If by upgrade you mean they don't suck as terribly as they did last year, then you're right.

The Jared Wilson as our starting LG experiment needs to end now; and the Jared Wilson as our potential starting Center program needs to begin now, and fast.

Stumpy is our starting LT only because this front orifice flat-out Refused to sign Any veteran OLman with Any LT experience. Absolutely fucking mind-blowing.

Otherwise, spot-on analysis.


The problem is that the team has to choose between the guard that can't play guard in the NFL (strange) and the center who can't pass block in the NFL (Bradbury), because they failed to sign a top line OG in the offseason. And, because they chose stay-and-take-the-RB instead of moving up for Simmons, even the OT spots are a concern, even if that becomes only a depth concern.

This team could have traded up for Simmons, and then had an OT trio of Campbell, Simmons and Moses to rotate for the season, and one or both of the rookies could have spent some time at LG, too. Instead, they'll have a dynamic running back and a QB who's got to hope that a pair of rookie offensive lineman get the job done and stay healthy, while one of two veteran stiffs magically finds a way to become a legit player.

Of course, the real problem, the issue that set all of this OL struggling into motion, is that last season's draft/FA was a disaster, and last year's OL ended up being so bad that fixing it in just one season was always going to be a tough assignment.
 



  • This team has 3 ceiling guys (Diggs/Bourne/Hollins) who are at least depth NFL players, with 2 of them recovering from injury
  • The team has potential 6 guys (Douglas/Williams/Boutte/Polk/Baker/Chism), 2 of whom showed no real NFL ability last year

Cuts and numbers at the position is going to be be very interesting. I was confident that Bourne was going to make the team as a top 6 selection, but his injury situation has opened the door for the 3 lowest of the potential guys (Polk/Walker/Chism), and seemingly for Chism in particular. Bourne may be needing the team to go with 7WRs, or for someone to go on the IR to start the season, in order to stick at this point.

Niggs - Pop - BootyTime

Mac the Weirdo - The Chizz - Williams/should've been Jaylin Noel

Those are your 6. Period. Everyone else is traded/IRed/waived/released.
 


3) Until yesterday, I had believed that there was no way that Uncle Dugg would be cut and his dead cap eaten. Now I no longer believe that.

5) Maye, Schooler, Landry, Marcus... and BootyTime? That's a real sign of his status inside the building. Let's see if it results in production on the field too...

7) Yeah I've resigned myself to the sad fact that Jellybean's making the 53, whereas if he were in an organization that actually had their LT situation squared-away, he would be on the Practice Squad re-shaping his body & learning to be a pro.

8) No shock there. Get used to it too.
