PIZ Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I really like Tucker at LG, but Bannon could add more speed to the lineup. CBS Sportsline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Nest year is the key to this talk as many posters want to turn out OL into tinker players who can be moved around successfully whilly nilly, but this has not been the means for achieving OL succes in the NFL in the past. It was interesting to me to see the PTI discussion of OL changes in which Merill Hoge (he's a paid pundit so his word should not be taken as gospel but he is former player so its fine to reject his word but it does merit a reason for rejecting his thoughts) said that football teams aspire to make no more than 1 or so personel and position changes on the OL in an entire season. He contrasted this with Pittsburgh's past shuffling of the versatile Alan Faneca and the increase in the success of their running game today not simply because of Duce Staley but they have kept Faneca and the OL in the same positions. I think if you read what JMac said he emphasized the off-season for this work and even in that context said might rather than stating it as a certainty.
