Offensive Line Discussion

[blueman]

Let's move Lamp to his original position.. LT. Try out Quessenbery at LG if Pouncey comes back. Quessenbery looked serviceable at the C position, he might do the same at LG.

Lamp-Quess-Pouncey-Turner-Bulaga (Iowa)

Yeah, I’m very curious how Lamp might do at LT. Let him and Pip battle it out.

I'd be more excited about Pipkin if I hadn't seen him play last year. I thought he had good foot speed but no concept of how to stay in front of a pass rusher. IMO, he was completely lacking in the experience required to compete at this level.

Which is one reason I liked this year's draftees, they had extensive experience starting and competing at the highest level of college football. They have the background to play at this level.

We knew that was why they wanted to redshirt Pipkin last year. Okung's medical issues changed that. Hopefully a year of seasoning helps him out more. He was raw but the idea was that he didn't have as much bad habits to unlearn as a more experienced prospect. Though I still think a veteran LT like Peters or even Glenn would be helpful for his continued development now that Okung is gone.

Campen, OL Asst David Diaz-Infante , Bulaga; Turner are new Pro NFL assets to Pipkins' development.
Campen has a good record for developing young OL.
Not to say a vet starter at LT wouldn't probably help the W-L in early season but playing Pip is the best way to develop him. It's been a year and a lot of experience already. Now he has a championship level vet coach. If the raw material was any good, he'll be better

Bring him in TT! Sidenote: the way this is footage is shot makes it look like an old school movie lol.

Peters says he is going to play into his 40s. IMO, he feels like the right fit for our OL right now. I continue to believe he will be a Bolt.

I continue to believe he will be a Bolt.

I hope so, but this article doesn't mention the Chargers as one of the teams talking with him. It's such an obvious hole to fill. But it sounds like they want to give a chance to these young lineman they have.

I've kind of given up on them signing Peters. I think he'd be a nice improvement but I think you nailed it - they intend to use the young guys. If they find one of them that can do well it'll be a big step forward but if not, we can expect another long season.

Give a chance to Tevi? Give a chance to Scott? They've had their chances and failed badly.
Give a chance to Storm Norton? He's a scrub.

Pipkens will have his chance...right now, he's not ready to compete to hold down the starting LT position. They can still use him at swing tackle.

Lamp is the only one that would make sense; but you know that's not what they have planned.

Telesco/Lynn insist on getting bit on the butt by bad LT play.....they'll just roll the pocket right all day.

Getting Peters makes too much sense.

[wu-dai clan]

There ain't gonna be no Jason Peters.
Pipkins, meet me in the weight room...it's Superset Wednesday.
Tevi...shuffle on over to the bench.

The Chargers will give
Forrest Lamp and Dan Feeney
every opportunity
to show why
they should be resigned.

[SuperCharged]

Pouncy medically cleared to play. A little good news.

[sonorajim]

Pipkins will start at LT. He outplayed Okung, allowing the trade for Turner. We have Pro Bowlers at C-RG-RT.
I'd consider Warford but maybe Campen can do something with our trash at LG.
