It is far more costly to move Taysom Hill without a sign and trade deal; same with Cam...

Moving Armstead makes sense, since Ramczyk could play LT and has to be extended; plus they're some great RTs that could be had in the first and second round...

And without a geriatric Qb it won’t hurt so bad if our oline takes a small step back for a year.

Well, in so far as the offensive line, losing Armstead is significant, but our problem is our interior offensive line which is a hot mess...

Peat, despite getting a big, fat contract, is still playing uninspired football; unfortunately his contract makes it prohibitive to release him, nor is he an attractive trade option when you combine his play/contract...

McCoy has really showed some RPMs as a big man who can get out and move to break open big runs; unfortunately he's had to stay inside at Center because Ruiz was unable to take the reigns, to be continued...

Ruiz was unable to grasp the transition to the NFL game; maybe it was because of the abbreviated off-season with the Wuhan viral pandemic; this is the biggest question mark besides quarterback on offense...

And we had to cut our swing-man, Nick Easton due to a serious concussion problem; know the cut, loss of potential income sucks, but I don't want this guy to have more permanent damage...

Worse, because of the corner Payton and Loomis have painted themselves into with our salary cap position, we're unable to take advantage of the terrific guards in the 2021 Free Agency class...

Ruiz needs to continue with building more muscle mass this off season. He was bullied quite a bit.

I hope Easton calls it a career. 3 concussions in a season is not good for his overall quality of life after football.

Not a popular name on the O line but I hope we find a way to re sign James Hurst. He's a versatile lineman who played well in relief.

Yeah, he's real young, but Sean was saying he was fully developed; guess not so much...

Really don't think we want to see Winston as QB throwing on the run and under pressure
