We've got big trouble on the OL.

Can he still be put on the pup? My understanding was if you practiced at all during camp you couldnt be put in the pup. (Malcolm Kelly last year)

I have, for the past couple of years, been a strong advocate that we need two strong young QBs. I stand by that.

You definitely need two strong QBs when your OL is weak. I think the guys they have now will get better soon and when cut downs start and practice squads are designated, a OT or two will be brought in. I know for sure the team has guys already on their radar who are currently playing for other teams.

He hasn't practiced, so yeah

When did the RT position become so important in lieu of everything else?

Since chico's Oline Offseason Edition thread where many agreed Oline and RT in particular were issues. I think QB, WR, S, RT, CB were all positions where improvement was needed. The Cap penalty was certainly an issue, but there were certainly veteran players who were available and affordable. Ill still point to both the 3rd and 4th round where there was solid RT talent. Options were available and we got fooled again.

And we made an effort to get those guys. If we hadn't drafted LeRibeus in the 3rd people would be complaining we have no depth behind Lichtensteiger

I couldn't agree more.

But IMO Cousins is not the second young QB we need and we could have used the Cousins pick more wisely.

Never ending JB saga continues.

May not be any decision tomorrow. It's actually sounding like he may not need surgery. Question now is do you cut bait now, or maybe PUP him for the first 6 games and have him available for the back end?

I would rather young talent get the snaps. JB is a known commodity; we know he wont be healthy down the road. If consistency is key to O-Line play, he shouldnt be a part of it. Cut bait.

...and yet they handled some of the best defensive lines in the NFL?? (see JR's post)


You guys absolutely kill me. :postcop:


Hatters! :hater:

Your's and Joe's argument is a good one.

However, multiple reports from camp say that Polumbus and Smith have struggled mightily. If they have regressed, then the argument for what they did last year is moot and the RT position is a concern.

I'm with you.

I was with you 2 offseasons ago.
