I know its a bit early, but I was hoping for good news out of TC that Gandy was holding his own out there. All that I have heard so far is how bad it has been. Needless to say, I am a bit concerned. This could be the difference between a win and a loss in some games. Is there any reason to think we can improve this position either with a FA, or a player switch. Is Peters really challenging for the job???

Sorry for changing the subject. So back to the LT situation...
Based on the transformation of our offensive line last year from previous years, there is no doubt that McNally is among the best, and I trust that he will have our line in good shape at some point. There are those who will argue that a coach can only do so much. I see it differently. Every player in this league, regardless of position, has the talent and potential to succeed, otherwise they would have never made it to the NFL to begin with. That being said, coaching IS the difference, and it is up to them to help these players develop. SO I think the players we have in camp right now, will get the job done.

I took notice of him getting off the snap real quick. He was always in the defenders face and didn't really let anyone get around him. His footwork looked real good and he was very physical and held his ground.”

It's very different for QB's, RB's, and WR's. They do well in practice and stink up the place in games.

Re: Left tackle has me worried!
Originally posted by MDFINFANHe's reading the reports here like everyone else. As of right now, your LT situation is not a strong one. If he pulls it together, fine, but I'm finding that the ones who are doing well the first week are the ones who are going to do well the last week in terms of OL play. It's very different for QB's, RB's, and WR's. They do well in practice and stink up the place in games. Having quite figured out why. But anyway, Vil..is one of your best OG's and shouldn't be move to T. That will hurt you up the middle. And JP needs sometime without having someone in his face as he falls back to pass...I think his athleticism can buy him time from a DE rush.
Ok so here is my guess at the starting five. At C we have Duke Preston, Bennie Anderson at RG, Mike Williams at RT. On the other side we have Chris Villarrial at LG and Trey Teague at LT. Looks strong to me.

Re: Left tackle has me worried!
I'm gettin worried about Teague and his shot gun snaps....I went today and I'd say about 60% of his snaps were low and at the ankels, including one that he rolled back on the ground...On a brighter note, Lionel Gates is impressing me a lot, same with Roscoe.....
