Player Signing OT help - Durant coming back

[PatsFan2]

Light was 6'6 Campbell is 6'6 same body type.. I think Campbell is just more physical and has a nastier attitude. That's what you want in your LT..

Twin: Matt Light was 6-4 305lbs.

Your right. I got the measurements wrong. Campbell is a beast, that guy has a nasty attitude i love it!

Arms are just long enough to pick up the box of twinkies in the cabinet and the milk in the fridge....we are saved! =D

 

[signbabybrady]

at least the double headed are still here.. fn

White too. They can instantly compete again with JB and when JT is healthy but they do now need to find a few role players and a big. With the new salary structure seems like they will need to get creative to fill the holes.

They can go after a few mid-level veterans. Drummond for example, also Cleveland is supposedly listening on Jared Allen.. they need offensive rebounding bigs.. Quata IMO has potential but he'll need to calm his game down some to be a serious contributor. Wait a minute SBB I'm in the wrong forum...

IMO, Durant is competing with the guards for one of the 2-3 roster spots available. I don't see why we would cut the sever below.
IOL COMPETITORS (pick 2-3)
Strange, Sow, Robinson, Robinson, Brown, Conley, Durant
===========
I don't the situation has changed with the latest two transactions.
We lost a candidate for backup OL who played several positions.
We signed a candidate for backup OL who plays several positions.
===============
THE SEVEN MOST LIKELY TO MAKE THE 53
OT: Campbell, Lowe, Moses, Wallace
C: Bradbury, Wilson
OG: Onwenu, ???, ???, ???
======
FOR ME
We have 2 starting OT's and two backup OT's.

I am much less confident about our starting LG and 1-2 backup OG's.

Good take Yassir is here because of the Schweitzer retirement. Schweitzer was potentially one of the OL to make the team so that gives Durant a chance but also gives every other ol here a chance too.

Take note where Durant is on the current depth chart.

I only dabble in the sub forums so I'll take any window that opens to talk about the other sports on the main forum.

Understand... did u see the depth chart link i sent?

Yea pretty much at the bottom and listed as guard. I see the starters as pretty much set. Vrabel might not want to rely on Strange but I don't see him not starting. As far as depth goes it's another wide open competition so maybe Yasir climbs up.

Yes that's my thinking as well. I don't anticipate much changes from the starters save for injury or if Vrabel's giving Moses, ownenu or Bradbury a veteran day off during camp. Strange has had enough time off he needs to stay as healthy as possible to not only keep his spot but remain on the roster. What's interesting is I'd be more optimistic on yasir challenging Strange had he been on an NFL roster coming from the UFL.. I feel he's a camp body. No knock on the UFL or course.. but not like he's been on a NFL roster.

My point basically is that when Lowe is your best depth guy I don't think there is someone who is just a camp body every OLmen has a chance to make it even the last one in.

And I don't mean to overstate anyone's chances either if these guys don't show improvement and earn their spot then we'll be making wire claims left and right again.

Oh I definitely understand what you mean. In all actuality no team beyond thier starting OL have great depth. Guys are second string/depth guys for a reason. I'm all for depth we've had poor depth last few seasons as I've mentioned the NFL is a grueling sport guys get knicked up all the time. Depth is vital for this team in particular. Also Lowe may start out on PUP, so yasir, Wallace and other guys will also have opportunities to secure a spot at back up OT

Yasir Durant - MockDraftable

34 and 3/4

Much longer than T Rex Campbell

Good size, but he is not athletic at all

Give it up already.

 

[Sciz]

Am I correct that no recent USFL/XFL/UFL offensive linemen have gone on to play an offensive snap for an NFL team? It’s a good way for kickers to take a nontraditional path to the NFL, and there are some DL that have turned into rotational NFL players. As far as I can tell, they’re still waiting for their first OL success story.

I suspect that they will work him out in camp at LG.

Just shows Just how bad the last few seasons have gone for us.. that we spend time on a camp/try out OL..

Ourlads has him listed at OT

he has been a street free agent for a couple of seasons, playing a position the league is extremely short on players. he has been unable to hook on elsewhere.
he is 27 years old
perhaps he is a late bloomer

I am higher on the teams Ol than most here
Wallace, Robinson, Sow, Bryant, Lowe all still have upside. the young players on the roster have been hurt due to poor coaching and injuries. they are still young. Marrone needs to make an impact. McD needs a scheme to protect the OL.
I am eager to see it all unfold

and how much time did we spend on the UDFA's who were camp tryouts? Obviously, a few weren't, most were.
