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!
Let's say Gandy wins the LT position. He does however have a history of injuries. Should he get injured (hope not, knock on wood) what next? I think we should train JP to throw w/ his left.
I look at the Ol and I don't see as much depth as our DL.
Back in the Sega Genesis days, I had a cheap football video game called Pro Quarterback or something like that. The game was set up so the only way to avoid getting sacked on pass plays was to use a shotgun formation and run backwards with the down arrow to avoid the rush until someone got open.
JP may need to learn from this example: just take the snap and run back and to his right until the pocket collapses and he can dump off to the RB.
We need to bring Peters or McFarland along in a hurry. I agree with you. Our depth at guard and center aren't bad, but we're mighty thin at tackle.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I have to wonder if maybe they're going to gauge the depth at T during the early preseason and if it looks as poor then as it does to us now, they'll bring back Marcus Price

I like Price, but isn't the word out that his knees are shot?

It looks like they plan on moving Lawrence Smith to Tackle from Guard. He did spell JJ a couple of times last year and so has experience at LT. McNally feels he has potential and likes his attitude - I remember him saying that he felt Smith has the attitude that a lineman should have. He didn't do too well last year at LG and Tucker had to replace him, but Smith beat Tucker out in Training Camp....which makes it sound like he was beaten more due to inexperience than anything else. I wonder if, with another year under his belt, and more tutelage from McNally, he might actually be more improved this year. He could be the main backup at LT if Peters isn't as far along as they'd like him to be. He also played RG for CV in a few games also, I believe - which adds to his versatility.
