Welcome New OG Matt Feiler

[ghost]

FI-ler. Long I. According to him.

I heard the pronunciation on Daniel Popper's live YouTube show. So, FILER. Two syllables. Correct?

[Bolt Dude]

Feiler covers their ass when Bulaga goes down.

They still need two guards....one in the draft, and another who will come cheap and with whom they are familiar.

Feeney/Lamp?

Don't count them out!
:deadhorse:

I hope we can count them out. Let’s start fresh and rebrand the culture of our OL.

There’s still a lot of better guards available:

Austin Blythe
Larry Warford
Nick Easton
Jermaine Eluemunor
Kyle Long
Germain Ifedi
Gabe Jackson

Matt the "D" Feiler

You're welcome.

Great pick up.
Our starting OLG and ability to play ORT.

Seems that he was better at RT than LG. Makes me wonder if he can play LT as well. I know Bulaga never played LT. Just trying to see how we can maximize the OL positions.

Feiler has 40 career starts. He played left guard last year but has previous experience at right tackle. Feiler did not have a great year in 2020, but playing offensive line for the Chargers offers a low bar to clear, and he has positional versatility. He was 91st on our free agency big board.

Said a while back too, won't be surprised if Bulaga starts at guard. Imagine Feiler is the better tackle.

Quoted from a fan in a Steeler forum:
"if the Chargers put him back at RT and he performs well like he did for the Steelers in the past it’s a good deal for them."

Nice. Big guys lose athleticism before they lose strength
savvy vet like Bulaga would make sense to move to RG imo, vs LG.
would be lock step with Linsley while the younger Feiler mans RT

left side TBD

Was curious how Feiler and Villanueva looked from a chemistry perspective. Found this little video. I like how the 2 work with each other. Feiler has some heavy hands. I like his punch and replace.

Fwiw my cousin Ravens fan said Villanueva gave the Ravens D the most problems.
Maybe a reunion coming

You could do a lot worse than those 2 manning the left side for around 20M per. I like the idea of the chemistry thing.

Villaneuva is the pricey name with declining play type of free agent I really don't have interest in. He was a turnstile last year at left taco and we sure don't need another one of those. You paid for the name and past performance on that one.

Could be however I think it's going to be the case where Bulaga starts at right tackle and Feiler at LG. Feiler is a huge upgrade to shift over when Bulaga misses any time.
