Drafting a plug-in OL starter in the 2nd round. This might become less of an issue if Jartavius Martin plays well his rookie season. But this felt like more of a luxury pick, when we had needs on the OL.

They drafted 2 OL who aren't going to see the field this year, one of them may not make the team. Given the likely number of roster spots they have available, having more draft picks is not an advantage. They would have been better of trading 3rd and 4th rounders for a higher pick who could contribute. The 2 FAs were very much mid tier and one of them is being played out of his favoured position. So they really did not do much considering how the OL derailed last year.

The 2 responses below your initial one summed it up pretty well. Drafted OL that won't see the field and sub par FA signings. We don't bolster many starter quality OL on this team..... at all until they prove otherwise. IMO we are fucked on the OL and I hope they figure it out quick.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

For fucks sakes, players are already complaining to Ron about EB. How we continue to be losers folks.

This is an opportunity for Terry and Sam to call out this pussy ass behavior.

Let’s see how they handle it

I think it's a good thing...if you can't handle the work, gtfo! It's the NFL and you're getting paid a lot to play ball for a living.

Cut em. Idc who it is. Simply say “oh your pussy hurts in August? Clean out your locker we don’t need ya”. Im a little puzzled why Ron would divulge that information though.

Re: 2023 Commies training camp thread

Sounded like Ron was almost siding w/ Del Rio's style and gave a slight to EB. Ron sometimes says the dumbest crap. The nonsense about Del Rio being a HC vs EB not being one? C'mon dude.

He is here one more year. There is no way the new ownership group is going to keep him.

Nope. Not unless they win 10 or more and I don’t think Ron has it in him. EB seems to but apparently Ron, like you said, would rather ignore it. Guys come to you and complain that the OC is too tough, and you say go talk to him than throw shade at him to the press? He should have made them run laps or go home and kept it in house. Take your naps, losing seasons, and absolute obliviousness elsewhere Ron.

I'm fine with Ron telling the players to go talk to EB about it. But it is a mistake to criticize EB in public. It seems like a cheap shot because people will think that Ron did it because he is afraid of losing his job to EB.

Do not put a new leader in place to solve a long-standing problem on offense and then bad-mouth him before his new offense even plays its first game! Do not undermine EB's authority by appeasing the whiners. Before this happened I would have said to Ron:"Go talk to to EB if you think he should tone it down a bit." But - whoops! - too late for that now, Ron.

More of 'making a mountain out of a mole hill'. Not you specifically, just the story in general.

I don't see where he criticized EB. He pointed out that he and Jack have different experiences, and they handle things differently. Not exactly a revelation, and not really being critical either. I don't even think he indicated that Jack's way was "better", only that EB hasn't been a HC before, and doesn't have the experience that comes with that - yet.
