[Hawkeye0202]

Martin's replacement?

If only we didn't hand out contracts & contract revisions without regard to actual performance, might not feel compelled to give those players the starting roles but rather let it be earned.

Too little meritocracy in Dallas.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Well he does have a 37.3 pass blocking grade from the same source as those stats

Yep, Dallas even keeps fans coming back without deserving them....i guess our fans are just like our FO.

Think he's a starter next year. Poor man Leary. Good run blocker, average pass blocker.

Yeah, Smith is a much better overall blocker, but Bass is a good option to have for replacing Martin next year.

Frankly, I think a line consisting of some combination of the best of Smith, Beebe, Bass, Richards, Hoffman and Guyton will be best for this team moving forward. Obviously, that would mean Martin (retirement) and Steele (traded or cut) would be gone, and we would need to add some backup depth.

Bass was All Conf in NCAA

solid player.

he needs reps.

HE has got the beginnings of a beard

I am sold

RG is the least important position of the OL.

So before we bust another LT first round pick and then have to let him play guard i am all for Bass.

LOL at the claim about RG

Yeah and he’ll do well.

Hes a starting offensive lineman in this league.

He’s probably right.

 

[gtb1943]

He’s probably right.

Different offensive schemes highlight different parts of the O line

As a general statement he’s probably right.

Not knocking him. It's just that Smith is an All-Pro. It won't bother me at all next year, though, if Smith gets moved out to LT and Bass is the LG (because Smith might also end up being our best LT candidate). Of course, with Martin liable to leave, I think Bass will end up at RG.

 

[Floatyworm]

Weird he didn't get a single snap today......

 

[Risen Star]

Weird he didn't get a single snap today......

He's a semi-pro stiff.

Odd.

Bass is stronger than Hoffman.

I did find it interesting that Hoffman was at RG over Bass today.
