1: I love the first team Oline combo of Fant, OD, Britt, Glow, GI. That is the combo I want to stick for long term stability.
2.: I wonder if other teams talk about OTA's and just say things like "I know these guys are just running around in shorts, but boy do they suck"
That means Posic was a miss in the second round though. If a second rounder can't break into this line that was historically bad then something is wrong. We either missed again in the draft or we don't have the right guys in the right spots. We can't afford to miss again with Posic. I really think he ends up starting and if not right away then shortly after the season starts.
Completely agree. If he ends up not starting as a 2nd rounder, and is purely there for depth at the weakest position group on the team, then that's an embarrassment
I think it would be equally embarrassing to any of those 5 guys if they, as 2nd year + guys can't do a better job than a 2nd round rookie. All good competition however it works out. Let the games begin!
I see what you're saying, but let's roll back the clock a bit here. Going into the draft, our biggest area of need was o line. We also had a need for defensive back depth and linebacker depth, but the o line was the biggest area of concern that was holding the team back, right?
So the team uses one of their 2nd rounders on an o linemen, the biggest need to address. His selection was pretty divided in his thread on the main forum when he was selected. He didn't allow a sack last year, and was top 5 in all measurables at the combine iirc.
So what I'm saying is because of how poorly the o line played last year (yes they were all very young) to invest that high of a pick (2nd round is high according to this teams standards imo) and he doesn't get to start at any position, then that pick is a failure. If he's supposed to be Britt's replacement at center for the future, then why not hold off until a later round for a more true center? The logic just seems flawed if that's the case.
Sorry of I went too far off topic. Whoever is at o line, we all want them to please be better than last year. Let's hope these young men are successful!
