I remember a lot of people wanting Oweh that year and being disappointed that we picked Rousseau. I really liked Javonte Williams and Asante Samuel. And I believe the rumors were that we were going to choose Eric Stokes who the Packers grabbed. How is Stokes doing ?

Brown still has that baby deer thing going on. He is so long and athletic, it is easy to get out of whack in terms of chain and technique. I think at the very least he becomes a Mike McGlinchey type. But these long athletic guys just take longer sometimes because they have to be very sound to generate power and leverage.

Man Colin Brown is up there with worst offensive linemen I have ever seen play. And we have cycled through some epically terrible linemen.

I think he has been okay, but as a second round pick this is year 4, so he is a UFA at the end. They have not offered him an extension. He is their Harrison Phillips. Beloved by the fans, does a ton of work in the community, great teammate, but the production is up and down.

I agree with this. It is way easier to find a guard and Bates has tremendous center traits.

Not sure getting Teller back is doable, but I do think the Browns will cut or trade Joel Bitonio. They will be up against it and Jack Conklin is a free agent. Bitonio is the perfect fit at left guard in this offense. Super athletic with a mean streak.

Yeah I mean he's a body, but I don't think he can play anymore. I am all for a good redemption story, but his speed and short area quickness is gone. The definition of a JAG at this point.

Well we just passed on the generational talent in Linderbaum. Imo, I don't think there is a first round center in the 2023 class. A few interesting bodies in free agency though.

I wish we had CMC, but a part of me feels good that he didn't come here because we would not have used him. There are so many cool things you can do with guys like Cook and Hines and we aren't doing them. Watching CMC running inside zone stuck in the backfield in such a conventional way would truly hurt my football soul.

Yep totally not his fault. It's one of those what could have been scenarios. It's a weird spot to place blame since Beane was not around yet. At the end of the day, the player didn't live up to his draft spot and that is his fault.

Elam is already better than Jackson will ever be. He needs to play more to feel the flow of the game. I never liked the idea of rotating corners. There is too much of a chess game happening out there. Let him play and grow.

Yeah I will always hate him since he isn't Dalvin Cook, Cooper Kupp, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, Chris Godwin. But good for him.

Honestly, the 2 seed winds up maybe playing the Dolphins and or the Chargers. Honestly i would prefer not to play the Dolphins a third time. Additionally, Herbert can be dominant, and their defense can be as well. If you can avoid that first round, that would be ideal. Obviously, home field is huge as well.

Felciano is terrible. So bad

I am hoping for Steve Wilks when Carolina inevitably screws up and decides to hire someone else and someone hires Frazier as a HC.

Well Dallas lost, so im good

Yep it seems to happen every game for stretch, and then they turn it on and are unstoppable. Not sure why it happens really, but it’s annoying to watch.

I always liked Boettger, so I recall a lot of people complaining about him last year. But I guess now he is the savior. I do think he can help us, but an achilles is really a terrible injury for offensive linemen as that plant foot has to be able to bear weight and explode. It happened so late last year that I wouldn’t be shocked if he he doesn’t play this year.

The Dolphins are talented. They have top ten picks all over their roster and a guy who is running Shanahhan’s offense. The beat us in a lot of the one on one situations, but that is not how you win a championship. I take issue with the boneheaded mistakes that happen too often this season to our Bills. But as long as we have Josh, we have a shot. I am glad the game was close. The Bills have to continue to prove that we can win these close games. If the game against the Bears is close, I will be concerned.

If Morse winds up having issues the way easier fix is to move Bates to center and find a guard. But we need two because Saffold is very bad right now. He was jumping the snap count on almost every play because that is how bad his pass pro is. But Morse has been excellent so I hope he is okay. FA centers include Rodney Hudson, Connor McGovern, Garrett Bradbury, Scott Quessenberry (David’sbro). FA guards include Justin Pugh, Issac Seumalo, Wes Schweitzer, Eldgton Jenkins, Dalton Risner, Nate Davis, David Edwards (ram). In the short term they need to look at John Simpson. He visited the Ravens after clearing waivers. I have seen nothing else. He would be a nice fit adding youth and strength to that interior.

That seems out of character for Mariota. His reputation has always been a pretty positive one so I find this kind of shocking. Perhaps there is more to the story.

My issue with McKenzie was not so much the drops, though they were anger inducing, but on that drop on the sideline, CJ Mosely was hip to hip with him, basically running his route. If your are small and can't make contested catches, you better have some serious speed and route running ability and short area quickness and it just doesn't seem to be there this year. I have never been a huge fan,if only he could play against Miles Bryant every week. I would like to see some combination of Hynes and Cook take his reps, on the field at the same time. What Shannahan is doing with McCaffrey and Deebo in the backfield, slot and out wide, is what we should be trying to do with those guys. Without Daboll, the offense has lost some imagination.

An interesting replacement could be John Simpson who the Raiders just released. I really don’t know what went down with the Raiders, but we were all over Simpson pre draft, and a lot of people were projecting him to us. High RAS player who is only 25 years old. Grabbing him now would be like having an extra draft pick.

At the end of the day how do you replace him? He’s the premier free agent at the position. Anthony Walker? Lavonte David? Alex Anzalone? Within with guys like Klein or Dodson? There are a few interesting guys coming out, but then you are drafting for need. I think at the very least you franchise him. I think he stays for at least one more year.

The 49ers are so good. Jimmy isn’t great. It doesn’t matter. They have a shot. He just can’t give the game away
