RI: Jeremy Bridges agrees to terms

Bridges is better than at least 3 of the O-lineman on our roster. All I'm saying.

No doubt about this. In fact you could say he's better than two of our starters (all season long) considering Heyer as been at RT and RG has been a carousel of a compromised Thomas, then Rinehart, Montgomery, Williams (anybody I forgot?).

I'm willing to give our FO credit where credit is actually do.

Good decisions:
*Drafting the trio of Malcom, Devin and Fred last season. Seemed weird at the time but it was good, good stuff.
*Signing Al.
*Signing Hall.

Bad decisions: Everything else, literally. But the decision-making on the OL specifically should be enough to get the FO "fired" in most franchises. What a sh*tshow. Like others have said Heyer should be practice team fodder.

I was shocked when they cut him. They said it was his poor play, but I saw alot of other players playing alot worse.

Im still thinking we need at least 2 new starters on the Oline next year...one tackle and RG. I think Heyer and Levi Jones battle it out for the other Tackle position. Mike Williams is good depth as well as Reinhart...dont really think they are starters in this league...cutting Bridges was a mistake by the team and would have been substantial help what we faced early in the season, but that is what we do here, so really no surprise...

Mike Williams has been a pleasant surprise at guard. I actually think he could be better next year if he continues to keep his weight down & work out in the offseason.

Would I like to see a young Steve Hutchinson type in his place? Of course, but if they don't get a guard & plan to use MW in the meantime, I think that would be alright.

I wish we had kept Bridges myself, but the coaching staff felt guys like Batisted and Heyer had more long-term upside. Not a move I agree with. Bridges is a proven starting G/T. He's had more good games than bad in his career and more good than Heyer. N

With the state of our line the long-term upside decision was retarded. We didn't need long term upside. We neeed guys who play football now.

I am not sure on Bridges. I saw him last night getting into the face of Hightower after he fumbled. It didn't look like a "positive" chewing out, but a very aggressive one. Reminded me of his past issues. Not really saying it is the only factor, but something about that interaction looked way off to me. So I wonder if there was more than just ability at issue when he was here.

On the other hand, he certainly has ability, and it's a fair question about cutting him, when our OL was shaky to begin with.

yeah, after he got in Hightower's face he then got beat for 3 sacks by Amhad Brooks, 2 of which were fumbles. At least Bridges recovered one of the fumbles.

I agree, Williams actually has been a surprise at guard which is cool, but at tackle he was getting his ass handed to him. I most def see value with him as depth on the line...so if he can push a starter for playing time next season could be a plus

a little off topic...but what happened to Will Montgomery? Is he even on the team anymore?

Starter to disappearing act.

Not exactly positive about this but I believe his assignment is to be the first guy off the field to get to the locker room door so he can hold it open for everyone else...
