Offensive Line Discussion

[Bolt4Knob]

The majority of FA are overrated. Overpaying and giving them a false sense of confidence makes the problem worse

Scherff is probably the guy I want Telesco to sign the most. I agree you don't want to overpay but you cannot also count on Tevi or Scott at RT. So if that means overpaying a little for a better player, fine. Maybe its a guy like Bulaga though not a fan of the age, I want younger. Maybe its Glasnow. Granted a guard not tackle but its about improving the OL.

Lions beat writer says Graham Glasgow is very consistent, gritty and mistake free.

They will be unable to retain him--price of Stafford's GIANT contract.

Scheme flexible.

Pay da man !!

Campen also has very good intel on Glasgow - saw him a lot these last few years. He might be the guy to be aggressive with. Scherff or Conklin probably are getting the early publicity.

Pay the man.

Looking at the Chargers cap - Benjamin is going to count 1.5m because Telesco was stupid last offseason. What a dumb move. TElesco cannot be that dumb again with Perryman and MEbane. He needs to cut those chords.

I am guessing Glasgow will be a better investment.

My dark secret is that I am a Trencher too...just very picky and selective.

There is only so much capital to work with.

We are gonna squeeze all the juice outta this orange.

I know I am a broken record but Telesco really needs to focus on the OL if he wants to run an offense Lynn wants to run - which starts with running the damn ball. I know the team needs another CB. I know the team needs a speedy WR.

But for bleeps sake - fix the damn OL and really try to upgrade the interior of the DLine and MLB. I know this watching football for as long as I have

A good OL can help maximize the RB and WR

a Good DL and front seven can make up for your average DBs over the DBs being better with a weaker Front 7

So Telesco - fix the damn OL!!

I do remember how happy and mouthy I was when we went Lamp-Feeney 2-3.

Hey, waste matter materializes.

I’m going to list my list of FA targets in that thread but here are the Olinemen I like for us. With AL implying again we are changing scheme to an attacking movement system (ie donkey/9er) with athletic linemen and PA/moving pocket/rollouts/boots. That leads to a mobility at QB and ball security.

These are my dudes. Bold = ideal fits.

OT TARGETS

Jack Conklin, Brian Bulaga, **GEORGE FANT**, Jason Spriggs

IOL TARGETS

Joe Thuney, **GRAHAM GLASGOW**, Alex Lewis, ** CONNOR MCGOVERN **

Don't feel so bad, Wood, I and a lot of other people were with you at the time...Lamp was considered a steal in round 2, and Feeney was one of the top 2-3 rated OG's, even #1 on some lists...tough breaks with Lamp's injuries...now Feeney is a head scratcher...maybe Happy Campen can get Feeney coached up this year...

Spriggs is an interesting name because of the Campen connection
Fant - the Seahawks have the cap space to bring him back
I think Bulaga is too old - already have Okung
Glasgow I like.
I wonder how much Glasgow and Spriggs would cost

Lol, interesting that a few years ago people were saying Seattle's OL wasn't good and Fant wasn't good and I said he didn't suck and was a young player on the rise.
Don't recall which forum it was. Probably CMB. Could of been here but don't know.

Spriggs will cost minimal. He doesn’t have any playing time.
Glasgow will be in the $9-$12ish million yearly range.
Fant- is the ideal fit (less injury history). Big time athlete, no real bad habits, and excellent length. Will the hags spend $6.5-$10 yearly million on a multi year contract?

George was a college b-ball player at WKU. No college football background (AG like). Lost a season to ACL so still raw but love his play in the limited snaps.
