What is the word with Matt Waletzko?

[Coogiguy03]

If anything, he was a RT anyway.

would he be the first option if gosh forbid Steele got hurt

 

[Runwildboys]

He was a 5th rounder who is still in the roster heading into year 4. Thats not bad value for the pick

It is, if it's keeping us from improving the position.

Richards is a better player so he’s kinda buried on depth chart. I don’t see any future for him but he may stick as depth another year

Someone is going to grab Richards as a cheap FA and have a steal of a decent starting tackle.

Played well from what I can tell. As of right now, not only is he better than Waletzko, but he is better than Guyton also.

Watch and see if this team doesn’t start its third best LT this year just because.

How many successful 6'8 tackles are in the league? Just curious.

Not sure.

Technically, Waletzko was officially 6’-7.5”

36 1/8” arms
85 5/8” wingspan

That’s wild.

Yes it is. Dude was supposed to get stronger then be a starting potential RT...He never got strong enough. Contract year tho maybe he turns into Columbo.

Over-Hyped garbage. Nothing new around here

who the hell hyped a 5th rounder?

 

[Gambit]

Who was hyping him? I dont recall anyone ever declaring him a potential starter or anything like that

Don't recall anyone in here hyping him, but it's clear he had sponsors among coaches. He doesn't have that anymore, I don't see him making roster.

 

[dogberry]

Seven guys fighting for four spots.

Not a clean choice in the lot.

 

[AbeBeta]

Over-Hyped garbage. Nothing new around here

Who was hyping a 5th round pick? 5-7th round picks get their names called but generally have outcomes similar to UDFAs.

Are you making up stuff to be upset about?

What did he contribute for the “ value “ . Josh Ball another bust

Will be watching for that about training camp and preseason also.

I definitely want to see the RG, LT and DT1 positions earned and not given to an undeserving player because of being a higher draft pick.

Will be a good indicator if Head Coach Jerry is still in charge of who plays and how much and also let us know if the culture really has changed.

I'll be paying attention to those 3 spots for sure.

He is strong. 28 bench presses

But how strong is he now after his shoulder injuries?
