlds away from hurney. Have faith and it will be rewarded

If Chris Scott becomes a diamond in the rough, call me the wrongest person ever. G-Man knows talent, so if hes giving props to Scott. I am extremely curious.

It's not like Scott is an undrafted rookie that people looked over and we're the only ones smart enough to give him a shot. The dude has been on 6 teams now and hasn't been able to win a spot anywhere with any depth at all.

Don't piss on me, then tell me it's raining. This is just the same ol' poo that we've endured the last several years with the O-line. And, to be honest, with Rivera's ass on the line---which basically means we're gambling with team chemistry and continuity---and Cam's contract year coming up, this seems more like a roll of the dice than a formula for success.  

 

The reality will become a lot clearer when the Giants come through town.

I just dont know how gettleman can look at this Oline and be ok with it, Silatolu, williams and scott are as bad as they get, I trust that he knows what he is talking about but i have an awful feeling they are trying to spit shine a turd.

Respectfully disagree. Scott held his own better and for every mistake that Silatolu has made he has atoned by absolutely blasting someone down the field. Bell's atonement is getting bull rushed into Cam instead of letting his assignment by.

How could I have forgotten about Chris Scott? I feel silly now.

They must really look a lot better in practice than they do in preseason. I could see it to a certain extent in that in preseason the offense is experimenting with a basic game plan to evaluate certain players. But I can't see the o-line being THAT much better than they currently look. We should still pick some one up.

we'll see sunday!

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Hopefully wharton and gross still have a bit of that old magic left in the tank really hoping our oline isnt beaten like a drum on sunday

[KillerKat]

The oline will play as one once they get Cam killed and we finally sign somone worth a poo.

Personally, I think Gettlemen believes every word of this--he may not like the line, but bringing in a starting-level OL this late in the game would be foolish.  Considering the fact that there were not stud starters available, he had to factor in the fact that a late addition would throw the chemistry development back, nullifying any advantage.

 

I think we could be looking at a LT in the draft next season. 

 

The guard situation is encouraging---Silatolu, Scott, Williams--next year, maybe Kugbila is ready to go. 

 

While the line will struggle at times this season, Gmen thinks there is nothing he can really do as a "quick fix."

2014 Training Camp line battle I'm salivating over?

Linden Gaydosh vs Garth Gerhardt

Clash of the Tim Horton's Titans!

[Mr. Scot]

we have two old guys on the OL under one year deals and a few other piece meals added in.

i think we're several years away from having an OL that is consistantly good and that can come into the season already gelling.

i'm not sold at all on this OL.

I have issues with the current configuration of the line, but those issues are tempered by two things:

1) I doubt the current configuration lasts into next season (and might not even finish the current season).

2) I very much like the underlying philosophy Gettleman is laying out here.

What Gettleman wants to do is essentially find a group of five guys who work well together, and stick with them. By contrast, Hurney seemed to tinker with the line on an annual basis.

Getting a lineup in place that stays solid for five years or so sounds pretty good to me, even if it realistically may not happen till next offseason.
