Vilma is a MLB, we already have a pretty damn good MLB in London Fletcher.

Alex Mack C out Cal Berkeley. He would change our OL overnight.

That's what I've heard. Value game has to work though.

Samuels, Rinehart, Mack, Thomas and Heyer as starters, Rabach can play G as a backup or switch him with Thomas. If Mack is there I would go get him.

While we might find somebody better than Kendall if we wait to hit the market, we should probably work to resign him for two years or so before he hits the market. If we're going to target Alex Mack, I hope we trade down out of the first to do so. Middle of the first, he's probably overvalued. We could use our se.....well at least Jason Taylor is under contract next year!

Rinehart and Heyer have to earn their starting roles. We can't just give them roles. I would make a play for a center in free agency, and leave the rest of the line be after releaseing Rabach. I would then make a concerted effort to put a lot of responsibility on our young guys in the offseason, and see who can handle it and earn their way into the starting lineup.

I agree. Kendall has been our only consistent O-lineman this year.

If we can trade down and get an extra pick AND get Mack, I would say that is a very good move on our part. I would be happy with that.

Kendall has arthritic knees and is a twelve year vet. Do you really expect him to play two more years?

That's the guy Ive been touting since (SMOOT or Malcolm, can't remember which) brought him up. I think he could start at center or guard right away.

I've watched all the Cal games and by buddy who goes to all the games and meets with players says, this is a can't miss sure future HOF caliber player, plus he's is an academic All-American (smart)

But for how much longer? We can't count on a guy like him year after year without seeking out his replacement -- just like we failed to do for the O-line.

I think Fletcher has a good two years left. H.B. Blades is supposed to be his eventual replacement.

Not exactly sold on H.B. Blades or McIntosh for that matter. But linebackers always look better when there's a decent line in front of them.
