THE OL REBUILD - IS STRANGE HEALTHY?

[203Pat]

You have no clue at all if or how much of this last paragraph is true. We know Kraft started the collaboration station back in 2021, came out and announced the draft would no longer be Bill's alone and they started inserting their opinions on coaching. "Bill is solely responsible" in your mind alone, and you're being willfully ignorant about meddling that clearly went on.

Oh okay. So you will shift the goalposts in order to deflect blame from Bill. You're right Bill did everything right in the last 5 years and everything that went wrong is someone else's fault. Carry on.

Kraft held a press conference in 2021 announcing the collaboration station, Wolf was hired, Mayo was held onto with two hands... all my imagination.

But you're probably right... the recent documentary really showed Kraft's support and admiration for Bill.

You guys have been using allot of words to say.
Mac Jones stinks.
Cole Strange could have potential injury issues.
Other than that it is allot of revisionist Mumbo Jumbo.
Bills gone and Mac’s gone.
Guess we will see how Cole fairs.

People like to use his draft position as some sort of cudgel. All us football experts and our keyboards.

While we debate our drafts and oscillate on Strange's bust status , a great article on Nick caserio and their drafting and off-season. I hope our 2024 season is 50% of that .

Caserio got lucky with Watson as browns gave them assets that allowed them to collect 10+ contributors on that trade and also escape on the bloated contract of a serial offender.

4 reasons Texans GM Nick Caserio deserves NFL Executive of the Year

Life changes quickly in the NFL. Just ask Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio. Not even a full year ago the Texans were amid their third consecutive season and at the bottom of the standings. Their 3-13-1 campaign and hiring of Lovie Smith had failed to build any…

Little Nicky Cesar would be out of a ****ing job if the Panthers weren't such ****ing m-m-morons.

. Jake Andrews is a far superior prospect if they planned on moving this kid to center so it was a wasted pick

I just barfed a little in my mouth.

Is this some sort of weird haiku attempt? Yes Mac was terrible. Cole Strange does have injury issues. Not sure what revisionist mumbo jumbo you're even talking about?

What we know to be true (maybe):
D. Andrews at C
Onwenu and Sow will start somewhere

Likely happening:
Okorafor at LT

Unlikely but would be awesome if it happened:
Wallace proves to be capable/solid at LT

Mystery:
Cole Strange. Healthy or not?? If healthy likely your LG.

Dream scenario if Wallace and Strange pan out:
LT: Wallace (if earned)
LG: Strange (if healthy)
C: Andrews (the old one)
RG: Sow (hopeful step forward)
RT: Onwenu (anchor of the line)

Depth:
T: Okorafor, Anderson
G: Levertt or Mafi, Robinson
C: J Andrews

My dream scenario would be a small edit from yours and that is sow being a capable RT allowing onwenu to move back to RG. Would gladly take your scenario though, that’s a pretty solid starting 5 and im quite comfortable with the depth at tackle.

 

[hornetfb85]

I’m wondering if the best course of action is:
To leave Wallace at his RT position where he seemed to be improving and excelling last year at PSU. Onwenu to RG, Sow to LG, and push through this year at LT until we get our long term replacement (W. Campbell/K. Banks) in 2025 draft.

LT: Man Charles Leno would be a fine 1 year stopgap, but likely Okorafor
LG: Sow
C: D. Andrews
RG: Onwenu
RT: Wallace

Maybe Strange can come back show that he can be the man at LG. Either way, Wallace at RT and Onwenubat RG might be the way to go.

Yep... There were almost a half-dozen Centers more highly-regarded than this dude was at the time he was taken.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

You're simultaneously predicting the future, while also passing off bad opinion as fact.

He's a bust... okay, you BB haters are legion, there are hundreds of you guys and Strange played the third most snaps on the entire offense the year before last and started ten games last year on an injured leg.

Surely there are YouTube videos dedicated to Cole Strange lowlights, videos of him being a bust... provide us with some examples, surely they exist?

You BB haters are silly people, you'd smear a young player just to tell us BB sucks... it's childish behavior at best.

I didn't reference BB. I merely commented on the strange suckiness for a first round pick but if that's the performance you expect for first round talent we're rolling.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

And you're a Bill ball washer to I guess we can all go back and forth until Strange is cut in another year.

Wozzy wants that guy franchised then signed to a league leading deal

It's actually funny the strange defenders as Mac was running for his life

Build a statue of Strange outside Gillette to symbolize Bill's drafting prowess. Maybe we can do a joint Brady/Strange appreciation day next month as well.

"No no it was all Mac!" Mac sucked but he was never in a position to succeed. Funny enough I remember the same homers on here arguing with me a few years ago when I dared claim Mac has a weak arm.

 

[PWRxWLF]

This can't be true. There have been players who did terribly with one team and then with a change of scenery/schemes/coaches, fulfilled their potential. Baker Mayfield and Steve Young off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are lots of better examples.

I agree with you. I was being sarcastic.

You wasn't the only one boy it took them a while to come around Mac who??

Fat chance of that happening and I have never seen a fat chance.

Cole's ego is still bruised.
