Welcome Coach Butch Barry - Fixing the Offensive Line

[dmac_bolt]

I think more of it has to do with how some NFL teams view C. They think that you can get by with some TOUGH, smart guys, if you can get the right guys around him. That's my theory and I am sticking to it. Plus, as I like to point out, there were not a lot of other options. Better the Devil you know .... and I do think they wanted the toughness more than anything at first.

Boze had one saving grace. In H&H 1st season, late in games, Boze was able to drive guys off the ball when they were tired and legs were whipped. He got movement and really helped to open up the holes that broke the long runs that Dobbins won some games for us. That was Boze's element.

The fact that this year we hardly got in those moments because he was getting beaten left, right and center was the big problem. I don't think they were going to want Boze's much longer even if he had played better, but he was at the end of the line anyway.

That’s a better theory than most we’ve got around here. Nicely played.

LG Strange, Cleveland
OC Biadasz + Slaughter, Logan Jones, Brailsford, Bryce Foster, or....
RG Penning + Keylan Rutledge, Jalen Farmer, DJ Campbell, or....

will first share that am not a fanboy of many of the above listed, nor coach Barry, and even have my reservations 'bout McD a time or coupla few of late, and.... will say that am looking forward to what the transition team can do w/the above listed.

we are moving from Gro/Devlin to McD/Barry, and am looking forward to see what they can do w/these guys and what kinda chops they got when developing/working w/this purportedly piss poor makeshift of an IOL.

save for a coupla few on the list, think the most of these guys are perfect for Butch Barry, and will be the tell tale tell all as to how we fare this next season.

decisions have been made, and the suggestion is that Tyler is an upgrade to Bradley, that one of these guys will be an upgrade to Mekhi, and given the disdain for Zion, not sure that Barry can't coach one of these guys up enough to mollify some of the others within this fan base.... tbd.

and pls spare us any myopic over reaction, as we are charged w/fielding an entire roster, and if this unit can hold its own, we know we have talent in other areas, not to mention right next door @tackle.

we also have the second wave of FA after the draft, and post June 1st cuts, and roster cuts before the season starts.... no need to wrangle an inadvertent signing that mimics the mistake made w/Mekhi.... all in good time friends.

let Butch cook....
