Yup. Simply too many unknowns, too many rooks that need to play at a high level.Biadaz was not bad; just not what we really needed. It might take time for the replacement to even be as good let along better
Tyron was ALL PRO last year and now he is gone; you can talk all you want about reliability but he is gone and we do not have an ALL PRO LT to replace him
Our RT might or might not recover to what he was.
So bluntly speaking claiming we are top ten now is moronic. We could very well be near the bottom of the NFL starting out this season.
Now I think 28 is too low anyway; but we could be less than average.
I guess you didn't realize that this ranking is based on the current status.But how do you know that yet we haven't played a single game we haven't seen with this group can do together well we haven't even picked the group yet that's what training camp is for we have 2+ months left don't we?
Of course, Duh. Then why you in this thread?really more hyperbole more opinion more rhetoric more nonsense...
you know these rankings are just a joke... I mean anybody trying to rank a team or player or a group before you see them play a game it's futile it is ridiculous oh it could be a problem it could be a problem for any team....
I can just pick a random team right now and say the Houston Texans it could be a problem they're going to have a sophomore slump this year and they're going to have a terrible year I'm going to rank them 18th this year because I feel like it...
You can say that everyone can start making these wholesale assumptions let's just see what happens in training camp no one's counting on it heard the same stuff exact same thing about Tyler Smith and he wasn't even supposed to be the left tackle he was drafted to be the left guard but because once again someone got injured someone everyone thinks they have not been let go and somehow Tyler at the most key position this raw green kid according to fans should have never been reached for in the first round held his own and then when he goes back to his natural position now he's an all pro or pro bowler I don't know what he is he's definitely great don't say it can't happen we just witnessed a player that most people are saying the exact same things about he was drafted because of his size and his traits and he's too raw he has too many penalties blah blah blah you guys are a bunch of airbags you repeat the same things like a parent every year and no we shouldn't count on him but don't be shocked if he is allowed to grow at left tackle and struggle some and then just find his comfort zone...Starting rookies at the two most important positions.
Yeah, could get ugly.
Especially Guyton. Drafted for traits, not honed skills. Not starting NFL ready by his college play.
Maybe a little better than Biadasz was as a rookie. Which just wasn't very good.Beebe probably walks in as good as Tyler Biadasz. If not, he will be after a couple of games.
Which year?Ain't no stoppin us goin 12-5 again......trivial details
Our Oline will definitely get to top 25 by December. Book it
