He was never a top 7 corner playing meaningful snaps besides like 2 games. Herbig has over 800 snaps and allowed only 2 sacks and is only 22 years old. I don’t know what you’re missing but he was not the issue, Pryor and peters was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 One thing I think we can all agree on is that the offensive line is in great shape moving forward. There are zero resources that need to be spent there with how many young guys played and played well there when forced into extensive action. As long as we don't set another record for starting combinations within the unit, we should have one of the best top to bottom for the next few years.

Well all things considered, and Brooks coming back makes it way better. But I think spending like a third on an IOL who can play center or just an outright center could be in the cards. If Kelce doesn’t retire this year he will probably the year after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSean Jackson Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 If we go with Dillard I’m sure we won’t have any problem getting a 1st for Mailata with the way he played and his freak athleticism, only 23. I want him to be our future though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, somewhat to help shore up IOL for when Kelce leaves. If he's out this season I expect Seumalo to slide in and Herbig to man LG. Should be a good unit overall with Driscoll and Dillard battling for RT heir apparent. And then a drafted guy to learn behind Brooks alongside Prince. But man, I wouldn't be mad if Sewell fell in our laps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if they really are out on Dillard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a center is the only spot I'd be okay with spending a pick since nobody but Kelce has gotten legitimate reps there for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 So is Driscoll more of a guard or a tackle? Seems like he played both equally this year, and equally well at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can't sustain this level of play in the future, but I think you are underrating just how good he has been this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been impressive and is definitely a part of the plan moving forward. The only path I see for him is at LG with Seumalo sliding to C if Kelce retires. With that being said, I definitely wouldn't just hand Herbig the LG job without competition. Maybe Herbig vs. Driscoll for LG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Herbig vs. Driscoll for LG? For sure, and if Herbig is a backup next year then I think that just shows the interior line is in really good shape.

IrishHooligan00 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I feel Kelce will retire with how this last game went. You can just tell how pissed he was. Doug P gonna have a huge issue with players losing respect for him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think it's accurate to say that this team has young OL talent. I know everybody is down on our overall young talent, but I think it's hard to argue the potential of this OL moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
