We've got big trouble on the OL.

Speak no ill of Mr. Alexander. At 300 lbs., he would be starting at OG, DT and FB all on the same play!! (While pulling to block for himself, he would stop by the sideline to meet with the DL position coach to prep for the next defensive series).

I think he's finally sticking with defense. I did hear he is the 3rd string CB behind Wilson & Hall.

He's actually competing with Gano and Rackers

Seriously though, he has been working with the TEs

It'd be nice to see Kory get some preseason reps, but as I brought up yesterday the focus on him and Hightower is really to be ready for the regular season.

Jammal is Jammal, we'll see what the MRI says today. I've heard it's not expected to be anything serious. But at this point who can really say anymore. I think everyone knows he's on a short leash. I also think people forget we also got Niles Paul in that Saints trade.

James Lee is pretty much non-existent, which is disappointing but I don't think much was expected of him

It's natural for teams to have more WRs than OL, particularly in camp because of special teams.

The real concern, in my opinion, is Willie Smith. I'm not so concerned about his injury. I'm concerned about what caused his injury. Getting abused by Rob Jackson. He's been getting abused a lot this past week. For a guy expected to take that next step he's taken a few too many back

Yeah this is the same for me. Im wondering why it seems like hes regressing so badly. I read on HogsHeaven that he gained 20+ pounds, which strikes me as either a very good thing or a pretty bad thing. Over the summer Wiliie was either working out very hard or was just hanging out.

I think you set yourself up when you depend on UDFAs to "take the next step."

RGIII better be ready to run and run alot!

[CultBrennan59]

I don't know which position is worst now on our team, OL or DB/S

[The Goat]

Sounds like RT is a revolving door at this point and regardless of who plays it won't give Griffin consistent protection. If this "scenario" remains constant over the season and Griffin takes a pounding I sincerely hope the current regime gets run out of town ASAP.

I'm a fan first and a student of the game to a (much) lesser extent, and yet I know that protecting a rookie QB, especially a guy you want to be a superstar, is a basic necessity. How does a coaching staff and GM, remunerated to the tune of millions, not address this before July?! You can disect the decision-making and debate whether it's a matter of hubris, or unrealistic expectations, or whathaveyou, but the bottom line is this isn't how a roster should be managed by any regime, let alone by "legacy" guys.

Guys, guys, we don't need an OL, we have RGIII. His line was "terrible" at Baylor (LOL).

He was LITERALLY blocking for himself.

Ever team has holes and ever team has injuries it is how the team works around them that ultimate decides their success or lack of.

One could argue having better receivers that run good routes and get open faster thus allowing the QB to release the ball faster is a level of protection as well.

[NC_Skins]

The sky is falling guys!!


I think our OL played pretty decent the last half of last year. This is considering we had 2 of our main starters out. The only thing that is really a issue at this point is quality depth. I think we'll be better than what people are making it out to be.

Yes. This. True. Word. Preach.
