On a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned with LG are you

[darthseinfeld]

Position was much talked about here throughout the draft. How concerned are you

Put me down at a 7. And my reasons for that are two-fold.

First, I have no faith in any lineup suggesting Chuma Edoga or Ball in that spot. Neither has the adequate power or anchor to hold up inside.

Second, if the plan is to play Tyler Smith there, we’re rolling the dice on Tyron Smith holding up at left tackle. That’s a losing bet.

I think we have viable answers on the roster but, until one of them adequately does the job, I'm at 8 on the concerned meter.

If everyone stays healthy I have little concern but the second Tyron goes down then it’s a known

I was irritated they passed on Torrence

Edoga has good tape at LG

Edoga has good tape at LG

One game is “good tape”?

Not in my book.

What about the tackle we took ? Aren’t they thinking of moving him to guard?

4, I think they have enough OL to shuffle to get the right mix of the best 5. But that includes Steele at 100%.

Now if injuries happen, as they will, I would change that to an 8 if no OL can develop quick enough to fill in.
My concern is depth.

2, I think Richards could start early. Like Tyler he needs work on technique but a lot of his pass pro criticisms should be mitigated with a move inside.

Bring in Risner

Let’s Richards and Bostick learn for a year to be depth

Pretty high. Considering interior d-line is a strength of the other NFC East teams. Interior pressure can really destroy offenses. It seems like we have several ways to go at LG. Not sure if any of them are ideal and depth is also a concern.

Yes

 

[Ekspozed]

I'm honestly not concerned with the line.

This FO dedication to older players is beyond annoying it goes way back

Put down a 4........don't think they are done addressing it. Ask me again in training camp

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Going into the season with this O-line, reminds me of what we did last year at the WR position...

Tyron Tyler bia martin Steele is our best lineup.

I think Matt will fill in fine until he's back.

If/when tyron goes down there are sever options.

Tyler slides to Lt and edoga fills in at lg which is still a quality line. Or Matt develops really nicely and is able to manage the Lt position for tyron.

If the rookies develop it's a plus. Asim has Tyler Smith similarities and earl/bass has potential.

Yep agree, Im gambling on the fact that as soon as the Eagles were in a position to fielding: Cox, Carter and Davis at DT we decided there was nobody in the draft that could handle them ....and we acknowledged we need the veteran presence of Risner inside.

No matter how many times Tyron Smith proves unreliable (health), this team continues to think it will be ‘different this year’.
