Jordan Black. I'm with you on the draft picks whichever round they were drafted.

Yeah , at least Shanny can mold them young and teach them our scheme - I think Gettis is going to be a solid player - thought that when we drafted him - Iowa is like an o-line breeding ground.

Flew under my radar - I would have to agree with you on him not being a good option - if for no other reason than I never heard of him. lol - I want to call him camp fodder but if we keep dropping like flies on the line who the hell knows?

Montgomery is a backup at best and we started this guy all last year.

Montgomery was considered to be one of the leagues better centers. I remember seeing him ranked as the #16 best center in the NFL out of 32. RT is the biggest problem on this team by far.

#16 out of 32 says "exactly average" to me, not necessarily "leagues better centers", but I get your point..

As far as Davis and Toudouze -- would they have fit into the zone blocking system? I'm guessing Shanny / Allen know about all the O-linemen out there and passed on these, and I'd trust them.

I've heard that before too. But I've also heard that Montgomery is the Selvish Capers of centers in the NFL. Will Montgomery was a seventh round draft choice. He was never heralded as a good or very good center. He plays the position and that's all you can ask of him. But he's not Jeff Saturday or Mangold.

Will's definitely not a problem on our line.

I read on bleecher report that he was ranked #16..But I'll listen to this more credible sites about him than bleecher. Good finds.

PFF is very credible. They grade and rank the O-linemen every year with a bunch of formulas.


Bleacher is pretty much a tabloid, along with Florio's PFT.

This site also says Landry was one of the top safeties in the division last year.
