Caedan Wallace?

[Pape]

Got it. He was at LG right? He filled in for strange I think?

i think you are correct... but honestly, i don't remember.

 

[Real fan 02]

i think you are correct... but honestly, i don't remember.

I just remembered him at LG where he was pretty sound.. I'm thinking

Campbell LT
Strange LG
Bradbury C
Ownenu RG
Moses RT

Feeling like that is what we'll see.

 

[Water Boy]

One of the most disappointing aspects of our team building in recent years is the amount of draft capital we have invested in the O-line with little to no return. A 6th round flier on Onwenu was the only real success we've had. It's ridiculous to think that we need we can't a serviceable, to good starter out of:

Strange
Sow
Mafi
Wallace
Robinson

Injury obviously derailed Strange's career. He was ok but not great in his first year in a gap running scheme, but he's more of a zone scheme o line man.

 

[EMpats]

I don't understand this propensity from some of the fanbase to convince themselves and others - the people they SAW, with their OWN EYES, completely suck as part of the worst offensive line of the past 20 ****ing years, and they're somehow good, or just need more time.

What is this about?

You think it’s more rational to pass final judgment on a player SIX games into their nfl career, than to allow them time to develop?

 

[Ross12]

Don't worry about your blinsside Drake..

I do think all the chatter about Campbell’s measurables could give him a big chip on his shoulder. He’s already a strong locker room presence. While I doubt he will ever be a top LT in the league, I could see the circumstances making him into a great leader on the team.

Yes! I was listening to Barth who mentioned Vrabel and others in the organization are big fans of Campbell and he impressed on his Visit.. he feels like the "right " choice... his attitude, his tenacity is what this OL needs. We just need a solid starter at LT.. I have no faith in verderian lowe..

 

[State]

I’m not putting a lot of faith in Wallace or Layden Robinson, in past drafts they would have been drafted later than they were.

The play of Robinson at RG was cause for hope. Dominant run blocker. He was confused at LG.

Wallace had attitude problems at Penn State. Being late for meetings, etc. He did improve a lot his senior year according to his OL coach.

Many of us are hoping Moses gives him the Big Brother guidance. But at RT. He’s not ready to be a swing tackle unless in a dire emergency.

 

[State]

Will Campbell’s tenacity is what this OL needs.

True. Not getting it from fatso Onwenu. BTW, is he going to report to camp grossly overweight for a third straight year? Inquiring minds want to know.

Being so fat early last season is why they gave up on him as RT. He lost too much lateral movement ability.

Sure but not at 4. Draft Hunter then trade back up, I mean Richie Incognito is nice but won’t have coordinators up all night.

 

[Ring 6]

Wolf may well be a moron, but his statements about Wallace being a LT came because of the Penn St. O-line Coach having stated that Wallace took snaps as the LT2 for 4 years at Penn St. But would THAT GUY know about O-line, right?

I’ve never seen anyone claim a guy was qualified to be an NFL LT because his college OL coach says he would have been the backup there if needed.
Great evaluation but you left out that his mother says he is smart, works hard and damn good looking.

Fatassian Lowe keeps DCs up all night, celebrating.

 

[Ring 6]

Moses is still a solid player at his age.. I think Vrabel was leaning more towards the leader and person Moses is and what he can do for the young guys. Wallace and Robinson were rookies that had a HC that frankly had no business being one. I'd be willing to see what they can develop into as they were rookies.. also part of the OL vrabel resign Jacobs and brown.. that is admission from the team that coaching was piss poor.

“The person he is” was Mayo garbage.
Moses was signed because he was the best RT we could find.
We have no evidence he is a leader for a guy who develops young people.
Whether it’s true or not is coincidental.

 

[hornetfb85]

I’m thinking they plant Robinson back in his natural position of RG. Hopefully Onwenu lights a fire and reverts back to his earlier form. If not, Robinson takes over next year and Onwenu is gonzo.

He is said to have been and excellent leader and one of the main reasons he was signed. While I agree he was the best available even at his age. However we'll see this season...

Or riding bikes though the locker room like the gong show last season..

He is going to have to come correct and be in shape like all NFL players are expected to be.

I'd love Hunter LTD.. don't get me wrong if he's there oh without a doubt Vrabel is taking him... however as we closer to draft night in a few weeks.. I'm feeling like Hunter won't be there..

 

[PatsFan2]

Reaching here but what if the plan was have Wallace train at LT all off season and insert him there?

That's more than a "Reach". Might be bordering on the impossible.

 

[Since1960]

Moses has played LT and RT - he is versatile. Trapilo also played both positions well at the Senior Bowl. We could still sign Smith at LT as a 1 year stop gap.

Wallace might be a great guard behind Onwenu.

And he may be a better guard/tackle on the Practice Squad….

 

[stinkypete]

Wallace is competition and nothing more. There is always the chance that with a competent staff and some legit pros on the line he could find his way. Some guys take a few years to develop.

We need to remember that the hit rate on a 3rd round pick is about 16%, his failure is not an indictment on the organization, he was always a flyer.

Now if you want to indict the organization for waiting until round 3 to take a tackle, or the decision to take Polk, that’s another story.

 

[JohnJH]

Especially since Wolf is a moron who had NO idea where to put anyone on the line. Wallace was an average RT in COLLEGE and Wolf was like…heck yeah…that’s my LT right there

All of the major draft experts stated before last years's draft that Wallace was best suited to RG in the NFL. If that proves to be the case, Wolf drafted a guy who was a RT, who is said to be a better NFL RG, but hoped to flip him to LT even though he wasn't even projected as a solid NFL RT. Yikes!
