Mongo3451 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Was scrolling and found the below. I don't think we'll be heavily investing in OL next year. Trapillo looks like he's ready to be the guy. Benedet can be the next man up at all five positions. If Kiran gets his act together, we're deep for the next two years...

Stinger226 Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago This is our OL for the next two years and we have the backups on the team already. Kiran, Theo, Newman . I think they bring McFadden and Stromberg back for the other OL backup spots. I didnt see the investment of Johan Jackson as a good idea at the start of the season but he is cooking now. LT was the weak spot and Ozzy and Theo will compete there next yr. Kiran may be back in the race , injuries has slowed his progress. I dont expect a high pick for the OL in the next draft.

If he continues to progress of course you're right but I though even as a rookie, he would start at LT after the Jones injury but Theo forced his way in there. I am not going to count him out although I just looked and he isnt signed for next year. There may be a few teams to give him a few bucks considering how tough the LT spot is hard to fill. I think with our success a lot of players will want to come back here even on a minimum deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not perfect but there won’t be any looking back now because any team can win with how well he is playing right now. It only gets better from here. I’m watching this film a second time because it is fun watching Darnell against Jalen Carter. It’s fun watching Dalman against Jordan Davis so might need to have a 3rd view. This Dline is very talented so our guys did not win on every snap but they won the vast majority of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago That's a good tape. You have to watch it several times to get to see every Lineman play. Ozzy definitely has improved over the beginning of the season. I think one year of him getting stronger will help him a lot. Some people judge a player by a few of their worst plays but I think you have to look at the over all game of that Player. This is probably the most talented DL we face all year. Nolan Smith, Davis, Carter and Phillips . No OL will ever look good all the time against them but its the results that matter. 281 rushing the ball. Philly hasnt given up that yardage since the 1970s. Theo is healthy now and to give the start to Ozzy does say something to back up your statement. Expectations and patience is important in watching a team grow. Lots of fans wanted another RB with Swift and not drafting a RB until the 7th round. In comparison Swift is not as good as Gibbs and I think Monangai has more sting than Montgomery. This has turned out to be excellent choices for BJs offense. I think they get Swift to redo his contract next year for cap relief because players are going to want to stay here because of BJ and our success. Poles rebuilt the OL in one year with the addition of Ozzy, Thuney, Dalman, Jackson and the improvement of Wright. This happened w/o having to draft a LT with our first two picks of which a lot of pundits wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
