    If he can’t sub in for one of the worst OGs in league when he’s got one functioning arm, gotta wonder if he’s worth keeping.

      Salyer played both T and G at Georgia so he should be ready faster. Guard will be a good position to watch this pre-season.
      Yep...the Bolts have this weird habit of drafting O-linemen, then SWITCHING them to a totally new position...Jaimes, Lamp, Feeney...sometimes it works, but unfortunately in our case, it frequently doesn't...

        I think they are doing it again with Salyer :facepalm1:

            He was a rookie drafted in the 5th round that was under weigh and learning a new position. Giving up on him after a year is silly to put it nicely.

              Some players don’t have the profile to play their main college position. Salyer at least played different positions in college.

                Maybe the issue with the earlier guys changing position is that they got thrown to the wolves too quickly? Just a thought.

                  I agree but they also chose to sign off the street, and play Kelemente instead of Jaimes.
                  Hopefully Jaimes takes a big step forward this season.

                    That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Staley seems almost adamant about giving rookies time to develop.

                      I think this is the reason we haven’t seen Jaimes yet.

                        Yep...all Salyer did was play solid RT at Alabama...now, there's talk of kicking him inside to G...I say, let him duke it out for RT in TC with Pip and Storm, and may the best man win...
