IMO, no horse in the race, I think sliding that particular situation ends up really bad for him. The DT to his right launches himself at Daniels knees, if he slides, he is likely dealing with a concussion and the DT is ejected for targeting. As I didn't watch this game and am unfamiliar with this play, does anyone know if he got hurt on this play or missed any time? I'm not advocating for him to hurdle into a pile of defenders, but the result almost seems best case scenario if he didn't get injured. In my mind he gets knocked out of the game if he slides there.

He did not miss any time. I don’t know whether he got hurt — he was pretty unimpressive in this game after this hit, but he was also pretty unimpressive before this hit. So think he was fine, physically, after getting blasted. It was the next week, when he lit up Grambling, that the light bulb seemed to come on and he started dominating people. I will note that he did leave multiple games after this with injuries. But one of those was a concussion that was the result of a pretty cheap hit in/near the pocket by Dallas Turner, so it’s hard to blame his play style for that one. Just his small frame (and enormous head)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the staff can figure out something to protect whatever young man they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 5 picks in the top 100 . and still time to sign cuts and free agents . Chill 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill 😋 By all accounts, the decision makers have stated (through media outlets) they are comfortable with Lucas/Scott battling it out at LT. Absolutely could add some help in the draft, but unless we trade up for an OT, we aren't likely to get a day 1 starter, IMO. I believe there are 10 day 1 starters (not all LTs) as well, they just will all most likely go in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I knew he couldn't fix the mess that Ron Rivera left overnight. I expect us to be truly competitive in year 3. I think he has made huge gains (and Mariota 🤮)so far this offseason. Hopefully we can sign someone like Becton or Bakhtiari to an incentive laden one-year deal and they can be healthy enough to give us solid play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main concern with him - as it was with RG3 in 2012 - is the decision. Why did he go airborne? Why jump? This just concerns me the most about him. Now Maye doesn't do it every time - he has some hero attitude too instead of protecting himself - but I've seen Drake Maye slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's provable that one of Mims, Jordan, Barton & Paul are available for us at #36 or more than 1 of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Just now, offbyone said: Do you think the current oline is better or worse overall than last year? I would definitely take this offensive line over last year's. I would also like to substantiate that by saying last year's was on a breakneck pace for being one of the worst in history. To quantify that, if our line received a rating out of 10 last year it would probably be a 2/10. At this point I could see us getting a 4 or 5/10, which while better than last year is still suboptimal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just concerns me the most about him. Now Maye doesn't do it every time - he has some hero attitude too instead of protecting himself - but I've seen Drake Maye slide. Again, if you watch the video, a defender is diving at his legs. If he slides he likely gets hit with a targeting-style tackle. If he just takes the hit, maybe an acl is blown. I'm not advocating for a QB to hurdle like that, but I see that as a likely best case scenario if he didn't end up hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's provable that one of Mims, Jordan, Barton & Paul are available for us at #36 or more than 1 of them. Not 10 OL, 10 OTs. I'm still pretty solid on this stance as well. Whether they draft a college OT and slide them inside to OG I don't care. This is a very talented OT group. Alt, Fashanu, Fuaga, Mims, Latham, Guyton, Fautanu, Morgan, Suamataia and Amegadjie are all instant starters at tackle IMO. That doesn't include Barton who I am pretty sure will slide inside to Guard. Fautanu may slide inside as well, but I think he can be successful at Tackle. Paul, Fisher and Puni could all end up going in the 2nd as well for a total of 13 OTs in the first 60 picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
