Good one ☝️ -
lot to address here.... in the big pic, still find it hard to believe that the NFL has much if any interest in hosting an NFL playoff game in a two bit soccer stadium.Originally posted by Dale SeasonTix View Post
and the Oline is a result of FO decisions gone by.... we spent FA monies on Travis B. instead of investing in the likes of Bobby Massie, and ditto for spending draft capital of seven overall on MW in lieu of Ryan Ramczyk (and you can retort that no one knew, and yet.... some of us were lobbying hard all along).
instead of trading a draft pick (of which we should be stockpiling.... NE is gonna have about 13 picks next draft btw), think we should be looking at moving MG3 for a lineman.... my thought/target would be OCorey Linsley in GB.
will also add that 'tis not uncommon for frosh/soph to be lower rated by PFF, than in years to follow.... think Feeney is gonna be just fine, and Sam could surprise as well.
ps. next year's draft appears thin @the OT position.... (hopefully we pick/ante up for an IOL in next year's draft).RT Taliese Fuaga, DT Jer'Zhan Newton, NT T'Vondre Sweat, LB Cedric Gray, TE Ben Sinnott, RB Daijun Edwards, FS Cole Bishop, QB Joe MiltonComment

Scott - Lamp - Feeney - Schofield - Tevi had a solid outing to start PS 1 vs Ari.
Sure, it's PS 1 and yes, it was Ari but I've seen projected Chargers OL just shredded in 1st quarter of PS 1 by nobody special in the past.
It's an improvement.
There may be reason to hope that Lynn & co may have a workable OL plan in place.
TBD.Comment

I'm not sure Tevi and Schofield are the solution on the right side.Originally posted by sonorajim View Post
Sure that Pouncey is a starter on that line but where?
If it's at C, the battle at G is open between Lamp, Feeney and Schofield.
Is it Feeney or Qberry the backup C of that team?
Find a real LT and put Scott at RT waiting for Okung's return.Comment

Not sure why Whiz doesn't even try playing out OL guys at their preferred positions ...
Lamp played LT in college, Freeney played RG in college and Scho played RT previously ... so why not try:
Lamp - ?? - Pouncey - Freeney - Scho
or
Scott - Lamp - Pouncey - Freeney - SchoComment

Everything else is up in the air.
Lamp's play "was improving" during the preseason game according to Lynn. Not necessarily an endorsement.
Schofield's play was typically underwhelming. Why he is locked in at RG is beyond me.Comment

I agree, Pouncey has been a C his entire career. More playing time in these pre-season games should get Lamp ready. The dudes a road grader on the running plays but still needs work on the passing plays. I wish they'd give Feeney a shot at RG.Originally posted by powderblueboy View PostTHE YEAR OF THE FLIP!Comment

gonna amend the above, as now have OG Lane Taylor in my sites as a potential roster casualty in GB, and.... don't think they have interest in adding $13m @RB (who does ?), and.... would volunteer that we are fairly set @tackle, and that if we can slot Schofield in as our swing tackle, and given that Pouncey might be limited, and sooner than later, why not have an interior of Lamp, Feeney and Taylor ??Originally posted by beachcomber View Post
think that's where the focus needs to be.... w/the IOL.

FWIW, Daniel Popper of The Athletic projects the starting oline to be Scott, Lamp, Pouncey, Schofield and Tevi.

It's a mystery. Why draft guys who excelled at one position in college and justified you drafting them and then put them in another position?Originally posted by Big Dog View PostComment
