@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy It’s looking like he will but slaughter has never played guard not saying he can’t or will never be good. He just has never done it for that reason it’s an unknown and idiotic to say the “OL Is top 5”🤓
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy It’s two very different positions to say it’s not difficult for a guy who’s never played the other position is just dumb. He’s a pure center that’s all he’s ever done what are you on about. And awosika can be fine but it’s an unknown he’s been a career backup
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy It’s nuanced and the chargers were bad last year when we shouldn’t have been. Penning is awful nothing solid about him and there’s a possibility he might start and slaughter has never player guard to sit here and say this is good is just stupid.
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy 2 great player who are coming off serious season ending injuries. Everything else is pretty much an unknown again I’m not saying the offensive unit as a whole won’t be top 5 or 10 that’s the expectation. But the oline by itself is not like at all.
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy No it’s not tf. OL the trenches are a very different game compared to everything else. LG has a bunch of unknowns and Cole strange has one season of guard played. The offense has a whole will be good and the OL will be better because of slater and alt but it’s not a top 5 or 10
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy If we didn’t have Herbert we would’ve been. Penning is the worst player OL don’t get traded for in the middle of the season theyre to valuable and he is not he’s literally the worst. The lions had a bad OL last year compared to their past seasons. Also “might” is very optimistic
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy No he is the worst player easily when he was on the field we were the worst offense. Serviceable for RG is not a good thing considering what happened last year. Lg the options are penning the worst player slaughter a pure center who’s never played guard and awosika and harkey rd7
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy Strange is bust who’s played 1 season at guard in an offense specifically designed to get the ball out fast. The tackles u could argue are top 5 but it’s a unit and the unit is brand new. With guards who are severely lacking.
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy Also the linemen we drafted were all late picks who prolly will never start. Slaughter is a pure center who won’t play center and prolly won’t start at guard and has never played guard. I think it’s just insane to be saying these things without being realistic.
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy I think McDaniel can make them appear to be fringe top ten but this is a brand new oline that has never played together besides the tackles. We’ve seen this exact story play out the same for 3 years the only difference is McDaniel the oline is still a ?
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy Slaughter doesn’t look like he’s gonna start and strange is also a bust much like Becton again I agree that Tyler is an upgrade but the oline itself is not top 5 we don’t have the star power for that. The tackles are but they aren’t the only positions on the oline.
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy Last year I saw my qb run for his life all season and no one literally no one could help him. Not the OL the coaches the gm the owner NO ONE. I wanted a built IOL instead we resigned penning and signed a pure center and drafted another pure center who looks like wont start at LG.
@boltzgalaxy@zschwarz89 I agree to some extent the center upgrade is massive and McDaniel will scheme around it. But I would like to be sure at guard which I’m not mainly because the players are questionable and you can scheme all that you want but if the players falter it’s over.
@zschwarz89@boltzgalaxy Idk the interior is still a massive unknown. I think the offense will be top 5 mainly because of herb and McDaniel but the IOL was not really invested in besides biasdaz.
@thewhitegates04@alexinsdorf99 Idk bro like I was hyped for him because I’m a gator fan but he’s only ever played center the reason he was drafted was because of physicals. We already had a center and needed a guard not saying he will never be that or won’t ever start. Just saying this answer was a copout.
