Revamping the OL

[Teague31]

Unfortunately this isn’t going to be able to be done in one off season but here’s what I would start looking at. First, get an OL coach under the age of 80.

LT - say goodbye to Tyron and start grooming Asim for the job.

LG- Leave the beast where he is. I know lots of folks say move him to LT cause it’s a more important position. I don’t disagree but damn I see Larry Allen leaving him at guard.

C- Find a new one. No way I’m paying Biadasz what he is likely to get on the market. Lots of good ones coming out this year.

RG - Zack Martin farewell tour. But I’d be giving Bass snaps whenever I could to get him ready

RT- Ugh. That contract. This one I regrettably stand pat for a year and hope this is health related.

But man, rookie contracts across the board by maybe 2025 sounds good to me.

Real good Center class incoming, wonder if that means the end of Biaz with the team. Believe Richards is just a prospect and they need another left side starter.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I definitely would not be upset if they drafted a OL in all three initial rounds. C, G and T... Say bye bye to Tyron, Biadasz and Edoga. Not giving up on Steele, i think he's having the sophomore slump and coupled with coming back from the knee injury.
i am high on Bass and Richards.

But it is time to renovate this line. Need desperately to stick with one lineup and keep them there to develop cohesion, familiarity and repetition. Never did like their insistence that linemen should be able to switch sides. You might do that with one that has the talent to do it, but it is not a deal breaker if they can't. How ironic that their best lineman will not agree to switch.

Steele will be fine in year 2.

Steele will be fine, Gallup not so much although he still has time to prove us wrong this season.

 

[CATCH17]

What’s crazy is it’s still one of the best offensive lines in football but most of you are too focused on Dallas to realize that.

 

[jay94]

Tyron is to cheap to get rid of, but yes we need to draft someone in first 2 rounds.

We’ll see he wasn’t exactly a stellar pass blocker pre injury he was solid run blocking now that’s regressed as well

McCarthy needs to scheme in help on that side when we face DEs of the quality we did Sunday

 

[Hennessy_King]

They are going to have to get a tackle in free agency for LT. Draft a center and a tackle

Fake news.

Sure. Let our pro bowl Center walk because of #BiadaszHate…

I get it man.

But this isn’t going to happen.

A lot of people think the key is drafting nothing but OTackles to use for tackles and guards. Put the best 2 tackles at tackle...put next two best at guard. Then when u have injuries...you have flexibility.

Drafting a pure guard may not be the best....unless he can play center too....but this shouldn't be a RD1 pick.

Drafting tackles from the SEC powerhouses...is a pretty high percentage way to build a good deep OLine.

[stiletto]

Definitely draft a Center, like 4 or 5 coming out this year. Need to dive into a real FA target on the OL as well. Hopefully they leave Tyler Smith where he is and don't make him play LT.

 

[Mookie]

La'el isn't horrible, why not?

 

[Hardline]

Drafting O'Cyrus Torrence in the 2nd round would've been a great start.

Careful, CowboyRoy is not going to like hearing this. I told him the Cowboys should have kept Connor Williams but moved him to Center. The Dolphins were smart enough to properly evaluate Connor's physical skills, immediately turned him into a Center, and now Connor Williams is one of the best Centers in the NFL......and he costs only $7 million/year.

Current PFF Center grade:

Connor Williams: 77.1 grade with 0 sacks allowed

Tyler Biadasz: 62.6 grade with 3 sacks allowed

PS: By the way, where is CowboyRoy?

Damn skippy. Drafting all across the board from the SEC is a good base strategy.
