    I guess yer right...Pip's not great, but he's serviceable as a backup T...don't want him playing G, just T...BACKUP T...

      Fucking cockroach returns. Just can't get rid of him. Pipkins often injured, terrible run blocker,..... Well below average OT.
      I just don't get what's going on with the OL. They couldn't get a better swing turnstile than Pipkins? Sorry I just can't defend that. Think I'm gonna 🤮

        who did you have in mind for swing tackle? If we're going to insinuate that Hortiz is only interested in farming comps at least say who would've been a better swing...what swing is worth a 3rd round pick in your opinion?

          Salyer has performed admirably at LT in the 2 seasons that Slater has been out. I like him better at LT than Pipkins

            Salyer limits the types of plays you can call due to lack of athleticism...and that was the case in Roman's offense, now in this offense he'd never see the field...

              Pipkins is athletic?

                This is what blows my mind, all Pip has ever been is barely serviceable and he's spent his whole career on the Chargers?

                WHY? He's not even that athletic to fit McDaniel's O?

                What's up with Joe "one and done" Hortiz!

                      according to RAS Pipkins (7.43) is a much better athlete than Salyer (5.88) and had Pipkins not scored lower on the bench (19) and Salyer not scored so high on the bench (31) those scores would be even more lopsided...

                      If we're just confused as to why one guy is still unsigned and the other got a two year contract let the rest of the league be your guide as to Salyer's greatness...the great Salyer mythology has only grown more and more absurd since his rookie season...I might not be an expert but I am a notorious O-line watcher, I love to see the big guys battle always have ever since I got into the NFL as a little kid my favorite players were always linemen...

                      I'm going to give you my none expert opinion on Salyer...he's slow he's fat he's slow he's fat he's slow he's fat, if you want to see Salyer moving fast take him to a buffet...he might be a powerful man, heck, he might be a great arm wrestler, IDK, he could be one of the best night club bouncers in the whole country for all I know, I just know that he's got issues with his knees and it limits what he can do on a football field which puts a limit to what the team can run on offense, cut off Pipkins legs and put them on Salyer and then we're talking about a very solid tackle...

                      IDK, but if it wasn't for the Chargers, Salyer might've gone undrafted...one of my prime suspects for coach getting a shit grade on his report card because dude has issues with staying in shape and coach likes his players to be fit...I wish him well, I don't hate him...I just don't think he's got a future, knees are too fucked up IMO...literally walks around like a 70 year old...

                        What does everybody think of Dylan Parham at LG? Seems like a scheme fit?🤷🏻‍♂️
