I think we'll finally be able to answer the age-old question, is having a road grader run blocker worth having a traffic cone pass blocker.

I suspect the answer is no.

I bet Martin comes in on 3rd and long passing situations. Which of course would be very Gruden-esque in tipping our play calls. But on 1st and 2nd, we ought to be using a ton of play action in order to take advantage of what should be a highly effective run game.

Also, I don't think this line will be worse than Minnesota's 2017 line, and Keenum was adept at making something out of nothing. Yes our WR's have to step up, but the fact they look to be moving on from Doctson gives me hope that the newbies will be what they look to be.

I hate Flowers but if the plan is to be a run heavy team than I guess I can see where this makes sense. Just hope Martin will be ready to go sooner rather than later.

The more I learn about Bostic, the more I like him. I wonder why he bounced around in the NFL since last few years and I remember he played well with Steelers last year. I'm glad Bostic is more than a stopgap player, this definitely will benefit our rookie defense players in long run.

I think that mistakes by Flowers will force them to bring in Martin. Sooner rather than later. He’s the future.

You know if we had made some kind of monster trade with Houston, we could have fixed the OL with one draft.

I’m more worried about the Penn / Christian tandem than Flowers / Martin.

We haven't heard anything except fantastic quotes about Bostic since we signed him.

All these hype tidbits are great, but the reality is he's been a journeyman the last few years. For all these articles we've read praising his prep, he still has to prove it on the field. We'll know shortly enough if there's a reason he's bounced around.

I wonder how AP will handle this. It didn't go well when he was in New Orleans. But glad Gruden's giving Guice the nod.

I would give Guice and CT touches in the first half...work in AP the second half as the fresh, punishing back

I am shocked to hear Guice will be starting over AP,I am happy to admit I was dead wrong about that one.Yes will be interesting to see how AP handles this

Samaje, Doctson both cut.

Guice starting over Peterson.

Are the football people making football decisions now? Dare to dream.

No shit...I think Jay is finally having less say in the personal decisions. Man, the Smallwood pick up is great insurance too for ct and Guice. The RB position is really strong.
