When Trestman went to Canada his team went from worst in the league is sacks to 3rd best. His shceme will help his QB as long as the improvements we have made and still to make on the OLne.

I think we are probably on the same wave length, it is just sometimes you come across as ego tripper,saying you could do a better job. In a lot of situations, you might have made a better choice, but it all gets lost in transition. A draft choice a person made 3 years ago that failed, caused you to sign Peppers, a good player but played a ton of money. It is a snow ball effect, on one year to the next with all the decisions a GM makes. All of there choices are on record. I dont have the time or interest to go back and look at your opinion on something from a few years ago, so things get lost. It is just easier to criticize sitting in front of a computer than sitting in one of there chairs. I have never claimed there all brainiacs, just that you cant really compare our view to theirs. On here we all batter our opinions on who's smarter or made a better point, I think I could of did a better job than JA did, but if my job was at stake things might have been different. It is just kind of a mute point.

There is definite risk there, but he is going to be so good. He has not missed anytime in college over injuries and injuries can happen to anybody. You just have to roll the dice and see what you get.

I wouldnt bitch and complain if that happened, there is some logic to your argument, but like you said we dont know what Trestman wants to do, so he will get what his thinks he needs, whether that be another TE or a speedy WR. We simply dont know what he wants. He is a composite of eveything he has experenced, so we can say he is a WCO coach but may be many different schemes mixed together.

There are a lot of people on here that make informed and good judgement calls on different scenarios, and even include you in that group, but usually doing it from hindsight to say( look what I said). I could say I like 10 LBers in the draft and then two years later after the fact 4 of then turned out good, I could say how smart I was. Giving opinions and doing it for a job are way different. You get rid of Urlacher and get condemned and praised for it and then Urlacher never plays again so you say,( he would have did good if!) None of that matters. Gms get fired every year, bad ones make good decisions and good one make bad decisions. Timing is everything. For you to compare your suggestions over Jerry Angelos decisions since he was here, my grandchild could have drafted better. He was bad, everybody on here might have did a better job. When you make decisions that affects whether you staying working or whether you get fired, can not be compared to bloggers opinions. Its like having a Giraffe screw a rabbit, it just doesnt work. To say your the smartest one on here, I could live with that egoism, but your mixing apples and oranges.

He will never be there, they are talking about people drafting him in the top 10 now. I would love him, but noway he is there.

your very convincing on the fact you are smarter than most NFL GMs, I think you should go apply for a job, the owners will clearly see what we see here on your brilliant ideas , plus they could get you a lot cheaper.

I dont think they signed anybody to the roster in FAgency , just to practice contracts. They see upside in him more than who is on the roster behind the starters. The only way I dont see him making it is if Izzy resigns.

you are in a better negotiating position if a player drops that several teams want, I think unless its the first 5 picks, people will wait to see who will be there at 20.Doing it ahead doesnt make sense for either team at that spot.

I heard mentioned that according to the roster Biggs was given, he is listed as a FB/HB yet.

Those are both good observations. I don't understand how Unga is still around, but there must be a reason.

I have been watching a lot of tape of everybody talking during this mini camp and I get the impression all the players have respect for Trestman, due to the fact he's the smartest guy in the room.

The trades wont occur until the draft starts, why would any smart GM tell the rest of the league what there exact plans are? Atlanta's picks would be 30,92 and 127, if the player they want falls to us.

Emery mentioned that in the press conference but that doesnt mean he will do that, just listing his options. He has mentioned several times about moving back, so that is most likely what HE wants to do.

This morning on the SCORE Brad Briggs stated the OLine was Bushrod,Brown,Garza,Slauson,Webb with Carmi and Scott seeing time on the right side. Well so far with people that attended practice we have 3 different lineups. I guess pick the one you most trust. In any event, Carmi is right at this moment in time a backup. Also stated that Carmi was moved to LG,RG, and RT so will see how it all shakes out. I dont think we will see the wasted time outs and time penalties anymore with this coaching staff. They are to the point and everybody is lining up right, everything seems fluid. Not much you can tell with players in shorts but that is one thing you can notice.

Went back and read his draft profiles and it states he doesnt have the footwork to be a OT but a strong run blocker with an attitude. Despite his size, has good leverage with his blocks. He was never hurt in college. It sounds like a descent prospect to play OG but was derailed with injuries while in the league. If his injuries are behind him, he could become a starter. I think Kromer has input in some of the OLine prospects we are bringing in. Maybe he has plan that could work out. I dont think we should discount the fact he may like Brown and that may end up being our RG going forward.

With them bringing more bodies in at OG and Carmi not being given the starter spot, It aint looking good for Carmi to stick with the team. Although you only get impressions without pads on, they look at a lot of tape. Last years tape on Carmi was not good at all. Hopefully he can earn his way back to a starter..I looked up his salary and if we cut him this year it ends up being 2.8 mil in dead cap. That might come into play.

Briggs tweeted he was at OG and Zack stated on the SCORE he was backing up Brown at RG. There are not allowed to tweet during practice but they are not restricted to there content when they do tweet.

It was stated he was only at RG.

Brad Briggs tweets, and Zack Zaidmen on the score.

I was reading tweets from Brad Briggs and listening to the Score.

Or we are going to draft one.

It doesnt cost anything to sign these type of players, and if he realizes his potenial, we may have another piece to add to the mix. Our cap is measured by the top 51 players salaries.

Hester no where near the Offense. I see him cut if he doesnt impress anybody with some flash. Carmi practicing strictly at Guard. Do we see a Fluker in our future?

Just one guys opinion, and agree with Johnsons, Fitzgerald and Marshall being in the top 5. At this point in time, Wes Welker has to be acknowledged somewhere towards the top, I think production counts for something.
