I think they are planning to move smitty to the slot some more which might spell doom for camp

Richard Sherman had same questions marks as tray walker and both scouting reports and measurements and such are about the same. Sherman was drafted a round later. who knows tray might end up being a gem just like him.

this is my best guess as well

let me guess , you used your famous eye test

agreed he looks a lot like witten which is a good deal. if he comes close or matches witten we are talking about an all pro perhaps HOF caliber player. this is 1 hell of a pick up. and people doubted ozzie for not signing a TE or WR in FA lmao.

welcome aboard young fella. TO had a case of the dropsies and he had a fine career. sky is the limit as this point and we will see what the future brings.

it can happen if you sacrifice other parts of the team. problaly means either osemele or yanda will be gone and Upshaw probably as well. got to say that both hernandez and gronk are a tier above pitta and Bennett so in their case it seemed more justified although in hindsight 1 turned out to be a serial killer...

he would have to been pro bowl good to get on the field lol mosley was a pro bowler and daryl smith wasent really that much worse , so it was a very uphill battle to steal snaps from them. he would have been starting if we did not draft mosley since his rookie showed promise. sometimes you can be good and still not play , simply because the guys infront of you are better.

trestman biggest assest is his ability to call plays that fit his players strength. where other coaches look for players to fit their scheme , he adjust his scheme to the players he has. his problems in chicago where the defense that could not stop anyone which forced cutler to do to much which he just could not handle. we dont have to worry cause even with issues our defense is 1 of the better units in the league and flacco is capable of carrying a big load when we need to. the only thing that might be an issue with trestman is when he gets away from the run and gets to pass happy. BTW jerry rice had his record breaking season under trestman.

he did not play in 2013 but last season he was with niners not doing much. altough he did avg 21 yards per catch on 14 catches for 294 yards and 1 in 14 games. not sure what to make of this tbh. 1 catch per game that on avg went for 21 yards. well i guess he is still a deep threat lol

he was a pretty underrated route runner and sneaky fast. now im not sure if he got anything left in the tank though.

meh doubt people still view him that way at age 33.

their teams usually finish 1st in their division and being in the same conference guarantees them having a match pretty much every season unless 1 gets injured.

eye test lol. seems legit. im pretty sure we all know how good mathis and yanda are. but we all also know that having players play positions they have no experience playing is a recipe for disaster. i think you dont know that every position along the o-line requires a slightly different technique and i think you underestimate the difficulty of doing something different then you are used to doing on the highest level. mathis has always played on the left side of the o-line so its probaly not so easy to ditch what he has been doing for 11+ years to learn what it takes to play on the right side. also you forget we gave up a pick and signed zuttah to a pretty decend contract which is way to much to just become a back up. in madden you can do what you suggest with ease but in real life there are alot of things that have to be accounted for and tbh your suggestion makes little sense since there is little guaranteed that i can work other then the eye test. being a GM you need alot more then the eye test to consider such a move. risk far outweighs the reward, not to mention i dont think yanda and zuttah will be jumping for joy being asked to play a different position or be on the bench for 1 year rental. also i doubt mathis will come cheap and im quite positive their will be other teams who could offer him similiar or more money and he can play his natural position. ow and you do know they can just line up watt anywhere on the d-line right?

and you base this off?

im pretty sure mathis played LG in his career.

playing players out of position has never been a recipe for succes. this isent madden where things like this can be done with out consequence.

he will be a good fill in when smith looses a step due to age.

crabtree 1 year 3.2 mil deal with 1.8mil incentives to earn lol. glad he aint with us

yanda will get an extension no doubt . id love to have them resign KO as well. my question is though do people rather have the team sign KO and keep the o-line intact or do they prefer the team to spend in on a high priced WR in FA. i know we will be hearing that again next off season especially if the rookie we drafted isent putting up all pro stats lol

he cant block , isent a good RR and has decend hands. only reason ravens fans like him is because he is fast and athletic. i think some believe he can be just like julius thomas because they have similiar build and such. as for bengals fans. well he is a downgrade from gresham and they did not like him so yeah that explains it self lol

or perhaps you should read the whole discussion before replying? this started when 1 person blamed caldwell for the issues concerning the run game in 2013 and also being the reason the colts and lions run game are bad. now im debating thats not right since we had a new hired run game coördinator to install the zone blocking scheme. you dont really need any nuances of responsibility when you have a person with the job function ``run game coordinator`` , to decide who is responsible when the run game doesent work. the job title is pretty much a give away lol. also all you need is some common sense to figure out a QB coach doesent really have much to do with how the run game functions. seriously the title QB coach kind of gives away what his job is supposed to be dont you think. now ofcourse things arent this simple and numerous factors can cause something to not function properly but its safe to say that problems with the run game should fall on the run game coördinator first lol also lets be real here. kubiak and his scheme has been producing for over 2 decades now. is it really that far fetched to credit him the most for turning things around?

so Caldwell and Kubiak aren't respected? seems teams are offering them HC jobs so they must be doing something better lol. also it makes sense to blame the o-line coach when the o-line isent producing. it makes even more sense when the cause is that same o-line coach trying to implemend a new scheme. it makes less sense to blame the OC who is using the previous OC scheme and has little knowledge on how to coach the o-line. since are on the topic of making sense. im still waiting on you to explain how blaiming the QB coach for a terrible running game makes any sense. im have no idea how coaching a QB can influence the o-line run blocking but apparently you do since you blamed Caldwell for the colts troubles. Im willing to bet if we put kubiak resume next to that of Castillo , kubiak will come on top. his scheme is known to produce pro bowl RBs regardless of o-line coach. Caldwell did not have a scheme. he used Cameron playbook. the zone blocking scheme we used in 2013 was that of Castillo. he was hired to install that scheme. harbough said so and he was even promised it would have gotten better later in the season which it did not. stop trying to blame Caldwell.

kubiak has like 2 decades of leading an succesfull offense. I doubt we would had less success if we kept moeller instead of Castillo. moeller did quite a job with the browns o-line btw especially since they lost mack for the season. also it seems more like you where pushing all the blame to Caldwell instead of Castillo. I still want to know how a QB coach/assistent HC can be held responsible for the offense struggling to run the ball. Or how a 1st year HC is supposed to turn a team that has struggled to run the ball for over 12 seasons into a top running team neglecting the fact the he hires OC and position coaches to do it for him since he himself has 0 experience in doing it himself...

Detroit had a horrid run game since barry sanders retired. between 2002 and 2014 they only had 1 season they finished top 20 in run offense which was last year when they where #17. yeah they seemed to had issues with the run game way before Caldwell came around. also Caldwell became the HC there and he has an OC and o-line coordinator + he isent the GM so i fail to see how you can blame him since he has been there for 1 season. I don't even know how you can bring up the colts cause they had no run game since edgerrin james left in 2005. what is interesting is that Caldwell was an HC assistant and QB coach from 2002 - 2008 and he became the HC from 2009-2011. at no point was he an OC or o-line coach and before he became the HC and after he left the Colts had issues running the ball. heck 3 years later they still struggle. How you want to link that teams issues to him is beyond me. Also im pretty sure many other QBs would find his terminology complex if he using the same he was used to using with peyton manning. I still don't see how his terminology as a position coach would affect other positions. his 1 season as on OC with the ravens he was using Cameron book since he doesent have an own play book but i doubt he could determine what terminology position coaches should use with their group lol. especially when you consider we had moeller and Castillo for 1 group..... its a myth that bad run games follow Caldwell since he has never been in charge of fixing them in the first place. a QB coach doesent involve himself in the run game and a HC hires coordinators and position coaches to do it for him. its like saying its harbough fault the WRs struggle or the safeties cant cover totally disregarding the OC/DC and position coaches lmao you are stretching things for Castillo sake. just like you are suggesting Castillo is the reason we had a succesfull run game , disregarding the fact we brought in an OC who has been producing pro bowl rbs for over 20 years......
