Oh well, not like this teams a RG away from a super bowl anyway. Then why make any moves? We were not a 14/season OLB away from a Super Bowl. We do not know what an improved OL would lead to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way you can get a fair evaluation of either QB is for them to be somewhat protected at least. If they dont sign him, they must have a lot of faith in one of the young guys that we just dont know about yet. BOLD PREDICTION: Deiter is going to be the man !

I'm fine with Whitehair, Daniels, and Idefi for one year. Massie is the one that scares me the most. I would love to get a replacement starter and keep him as depth though. But that's not going to happen this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been playing very long (5yrs). Ivy League smart and will outwork everybody else .... has prototypical size athleticism and IQ to dominate the position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCbear Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Maybe Ifedi can push Massie some at RT idk .... Would love a stud L or RT, Massie and Leno are weakest links RB is our biggest hole. What is Pace up to at RB ?? Figured he would have signed one of the remaining FAs already, unless he is waiting for one that he believes will be released ?

Man, I'm really hoping Pace is looking at either Lamar Miller or Freeman. I know there is injury concerns and because of COVID-19 they can't really evaluate things right now but I'm hoping that things start to ease up a bit in regards to restrictions and Pace can bring them in and atleast consider it.

I think Freeman is ideal. Like you said he has injury concerns but that was when he was the primary RB. I suppose he could work into that here if Montgomery underwhelms, but off the bat he'd be getting far less looks than he was in Atlanta.

I have NO IDEA what he is doing about RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCbear Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 ^ maybe our GM is learning to have some patience after all ha RBs are plentiful and some will be released no way Nall is the answer !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NO IDEA what he is doing about RB Probably for the same reason other teams haven't and that's because like I said they can't do regular testing with COVID-19 restrictions put in place right now. That said, Freeman would be an upgrade, no doubt, but only in the sense that he is a better outside runner than Montgomery is. He is not pass catching RB who is good on routes outside of your basics. This is why I think Miller would be the better choice but Miller ALSO has injury concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise there We don’t know that it is an improvement. We hope it is, but Ifedi hasn’t been good. We assume it will be because Long was so bad. Improvement by default. I would have like to have seen an improvement compared to an average NFL OL play. Improving from horrendous to bad isn’t something I choose to celebrate, but then again some of us have standards and some of us are a Pace burner account.
