Andrew Son

That's the problem with Gary. He has only really played edge, but people are projecting him to the inside. personally, I'd like to see it before spending a high draft pick on a projection.

They couldn't be more different. Ferrell is lighting off of the snap. An elite get-off.

I don't understand this narrative.

It's easy to see who has watched the tape in this thread, and who has just looked at the stats. Watch the games, and there is really no question. Dudes a stud. For all the talk about his weight, I don't think I've ever seen him get pushed back. So powerful and quick. All with a relentless motor that never stops. We should be so lucky for Oliver to be sitting there at nine. Tremendous player that slides right in at a position of need.

I think Clay has been misused most of his career. He's a great pass rusher off the edge, and I think would have been better off on a 4-3. I'd bring him in for cheap and see if he could stay healthy, rotating in as a pass rusher.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Don't let him leave the building!

Gettlemen doesn't need no stinking Quarterback! This is a running back league!

I am all on board this hype train. This guy wasn't on my radar, but wow, just went over some all 22 of him and I'm really impressed. Watched the Falcons game. He started at LT and I didn't see him get beat once. They must have had an injury or something as he played most of the 2nd half at left guard- equally effective. Stud. This guy is a sure fire starter. What a value signing.

One of his starts was at Buffalo. Handled Shaq pretty easily, I saw at least one pancake. Shaq did beat him to the inside once. Got beat pretty bad by both Hughes and LoRax on spin moves. LoRax beat him with power for a sack on Brady. He's pretty effective at cutting guys. Don't like that he doesn't really keep his feet moving when engaged. Overall good game for Waddle. Solid player.

All had some starts. All were not starters.

I think a fair concern is going to be, once we do get the lineup sorted out, how long before they gel together? I mean we're basically starting from scratch here.

Teller is going to have to beat out Long, or Feliciano, or maybe they even move Dawkins to guard. Who knows at this point? I think you might be on to something.

Yep, and it's nice that a lot of those guys have position flexibility. This guy have no bearing on Teller, he's a tackle. Teller will be in the running for a starting spot.

This is pretty huge.

So this makes 5 free agent OL additions so far? Pretty nice overhaul. Pretty refreshing to have an obvious area of need so aggressively addressed in one off-season.

We signed La'Adrian Waddle. I'm sure that was the guy on the plane.

Can we add a simple question mark to the thread title?

My guess would be the same guy that did two years ago.

Solid player. Mostly comes off right edge for pats. Not going to beat you with speed around the edge, but has some moves and wins on stunts to the inside. Good run defender as well. Can line up inside as well.

Going over his tape from last year and I have wood. The man does not allow interior pressure. Period. Amazing asset for Josh. Only possible downside is the concussion history, hopefully not a recurring issue.

It's funny how the narrative has changed. Not too long ago, Beane was Mcdermott's hand picked puppet- and Mcdermott really ran the show. It was this big joke that we hired our coach before the GM. Well, it looks like Beane has seized control of this organization. Even without homer glasses, it looks like Beane might be a rock-star GM. Especially if he hit on Allen and can ride the coat tails of a franchise QB. Even the national media is catching on. I mean look at the contracts that he just gave out. Massively improved the team (IMO) without doing anything that could cause any financial pain down the road. Absolutely the formula for sustained success. Brandon Beane is killing it right now.

Does it make me a bad person, that my mind immediately goes to thoughts of a weakening conference opponent?

I think he mean David Fales. The guy that started against us on New Years Eve
