So the OL is now officially set (According to MacDonald)

[RehireMora]

What the hell are you talking about? And do you have any evidence that JS is an alcoholic? That's a pretty strong label to be throwing around.

That's fair, I don't know if he is an alcoholic but he has shown up to multiple interviews drunk.

The interview where JS kept holding on to Wyman and pleading for him not to talk about the OL was an awkward watch.

I didn't think there was much chance Bradford made the roster much less started. It appears he has put it together physically and mentally. Having Abe with a full training camp is fantastic. I believe the scheme is going to be O Line friendly. We have some solid backups. I am a little concerned about our Tackle depth. If a tackle gets hurt I feel like our best bet might be to kick Zabel outside and fill in one of our backup guards.

Bradford's refocus on conditioning and commitment appears to resulted in a 180 degree change in career direction. I think playing between a couple of mobile and athletic linemen in Lucas and Sundell helps him a lot. Both can also help him with film study and the all important art of memory mapping which is rarely, if ever, mentioned by fans.

Love the two back offense ...... multiple tight ends ...... well rounded wide receivers with blocking skills.

Josh Jones looks to be a good veteran insurance signing. We likely won't have to find out.

Run the football !!!!!!!!!!!!

Saddest joke/truth you will ever hear...the pain is real when you have waited all year for this!

Q: What do you get when your team's GM is an alcoholic?

A: Zero combined Pro Bowls for the entire 11 offensive linemen

Don't blame Darnold if he doesn't have a great year, this is all on JS!

You are why doves cry

This is the least bad I've felt about our opening day OL in a while. Bradford and injuries are a big worry, and Sundell has a lot to prove. Hopefully the OL moves up at least 5 spots from last year.

I'm just ready to see it in action already. LFG!

I am past it, but he has shown up drunk a time or 2.

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

None of our starting OL have "NO" in their name. How are we supposed to work with that if they're bad?

I know I might be seeing things with blue/green tinted glasses but I get annoyed at previews that say our line 'looks weak on paper". To me it's a lazy narrative just based on last season's results. 3/5 of the line are actually high picks (2 firsts and a third). I don't think a healthy Lucas is being given enough attention and think anyone who says that hasn't watched Zabel highlights from the pre-season. Throw in an improved Bradford and better scheme and coaching.

Depth is probably the biggest concern but I doubt the Hawks are alone there.

 

[toffee]

Maybe RehireMora was a bit....tipsy...when he posted that?

(probably not true but it's a funny thought because N.E.T. ENTERTAINMENT!)

I thought that you were referring to me

Unless RehireMora is a burner account....then nope. lol

Nice to see someone with a realistic hope of how our line might perform. I’d be very happy with a 5 spot improvement.

Considering how bad it was last year (from what I heard), there's nowhere to go but up.

 

[Trackhawk]

Depending on the source, we were ranked somewhere between 21st and 31st best line (11th worst to 2nd worst) last season.

I do think we are significantly better than last year, but many of the other bad lines are also improved.

A five point move would put us between 16th and 26th. I personally can’t see us as bad as 26th, but I would be ecstatic with landing in the 15th-16th best. I don’t think we’ve had that good of a line since Unger was traded. My guess is that we will end up in the 16-20 range.

This idea that a year of maturation, the addition of Zabel, and the change in offensive philosophy will transform us into top ten in one offseason, is a little too much for me to buy into.

5 spots? that will move them from #28 or was it #30 to something like #23-25. I respectfully disagree, this is a top 10 as floor kinda OL.

 

[Ycrew]

Still upset that we didn't draft O'Cyrus Torrence in 2023 draft.

The holding is just a matter of mannerism; some people are just friendly and passionate that way. When Schneider held on to our lovely Jody, it instantly made an impression.

You just spell it with a no, like SundellNo or BradNo. Grayno… pretty easy to get that down
