  • - You're not getting Trent Williams for a 3rd.   Drafting a middle round replacement to coach up at RT, or even investing a high pick in a RT, then abruptly switch to LT is also a bad move.   The kinetics and footwork are no longer 2nd nature by switching sides.  Sounds stupid, but it isn't.  Ask a good lineman.

    - I would like to see Schob re-signed.  I think you'll see more action on that front when we announce who the next DC is.   But I'm also a proponent of smart money.  I like Joe, but he ain't Patrick Willis money.

    - I would also like to see Randall resigned.  Many here don't seem to remember what liabilities we had back there for so long.  If DM is looking for top 10 money, then sure... he can walk.  But if a reasonable contract can be struck, it would be in our best interests to keep him around.   He quietly had a good season under Williams.   Under Wilks?  Well my thoughts on our departed DC can be found in many threads.

    - As for the name next to Randall and who we might target in the draft.  If OT is gone, there is another name I liked during this season who is going to be a day 2ish kind of guy - Winfield Jr.

  • I see outside linebacker as a bigger concern, if I’m being honest. Our line played a median level all year and were asked to hold long ass blocks for down field throws. I agree with others that a game more conducive to bakers skill set? This line after week 5 (when 1/2 were injured) is easily a top 10 unit.

    im fine with them drafting/targeting a tackle (either side) to shore things up though.

  • I can see drafting a very good LT that falls to us in the second round, simmons (still hoping) in the first.

    Robinson could maybe switch to RT? and draft a development LT/RT later on.

  • My early draft board ain't changed..sure it may but.

    My fingers are crossed OT Tristian Wirfs can't refuse top 15 money...Wirfs the size of a steeler lineman stuck in a Iowa unie..A Fix at our messy OL ya can put at any 3 positions for years...

    Than along came this guy, who has declared... 2nd Rounder, day 2? that maybe another hope ?   

    burst/ballhawk/takes good tacking angles...than tackles..95 of them to lead Bama in 2019

    You are one gutless wonder  if all you got to contribute is to gripe about the Threads that other people begin.  

    I assume by your statement that you apparently believe that  OL is not the #1 priority.   Then why don't you defend that view instead of acting like a big whiny crybaby because someone had an idea that may have been at variance with yours.   

    Or start your own threads...if you have the balls or the brains to,  which perhaps you fall short in either account.

    The offensive line is #1 priority. Followed by defensive line, and then safety. Redwine may be a starter next year, but next to who? 

    For the offensive line, I would imagine an upgrade at the LT position and have a strong competition for the RT spot.. also maybe use refs that throw flags in training camp?

    Let’s correct something Redwine next to who.

    No way should we roll into camp with Redwine as a starter.  That would become an immediate issue.  
     

    we need two new starters there.  And essentially a QB for the defense.  It’s a HIGH need

    We don't have to worry about that. I'm pretty sure Joe Mixon is still scraping Redwine off the bottom of his shoe, so we're good.

  • Still old school on this.  You address needs in FA.  At least early in the draft you go BPA unless it makes no sense at all.  We may not want to draft a QB as an example, but then again, Baker didn't play all that well.  No doubt he got a bit chubby and possibly his head got fat.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    No doubt about it and we had a few others that are still in the sod at Heinz Field, Arizona and Cincy too.  
     

    i think we are much closer on offense IF Baker improves and Hubbard is out of that RT spot.  

    we have way too many concerns on the other side of the ball

    what do you all think about the Garrett situation does the NFL wrap this thing into next season as well?

    Oh yeah. I think it'll be put to rest early because the NFL wants it in the past and they don't want further negative exposure. I know I gave Myles a hard time, mainly because of the lack of "game changing" plays, but obviously he's freaking amazing and we felt his absence like a mofo. He's so good, and I can't wait to get him back. Man....this year really was a cluster taco, huh?
