Brown moved over and played very well. At that point, he said "I'm a left tackle". The Ravens wanted to keep him, but had no choice but to move him. He is a very good RT, maybe the best in the league. If he would agree to play RT for us, I would make him the highest paid one. Problem is, his pride is telling him that he deserves top dollar at left tackle. Regardless of Brown, I want Braxton Jones as our LT, as I think he is special. To play the way he did, coming from a lesser program, admirable. Nothing but upside this off season. I think we need to concentrate on RT and a stud center. If we were to sign him RT is where I'd like to see him play for us too it's still not clear if he fits our ZBS I've never watched enough of him to even hazard a guess but I definitely don't think he did that in Baltimore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Brown got traded is he refused to go back to RT. Jones has grown enough in his first year to merit letting that experiment play out. I think they draft a OT that could slide to LT if Jones fades. Mauch comes to mind. Basically can play any spot on the OL. Of course Brown is better, but if you upgrade the rest of the line, it would still have positive results. Brown may end up being the highest paid LT in the league , with that money, Poles can add two starters on the OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 I don't think Mauch is better than Jones. Thats just crazy talk. I'd love Brown but not to supplant Jones. To play right tackle for left tackle money. I wouldn't give two fucks which he wants to play. Sign that dotted line and I'll let you know where you're gonna play.

killakrzydav Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 I also don't think Jones "deserves" to play left tackle. He certainly earned it and played dammed well. Maybe a competition would make everyone feel better. Loser plays right side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted March 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Daniel Jones signed for $40M a year (lmao), so Barkley got tagged. RB is going to be interesting with Pollard, Jacobs, and Barkley off the board. Media thinks Monty will end up in ATL (Pace) or KC (Nagy), so we will see. I would rather draft one (fresh legs) than sign one, unless it is a vet minimum guy for depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign that dotted line and I'll let you know where you're gonna play. Its not that Mauch is better at this stage but gives you a high level prospect hat you could plug in anywhere in the line if someone fails. Brown is going to be paid elite LT money. No way Poles is paying that and moving him to RT. Truthfully he's not paying that and leave him at LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 I would like Mauch on our team. I don't think he could beat out Jones. He could be a good guard tho. Maybe even a right tackle. ZBS does he fit? He looks solid at a lot from what I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're going to have a problem with Poles, he's resigning Monty at 6-7 mil and not bringing in Brown. Just my guess what Poles, not what I want.

killakrzydav Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Schmitz is strong as hell but doesn't move well. Zone blocking. Moving in space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 I won't have a problem with Poles if Monty is his guy. He's just not mine. I am firmly behind Poles's vision and loved the tank. He should get extended if he has another draft like last year. I have faith that he'll draft the right pieces for the Bears. They might not be my pieces but I'm not him.

killakrzydav Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 To clarify, Poles lost three potential FA backs that are greater than Monty by far due to the FT. If he has to settle for dude; I guess things could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Does anybody remember the last time homie ran away from someone to the end zone? Im getting old and the memory aint what it used to be. I know a few years back he had a 80 yarder but homie isn't a threat. At all. Nobody is ever worried when dude gets the rock. Worst case scenario, the opposing D runs him down 16 yards downfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mauch's strength is his... strength LOL he's a total mauler, but not a technical pass protector. I do see him as more of a RT or a guard. I think he's a beast tho, not sure i ever thought that about Jones. But if you're talking strictly LT, I think i agree that Jones > Mauch. But i think in the running game especially, Mauch is much better than Jones. But that's great - room for both then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 For better or for worst, this is what I think Poles is doing. Resigns Monty for 3 yr 19.5 mil If Dremont Jones is to expensive, he signs Kyle Allen. Signs McGary, he played under the OL coach. Signs Ethan Pocic, doesn't wait for the growth of a rookie Mooney and Claypool plays on the outside, signs Olamide Zaccheaus to compete with V Jones in the slot. Signs Bobby Okereke. Keeps Whitehair for one more year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's it play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Yea, I draft Michigans, Minnesotas, and Ohio States centers in my mock drafts but Id pay a fortune to not watch Musty(new nickname) wonder which of there people to block and decides to block air.

Hes a great pass blocker, blitz protection guy, he has great vision, hes a north south runner, hes tough and finishes runs turning 3 yard gains into 6 yard gains, and he has the hands to catch the ball out of the backfield. i think thats what they need him for - moving the chains, picking up blitzes, pounding the ball over the goalline, and catching wheel routes and screens.

Stinger226 Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 We led the league in rushing last year with Monty. As we transition to more of a passing team, he becomes more valuable as pass blocker and pass catcher. We will be still top 5 but will be more balanced next year.

Monty is solid, but it feels like they would've already extended him if they were going to bring him back. He is a career 3.9 YPC RB and in 2022 had a 4.0 average when Herbert led the league in YPC in the same offense. I wouldn't complain if they brought him back, but more for his work ethic than his performance on the field. Miles Sanders is a FA, and is coming from PHI where Cunningham came from. So it will be interesting to see the direction they go with this, or if they even address RB in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
