All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Walker was decent last year at RT but the scheme has changed to a more mobile line. Why do we assume Walker would have fit at RT under this new scheme?
Walker wasnt decent last yr or the yr before, that is media brainwashing, he was an average pass blocker at best, but was absolutly horrible in run blocking and he is way to slow on edge rushers as well as pulling and trapping
i was glad as hell we cut him and dockery and moved to nasty young Olineman
we have needed that since our glory days
walker and dockery were huge wastes of time and money
move on to the rookies and Bell
i would think thou showing how bad our front office is, if you have such glaring need for a prospect at OT u would have taken one in the 2nd rd instead of taking Byrd when both ur starting safties are coming back and u have another 3 on the roster already
that is were we should have taken a prospect for OT and still would have had Levitre and wood drafted
again stupid front office signings and draftings lead us to a backup playing center 2 rookies and a 5th and 7th round pick to start for us
Butler will be better all around than Walker was
I really liked Walker. I thought he's been our best lineman the past couple seasons. However, when we signed him we wanted huge, slow, strong lineman. It looks like we've switched gears towards nasty and athletic. Langston was far from either of those. In fact, he kind of came off as a big pussy.

cas,
I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
the big fat OL didn't work for us the last few years. We weren't opening holes. If the OL were all fat and had to pull, how long before they can even back to line up for the no huddle? Could also be a reason why we couldn't run screen plays. Too slow.
Nighttrain, I can somewhat agree with your comments but he has progressed nicely through out the preseason. While he does play a little high he uses his reach very well.
Walker played well last year, and he should of been given a chance to prove he couldnt at least handle the RT spot. We all saw he could not play LT, but we dont know about RT. But we gave the job to Butler who while he may be more athletics is less consistent, has worse technique, and has performed worse than Walker.
COMING SOON...

I have a feeling that this new offense is going to try more stuff to the outside which is going to require a lot of pulling from the Tackles. Walker is too slow for this style of offense.
He should be very successful on a power running team though. We are not a power running team. Hell, I don't know what the hell we are.
I dont know anything about next year's draft prospects, but assuming we're in the bottom of the standings this year, and there is a Top 5 OT coming out, we'll be taking an offensive tackle with our first round pick.
