You're just being emotional. We lost. The LT situation is what it is.

We've been through this every year since Fisher went down. It's not going to play out the way anybody thinks it will. And if you get this emotional about one guy, you're going to have a big let down.

So dont draft a guy in the late first cause he'll take time, don't trade up for one it's too risky, don't sign one in FA it's too expensive....

What are your ideas on making this work?

They've always been aggressive. They'll make a big move no one sees coming.

Yep. How we got Thuney.

They're going to have to get creative. And at some point, they're going to have to develop some guys.

The way for this team to continue doing what they are doing is to hit on guys like Kingsley. That's it.

Veach already said they're not going to be active in free agency, albeit before the Super Bowl.

And for the record, I'm not against drafting a LT in the late first. I just wouldn't give up picks to do it. The difference between 22 and 32 when it comes to tackles is nill.

Kinglsey is gonna slot in at RG I'd guess next year.

Which...I kinda think he'll be good at.

A lot of teams believe it or not don't need a LT like Robinson, or they're drafting high enough they may elect to go that route.

Much as was the case with Brown, I don't foresee it being a huge bidding war. And Brown had just won a freaking SB entering his FA.

Sassy Squatch 02-13-2025 09:21 AM

On paper he should be a fantastic G. But I really hope a rough couple of games at OT hasn't been enough for them to write him off, especially when a significant portion of his struggles are on them.

Brown had a ****ing idiot for an agent. I wouldn't put much thought into how those negotiations went.

Eh, Andy seems to have a pretty good idea of OL. If they don't think he's a T, I'm gonna ride with that.

This is a no brainer folks. Work a structured contract and get him in here. Robinson is miles better than anything this franchise has had the last 2 years and he’s 29.

There are no other options. Get it done and start building the team with draft picks

Yeah, if us dufus's can quickly come to the conclusion that Robinson id our best option out of all the bad options, Veach probably figured that out during the season preparing for next year.

I'll be glad to be wrong, I think the issues are bigger than a couple bad games.

Do what Philly did with Becton a few years sooner and just get the kid in position to help you win now. Very confident he can do that at RG.

O.city 02-13-2025 09:24 AM

If you put him at RG and he's a good player there, well, then you're just looking for a LT and puts you at a pretty solid OL RT-LG.

So if we have to have good players all along the OL for the offense to go I think we need to have a difference conversation here.

Sassy Squatch 02-13-2025 09:25 AM

Veach threw his hands up and quit negotiating with OBJ and his representation, and from what I remember that happened with other teams as well before he settled on the Bengals for far less than what he could've gotten

We have to stop paying all our good players. The cap just doesn't allow it. We need to let Bolton and Reid walk. Pick a great LB in round 2 or 3.
