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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

In fact, he probably was the most consistent performer on an offensive line maligned for its inconsistency.
"He's done a terrific job for us," McNally said. "He's done everything we've asked and he was very consistent last year. It's good to have him for a second year."

Well that explains a lot...Why we didn't go after a LT in the draft. It will be interesting to see what comes of him. I wasn't that down on him last year. Sure, he isn't Walter Jones out there but then again no one is. I thought he did a solid job. Not a pro bowler but not a laughing stock either. He should only get better with Mouse coaching him.

The problem came from the interior of the O-line last year, for the most part. Anderson, Teague and Villarial all played like crap. Villarial was hurt for some games, and when Preston filled in, he looked like crap too.
I thought the tackles (Peters and Gandy) did an adequate job.

I agree. I think LT needs an upgrade if we're going to have a truly spectacular line, but interior was certainly a bigger problem. I'm interested to see how Butler figures into their plans, and if Peters stays on the right side.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

Butler is a long term solution and will likely be in the PS this year. Gibson will back up at tackle position and maybe even McFarland. I have to believe that they will dump Jerman. However, if they do want more backup than those two, I'd take either Butler or Pennington over Jerman!!!

McFarland? He's a goner. No way would we have drafted 2 OT's if we didn't have plans to dump some practice squad meat IMO. Jerman was the back-up last year and while he isn't great, he's still better than McFarland. I'm hoping Butler wins the back-up position on the right while Peters makes a slide if Gandy gets hurt.

Well said. Like anyone I'd love to have a Walter Jones at LT, but Gandy was not the reason our OL sucked last year. The middle was putrid and hopefully Fowler and Reyes get that up to par.

I would completely disagree. Jerman ranked down there with Pucillo as one of the worst Olinemen I've ever seen. McFarland made vast improvements last year and is staying in shape (and hopefully getting stronger) playing in NFL Europe. We'll have to see if he's improved, but in watching him in TC last year, I saw remarkable improvement. I agree with Peters making a slide, but Gibson would probably take over RT instead of Jerman. Jerman to me is completely useless and a waste of a roster spot!!!
I wouldn't risk it. Cut McFarland or someone else on the team but placing him on PS is too risky.
Risky? Why? He was a 2nd day pick. He has a long way to go before he's ready to play in the NFL. No team is going to use up a roster spot for someone that is probably atleast 2 years away from being able to contribute...McFarland has more upside right now than Butler does. It would be a mistake to cut McFarland over Butler this year. Even next year, Butler will likely not be ready - but might be ready for a backup position - depending on how he progresses this year.
We better pray JMac is right about Gandy. I feel Fowler is going to shock folks at Center and Reyes is an upgrade to fat Mike Anderson. I am just wondering when he will practice with the first string and put anderson to pasture?
