Don't understand what the plan is with the OL anymore, but we have no shortage of warm bodies, that's for sure.



sounds like every position is settled (who starts) except the rt spot.

To sign as many players w/o contracts as cheap as we can and let Buges sort it out.

Portis said that for the OL we are searching for one or two diamonds in the rough. Apparently the plan is to polish many stones, looking for one to be that diamond. Given that many of these "warm bodies" can play tackle, the RT problem MAY have been solved. It seems that we have many RG fill-ins, anyway, should Thomas get hurt/still be hurt.

September is also a long time away and more obvious FA prospects may arise before then. The optimist in me recognizes that the FO is at least trying to fix the right side of the line rather than just sitting on their hands.

Every team has a weakness/weak link somewhere. Our most glaring weak link right now appears to be OL, RT being the biggest question mark. But look we do have 2 guys on our team that have started for us, plus a few others with starts in multiple years for other teams. I believe that on paper this is our most complete team in years and if none of these new additions work out, we should still have enough cap room to sign someone else should anyone be waived soon. So I have NO problem at all with the signings of, Williams, Bridges, Kelly, Hackett, etc. to add depth and compete for a roster spot. Keep bringing in guys until we find that diamond Clinton is looking for. But damn Clinton, just look in the mirror, you normally have a few huge ones in those ears!

As long as he's focused on football this could be a good pickup, but right now this is no more than a depth signing. He has some RT experience, but right now I see him as the backup to Thomas at RG in case Thomas gets hurt.

Make sure you guys remember I said this week 1 Jeremy Bridges will be the starting RT, Heyer will be backing up at RT & LT, Jansen will be back up RT & C

Maybe you're looking for something that isn't there. Without Dock falling into their laps do you really think the FO would have signed any real OL talent this off-season?

Could this be the answer at RT we re looking for??

I doubt it.. Williams will probably be if He can get into shape.. The guy is hella-strong, with good lateral movement. We need bridges just in case Thomas goes down or to just plug a hole though.
