He now has a a few weeks of practice to build off of this month before camp starts. When guys like Thuney say he's strong, don't rule him out once the pads come on. Yeah I dont hold last season against Amagadje. For me, he and Trapilo are both basically rookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago 6 hours ago, BearFan PHX said: I dunno how you can say that. until they get the pads on it's way too early to evaluate the LT, and we still need a dominant pass rusher. Also, while I am optimistic about Monongai, he is a 7th round pick, and I dont know that he is about to set the league on fire either. I think you can say we have players we hope will fill in at LT and HB, but that's about it at this point. And we absolutely need a top DE, maybe next year? I do think Trapilo COULD be the answer at LT, but I need to see it in pads first. I go by what the coaches say. BJ doesnt seem to be the type that blows smoke up your dress. I believe he is making honest statements. PLUS, they arent going out and adding people at those posistions. The pads will be the truth but I think things are looking up by the positive coaching statements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the guys we have and the next thing is to see what they look like in pads, and then you look to make moves after that - that the rhythm of the draft / free agency cycles every year. I'm just saying, I cant do this narrative driven "everything amazing" stuff every year. I am hopeful and optimistic about the roster for sure, but i cant tell you who our starting LT is yet, so i cant judge it and say its good yet either?

Mongo3451 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I do like that Ben had praise for Dom Rob, Hyppolite and Monongai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just not ready to say we have a complete roster, especially regarding DE, but while i HOPE beyond hope that we have a good LT on the roster, I just want to see it comfirmed in pads. I cant go in for sunshine and rainbows after all these years! But does everything we know look good so far? Absolutely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams have enough talent at positions to cover the gaps. We're still finding out who our blue chips are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course I want those chickens to hatch well. Just too early for me to call them all successes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
