And if Payton trades up to get that one guy, a lot of us will be outraged.

Interior flexibility to groom
Ethan Pocic C/OG/OT LSU 6056 309 5.18 Sr #77 Sr Mr versatility. has played every position in his time at LSU Mason Cole C/OG/OT Michigan 6045 305 5.06 #52 rJr strength and athleticism Need a swing OT to groom Ryan Ramczyk OT/OG Wisconsin 6052 314 5.29 #65 rJr back injury worries me Garret Bolles OT/OG/DT Utah 6052 296 4.97 #75 Jr nasty, mean mobility/balance. 296 is rock solid Mike McGlinchey RT/LT Notre Dame 6072 310 5.22 #68 rJr Steady Eddie does nothing great but what he does he does well Avery Gennesy OT/OG Texas A&M 6045 305 5.08 #65 needs some work but he is about as flexible as they come The draft is solid in players that fit our needs and can play all over the OL. Right or Left no big deal. they swing Trade back and snag both in round 2 Ethan Pocic C/OG/OT LSU 6056 309 5.18 Sr #77 Sr Garret Bolles OT/OG/DT Utah 6052 296 4.97 #75 Jr I would be feeling mighty good about OL future going into 2017 |

It would certainly not hurt to have that type of mismatch again and forces the defense to account for another offensive weapon

WTf are you talking about Philly for. They don't even have the same head coach man. You are all over the place spewing nonsense. I said it would help create mismatches and it would. This thread was not asking for your opinion of Darren Sproles, what Drew Brees needs vs the needs of SP, or what the hell the Philadelphia Eagles base plan of attack is. It was a thread created to see if people could identify a candidate for those duties. Now go create a 6 layer (and yes that says layer not player) 8 team trade Post, please. |

Re: What I wish we had/ could find again
Does Rodgers and Brady need screens to win?

Remember another kid named Kevin Faulk? You damn straight, Skippy, NE relies on the screen pass... Rodgers hasn't won sh*t since he hasn't had his running backs... ALL, and I mean ALL, successful teams rely on the screen pass... Even Oakland won more games in a generation this season because of the screen pass... Tampa Bay had a mini run in the middle of the season with a healthy Jacquizz Rodgers doing damage... If you don't have the screen pass in your arsenal - you're not going very far... |
