WTF is our pro personnel department doing right now to fix the ******s we have playing tackle?

Are they doing anything at all to try and fix this mess since we know Jauron isn't going to be fired anytime soon?

We need to let Merideth get a chance. He was projected as a starting LT in the NFL by some sites and also we need to give Freeman a chance and Maybin a chance at MLB and ROLB.

Maybin isn't playing linebacker until we have a 3-4 defense.

Russ and the boys are too busy with marketing this bag of crap to actually worry about player personnel issues.

Also the signing is essentially us signing Walker back, which sounds pretty good right now.

Maybin is not a MLB dude, not even close. And just bc someone is projected as a LT by "some sites" doesnt mean he should be starting on our line.

I doubt Walker would go for it but yeah, resigning Walker now would be a step in the right direction.

That being said, throwing in the towel at this point is an option to at least consider.

Does anybody realize that Fowler, Preston, and Walker are all out there and available? Nobody in the NFL (or UFL) has these guys that were a fixture on the Bills last year on their roster? Isn't that disturbing?

As for the rest, Peters is doing fine in Philly, but Butler is out for the season, and Dockery is starting in Washington with Mike Williams. As we all know, Washington stinks.

All true, but it doesn't validate the decisions made by the front office that resulted in the current group. The best we can say right now is that the o-line is young and at least they are not paying huge dollars for mediocre or worse performance, as they did with Dockery, et al.

Re: Packers sign an Offensive Tackle for help

How the front office could grossly neglect such an important part of the offense is beyond me. They are as much at fault for our current situations as Jauron and Edwards. There's no reason why any of them should keep their jobs. If Jauron gets fired and we get a whole new coaching staff... it won't matter as long as these bums are still pulling strings.
