lol... I know that the older I get the more brain farts I am permitted. If you need my agent's number, let me know...

Nope... and I still don't. DL shooting gaps to make tackles while leaving OL free to flatten the back 7 is about as far from that as can be. DL set up LBs by "occupying OL", e.g., a single DT tying up two OL. Put another way te DL "block" for the LB(s).

Why would any of them comment on Duke?

While LB is a weak room for us.... weaker than TE... like TE it's going to be a deemphasized position in 2019. I see a lot of Spread Offense coming in 2019 and with our WR room only Njoku is going to see the field in that set. We've got a helluva DL payroll for them to free up LBs.... We've assembled a disruptive DL... vs. run as well as pass... and disruptive DLs penetrate and make plays. They don't set up LBs. Garrett and Vernon cut off everything wide for Richardson, Ogun and LBs to stuff 4-on-3 in between.

Baker is the face of the franchise. That face essentially said, "Lead, follow or get out of the way." I have no issue with that.

Yup...and Joe favors fluid movers... which Harrison was. Problem was Harrison could not run block and that is the OL's "Job 1" these days. ... but at the wrong position...

Z, your total is 52... 24 O + 25 D +3 ST... so you have room to keep Kalis, which since he is currently a #1 might be wise. FIFY

Terelle Pryor signed 1-year deal with JAX today. Something like his 6th team...

Looks more OT-ish to me... plays too high to handle NFL-grade DTs. Coach Flugs would be all over him about standing up at the snap and hopping into any movement (wasted motion). What I do like is that even with the wasted motion early he gets to smaller, quicker 2nd-level defenders consistently and eliminates them from the play without having to reach for them. That takes some quick feet.

Read a musing today that McCoy just might drag out signing past the upcoming mandatory mini-camps. Agree.... $13mm was not a barrier... at least not if we really thought McCoy was a key piece to add to our 2019 puzzle.

Then why did you go there?

Agree that there's still time, but... OTAs are about more than playbook. Lotta tech work goes on with the OL and reports are that this is where Corbett's issues lie. As for being drafted to replace Joe.... no. Remember it was Bito that got the look there. While both are 6'4 at 81" Bito's wingspan is nearly 3" greater than Corb's...

Which is the definition of "a position of strength". It usually takes you more than consecutive posts for you to contradict yourself

Not even the league's best RG vs. its worst Edge rusher??? C'mon man....

Yet that is exactly what JD did when he swapped Zeitler for Vernon. You have to give value to get value.
