( 4th Rd) Draft QB Williams and still get an OT.. Higgins would be a great trade for them but they need Olinemen as well.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, rather surprising, that. Yeah. It was smart to trade down before the Bengals made a terrible pick. (It was Carman) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It was Carman) That is exactly why we need to be taking 1st round linemen, or at least first-round tackles. Don't mess around with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Jonah Williams/Cedric O./Andre Smith are the most recent first round tackles in the Tobin era. Just because they’re throwing premium darts at the position doesn’t mean it’s going to guarantee success. They need to draft big guys who test well athletically and the tape is clean. Mims and Latham combines will be important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicoli Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Jonah Williams will be the highest paid OL in this years FA class. If no one here knew anything about him and the Bengals went out and got the top OT on the market, most here would be doing backflips. Just sayin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I do think Jonah is solid and he’s going to get paid handsomely. But he’s built for zone scheme with his size and he doesn’t have great short area burst so he’s pretty limited at that. Even if the Bengals didn’t have Tee as a tag option - I’m not sure they would use it on Jonah. I think they want big and athletic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of linemen does this team need to be really solid in the AFCN? I see the the glass eaters on our rivals but I see ours as passive. If Pollack isn't the reason the passiveness is .no?

spicoli Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I mean, who are the “glass eaters”? Mostly what I see are QB’s getting harassed and running around and making plays out of structure. Detroit OL has been the best I’ve seen so far in the playoffs. That said, still no way I’m trading Chase for Sewell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lineman is either mean as hell and stupid, or mean as hell and smart. You don’t play offensive line from the time you are in little league until you are on an NFL roster, and not be a person very used to colliding with just-as-mean opponents. Not one freaking lineman—college or pros—will ever be considered “passive”. Who wants to collide more…and be smart with an assignment? There is your line play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
