AFlaccoSeagulls Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm starting to think Marlon is going to end up on IR this week or next. Harbaugh won't provide any updates on him, whereas he provided updates on both Alex Lewis and James Hurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It should be noted that Jermaine Eluemunor isn't going back to the Practice Squad. Getting out of a game at Left Tackle is the equivalent of being named to the Pro Bowl with how bad OL play is across the league in 2018. Look for Gus Edwards to be cut pretty soon here.

Definitely not. He might have secured the backup LT(+) spot for another season or two. It's hard to find someone serviceable there on the cheap.

With the exception of Nico Siragusa who never got a chance and is still showing the effects of a severe injury. No player from our 2017 class is playing poorly.

Danand Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Eluemanor quickly went from disposabel to valuable. He does have some size to him, and maybe that is enough for him to be a swing tackle. The knock on him was his lack of experience and that he could have heavy feet which is why he was projected at guard. Speed rushers might be an issue, but every backup tackle has some weaknesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously one of the major knocks on Orlando was that he isn't as strong against speed rushers, and some fan made a comment basically saying "Well how many Right Tackles actually excel against big time speed rushers?". Sometimes you have to accept the realities of a position/player, and focus not on what they can't do- but what they can. Then just put them in the best possible position to succeed.

Although I believe the speed rusher argument against Orlando Brown was somewhat a made up argument, as Brown just engulfs those players. Even a tackle with great feet and balance will have difficulties against a speed end in a wide 9 system. Browns combination of strength and length is what makes him able to shut down all types of pass rushers even though he doesn't move with grace. (I am very much in the Orlando Brown fan base).

Then hope it gels into a better unit than what we've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 So Canady and Dixon are the designated to return players this year. Surprised the team is bringing Kenneth back this year, but carrying four back isn't terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
