Offensive Line Free Agents Poll

[Boltgang74]

Agreed.TT is going to Have to be able to draft some good linemen.

[Bolt4Knob]

Feeney to the Jets
Lamp possibly to the Vikings or another team
Toner to the Texans
Trai Turner is out there still - was linked to the Seahawks until they traded for GAbe Jackson

Tevi - who knows - maybe he comes back just for a body at OT. I think of the four - he was the better than Lamp, Feeney and Turner.

But obviously - the words Telesco spoke just after the season were more "true in reality" than when he backtracked a couple weeks ago. He did what we all wanted him to do - blow it up, gut job rebuild to the OLine. And I still want more - one more free agent, two in the draft minimum, if not three. And a UDFA or two after the draft.

Dude heaves a sigh of relief.
No more disgustingly shitty tape to look at.
Feeney gone.
Lamp one foot out the door.
The rest of us can embrace the reset too.

I said I would be the last to admit Lamp is a bust.
Well, it's time.
Lamp is a bust.

We must develop young Olinemen.
Blank canvas.
Snaps in camp and in games are so scarce.

I keep seeing some make this excuse for Feeney. "He was a RG in college and playing out of possition".....so what? Feiler played LG and RT and did ok in Pittsbugh. Does anybody really think if Feeney is at RG he will suddenly be a better pass protector?

Feeney played LG his entire time here til he went to OC. He had plenty of time to get acclimated. He just isnt that good as a pass protector and that wont matter what side he is on.

Lamp was bad, Tevi was ok, better than Pipkins and if he wants to come back for a team friendly backup deal, he is the only one id take back. But i think all three are gone.

I do. That was essentially his first year starting full time at OC, line calls, snapping the ball and then blocking is much harder than having a true center on your left, making the calls and simply waiting for the snap.
Some guys can’t do it, all that partly what makes OC, to me the most valuable position on OL
wts, I would never want to take that risk, but I absolutely expect DF to be a significantly better RG in NYJ than OC here.

[21&500]

Yeah, fair enough.
At some point though we're going to need some home grown talent. FA's cost a lot more.

I think we can sell out on both considering they’re protecting our present and future most valuable player
Villanueva AND Darrisaw or whoever
we have a genius HC expected to make do on D

TT gotta start draftin better blank canvases.Enough trynna make chicken salad and all.He needs better lineman scouts apparently.

He wasnt a good pass protector at LG is what im saying so being at RG wont be any different, though being at OG instead of OC should help.

Chargers have signed Oday Aboushi
One year - $2m
played with the Lions last year
good depth piece
27th out of 92 OGs from PFF -

never heard of him but for $2m - will he be worse than Lamp or Feeney

I will say this about Telesco - he saw the biggest weakness on the team and is fixing it. Fixing the OL will help the entire team.

[Scott Green]

The biggest weakness on this team was the head coach and coaching staff . Tom did fix that alright.

Speaking of weaknesses...our kicker. Honey Badger was retained. Lets see if TT's run of kickers doing well after their rookie season continues.

As for Oday, noticeable improvement over Feeney!!

You mean “Money Badger” that later turned into “Bancrupt Badger” :lol:

[RTPbolt]

I bet we bring in an undrafted kicker or two or one released...better get Badge competing to see if he has corrected the awful mechanics of last year. Competition will expose him or bring another to our radar that might be better. I like Badge but he fell apart last year...got to earn your spot brother!

back on topic...i can see them evaluating Pipkins to see if hes going to produce in his what 3rd year? Has some tools but needs coaching and dedication to earn his spot. I think we must draft another OT anyway in third round or higher for development...we hired older vets so just must create talent thru youth so when those vets leave we arent just going FA again.
