Tom Savage a no business being on an NFL roster and they picked him to back up their 40 year old QB? I just as confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention he could play any position on the OLine well. I have seen him take snaps at every position and you never heard me saying, "Man he is not opening any running lanes" or "Guys are getting right past him" or "Snap timing is off". Dude is just consistent. He won't really wow you anywhere. But he will bring consistency to whatever position he is playing. Sorry to see him leave, but you guys are getting a great guy. Do you think he can play LT full time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navysaintsfan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Just now, amazingandre said: Do you think he can play LT full time? Maybe. I will say of all the positions he plays, I think he excels most at G. LT full time may be asking a lot. But who knows, when given the chance he may show he is better than I think.

I think asking him to start at T could be asking a lot, but he has done it before. I think he is capable, but not a future Pro Bowler if you know what I mean. I could be wrong though.

Pastor Dillon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 We just signed Fulton to start at one of the guard positions. If this guy can start at the other, then we will have our interior line figured out. We will just need to get a couple tackles. Maybe sign Justin Pugh to start at RT, and resign Chris Clark to play LT, or maybe we like what we have seen out of Davenport. I dont see henderson starting, but who knows. Either way, we have upgraded the offensive line significantly already this off season. Filo literally cost us at least 2 of the first 7 games.

He’s a fantastic backup. if he’s your starter you probably won’t notice him but that’s not always bad edit: he did play center in TC and preseason. He’s also only missed one game in 3 seasons and played in all 16 last year good signing by you guys 26 minutes ago, navysaintsfan said: I know I am. Dude seemed to be an incredible locker room guy.

Appreciate the feedback, and I think you guys already covered whether or not he could play LT. I like to believe the plan is to play him at G, alongside Martin and Fulton, with Henderson competing with Newton at RT and Davenport/Allen competing at LT (save for the disasterous 4th down v Tennessee, Allen looked somewhat competent at LT). Overall, you've revamped the line with two new starters on the interior and another guy out right, all for about $20mm less than what the Giants paid for Nate Solder. Granted, these guys could be big disappointments and it could still be money wasted, but we won't know that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we still find one more CB/DB - Tyrann Mathieu would make this a very good FA period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Fido retiring saves us how much money? by my calculation, we still have a ton of money we can spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 So our offensive line currently consists of T - Davenport, Henderson, Newton, Lamm, G - Fulton, Allen, Kelemete, slade, Quessenberry, C - Martin, Mancz, Fuller we really need another tackle, at the very least bring back clark and draft a guy in the 3rd round. I am not sure we currently have a starting level tackle. Maybe Allen will swing out there. currently our best starting 5 would be Allen/Fulton/Martin/Mancz/Kelemete ......move Kelemete to guard and start Henderson at RT, and we might be the same. ideally we find a LT and move Allen to RG and Kelemete to RT. either way, the line is better than it was last season.

Fido reduced his cap hit down to $790,000 (think he was due roughly $5.1mm) and received a $229,000 advance. $4.3mm saved. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying he was our best CB last year is like saying Sam Dekker is the best out of Bobby Brown, Markel Brown, and RJ Hunter. We need to sign EJ Gaines.
