For Rebuild Year One - The OL Isn't That Bad

[Real fan 02]

Maybe this is another Wallace... LOL

 

[Zuma]

Come on Zuma I can't be right about everything lol lol

Wallace has been on both sides but the majority of the time was on the right. OTA’s and mini’s.

Did you get the attachment?

You can’t rely on rookies until they prove you can. Maybe…

I thought Wallace would has been the LT.. but Zuma clarified that for me..

The Wolf said he was going to play left…but he’s been mostly on the right…so it’s confusing. I’m confused…and this happens quite frequently.

Yeah.. we are all confused fans sometimes.. lol.. but camp is around the corner, and I just want the best guy protecting drake's blindside.. we have some capable players they just need to be steady.. AVPS offense also helps the O line as well.

I generally agree, though he also ranks the Dallas OL 28th, just two of his points ahead of ours!

 

[captain stone]

Question? What if... maye overwhelmingly shows he's qb1... do you then sit him?

If the OL, especially LT, is still a sieve, then heck yeah.

Well.. at least we aren't last...

How the mighty have fallen.. didn't Dallas have the best o line in the league not to long ago?

If you ain't first, you're last.

Okorafor when he was a Steeler RT (with Klemm as line coach until he was replaced for the last few games) - this is a discussion of his fit for a wide zone scheme:

Dan Moore Jr, Kendrick Green and Chuks Okorafor are all fairly athletic. All, too, have displayed limitations. Moore and Green both struggled with scheme and strength as rookies, while Okorafor lacked power at the point of attack.

This is actually from a decent piece on the wide zone scheme:

In Part 2 of this series we dive into why the outside zone play will be critical to the success of the 2022 Steelers offense.

You are not confused. That is what happened.

Onwenu was announced and paid to be the RT of the future and then the Pats slid him back to RG.

The Pats' front office is who is confused, not you.

Second place is like kissing your sister. Let's not talk about what "not last place" is like.

Could be a one-year thing. Bridge too far to try the rookie Wallace at LT, and so if you want "best 5" that moves Onwenu to guard for now. Depending how he does as RT, maybe Wallace switches to LT next year and Onwenu moves back to RT.

Onwenu at guard would be the third most highly paid Right Guard, well behind Lindstrom and Hunt, with guaranteed payments a bit over half of those guys. He'd be the fourth most highly paid RT, well behind Sewell and Taylor and a bit behind Lane Johnson (but more guaranteed). So the contracts at the top of RT and RG not all that different.

whaever. I guess it is critical whether Onwenu is the 3rd highest paid RG or the 4thhighest paid OT.

YES until you see what you have in the OLINE and skill players.

Yes.

But don’t worry, he won’t overwhelmingly show he’s QB1 if the OL is a sieve, he’ll be too busy throwing it away to make any other throws.

keeping him safely benched will keep him from developing bad habits and becoming Corky V2.

1. It was not a bridge too far after the draft when Wolf announced Wallce would move to LT. Some of us laughed at the draft pick and the suggestion to switch to LT. Now it is a bridge too far for 2024? Why didn't you mention that at the draft like some of us did? Glad you are being honest, beit a little late.
2. Everything seems to be changing a lot. It would be nice for everyone to be realistic when it was obvious a few months ago. Instead everyone argued that Wallace could switch to LT, or Okorafor would switch to LT. Now they are backpedaling.
3. Onwenu at RG is a only a small overpay so it is OK? At least the board is finally admitting we overpaid Onwenu.

Well your right.. then all our QB will struggle.. if the O line is I'm shambles it won't even matter.. so I'd rather Drake sit
