RT and OL thread

Start Game 1? I'd be surprised

Who starts first out of the rookies?

Id lean towards Long.

OL only? Yeah I'd agree

No, Were you going Seastrunk?

Outside of OL, I would say Breeland, depending on what you mean by start.

you thinking the slot? I really think we'd be in trouble if thats the case.

I was thinking about putting Rak on the line, hand in dirt and putting Murphy over him.

It kinda amazes me that after all this clamoring for OL, over 60% of the board thinks that Neither will start week one, or that no rookie will have an impact for us in their rookie season.

I was one of the many clamoring for O-line, and we took two relatively high. So I'm happy now, regardless of whether or not they're Day 1 starters. Our O-line, with those two draft picks and the additions of Lavuao and McGlynn, is much better. But if Moses starts sometime during the season it wouldn't surprise me, and I do expect Long to start at some point. But even if neither are Day 1 starters, they'll still have an impact as depth. I don't want to put either one out there if they're not ready.

If neither Moses nor Long look like the best options at RG and RT, do you still want to have them start? Wouldn't that be change just for the sake of change? Except worse, because it would be an inexperienced rookie you'd be throwing to the dogs.

I dont think we would have taken them relatively high if we didnt think they could make an impact year one

Fair enough.

The added depth and maybe a few starts by either Moses or Long near the end of the season is enough impact for me.

Murphy is definitely going to have the chance to make an impact right away.

Well I mean a guy like Murphy for example won't start but should get a lot of playing time. Here's how I see it

Murphy-Significant playing time, won't start barring injury

Moses-Lots of game day inactives

Long-Could start toward the back end of the season

Breeland-Practice squad

Seastrunk-Some early inactives, but I think he'll make a push for playing time toward the 2nd half. Knocks Thompson off roster

Grant-Has the potential to make Roberts look like a complete waste of a FA signing

Holser-Cut

Hocker-All he has to do is make the team and he starts, and I think he's got a great shot
