    I don't see Salyer having a future under Harbaugh if he doesn't get his ass in shape, period...the guy is woefully out of shape even by lineman standards...his effectiveness would increase tremendously if he slimmed down a bit and replaced some of that fat with muscle...he is also very stiff, playing at a lower weight would improve his mobility and his flexibility...He's a talented kid but you have to admit that he fell in the draft for a reason...and it wasn't just the knee issue...

      If another two fifths of our starting OL gets replaced, oh well.

        Just wait till Ben Herbert gives Salyer an earful and puts him on his nutrition and weight training program...I can hear it now: "Is that the best you can do??? COME ON, MAN!!!"

          you can add Jaimes to this, when Jaimes got drafted he came in looking like a guy that put in the time in college and in the pre-draft process, I expected him to take it to the next level in year two and what I saw at TC his sophomore year really blew me away...the money hurts some of these guys and they lose focus on what they are supposed to be doing, no college coach forcing you to come in and work out anymore, now it's up to you to eat right and maintain your own workout schedules etc...some guys just seem to lack that professional drive...

            Yep, there's another dude that needs to step it up...or they'll say, "time to go HOME, JAIMES!"

              That’s the thing. This is your job and someone is always trying to take it. So why not invest in yourself. Look at how Johnson showed up. Different!

                Well, we need at least one OG, whether Harbo and staff develop someone already on the roster, or sign an FA...now that Alt is plugged in at RT, don't want to see any more IOL pressure like last year...

                  I think Johnson is not quite like ekeler but similar, these guys are gym rats, they enjoy working out and maintain a professional physique...Zion has always been a mountain of muscle even when he was in college, I just think some charger fans had never seen him without pads on...

                    So Zion is being shown the bench in this scenario? right now to me with coach saying that Trey is one of our top 5 guys I think we have our starting lineup set Slater, Zion, Bozeman, Trey, Alt...with 14 O-linemen on the roster already I think they may be done bringing people in but you never know...

                      Kind of early to start making predictions on our final line...that RG spot is the one that I don't think anyone is too sure of yet...

                        Did you mean RG?
