It's one of those things that when/if it happens, all we will want to focus on in the offseason is how bad he was at tackling at stopping the run. Then I can see our defense falling apart at the seams as Takitaki gets swallowed by offensive guards and has 0 instincts in coverage. Just my feel about how that situation will go. We could be ok if it happens, but I don't really wanna find out. Tretter probably is more important at this point, but I have Schobert as a much higher priority than Randall. So if we can keep 2/3 that's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what they were thinking and ever after the draft in the press conferences they couldn’t explain their reasoning. if your going back to that please repost all the other ones of me calling it stupid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is really good, but asking a guy to play every defensive snap of a game, especially in the front 7 seems extreme. All Im saying is that if the coaches thought Takitaki was good to go--he would at least be subbing out Schobert for a breather 5-8 snaps per game.

Zo HighSmith thought he was a Center from the beginning b/c of his slow feet. Eliot Wolf thought he could play Tackle. Will be interesting to see where the Rams try him out. It's another reminder lesson to myself; don't draft an OL even if they have nastiness and violent hands (as Corbett did) if they don't have good feet. We'll either start him at LG or use him as a backup G/C. I wouldn't be surprised if he develops into a solid player for us. Kromer really excels with high IQ OLs who have great hands. He took Austin Blythe from getting cut by a Colts team with a bad OL (at that point) to a solid RG. And he has had a lot of success throughout his career developing college OTs into quality OGs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a backup right now but he will develop into a decent player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be an average guard in his career but he could reach that at center. I mean, Kush is a lot better at guard than him.

By far the worst on our line. Worse than Cam Erving. Not saying PFF is good at judging O-Linemen but I think it is fair to say Kush is average overall at the very best and that is probably extremely generous. Yet Corbett was given every opportunity to win the RG spot failed miserably to Kush, which makes you believe Corbett is either a long way from being ready, won't ever be ready or we can't tell the difference in ability at the O-Line position. I'm leaning towards one of the first two. He did look better at center, serviceable even some of the time. Was dominated there too some of the time though. I'll take the 5th and try to turn it into something, those chances are better than with Corbett imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
