Starting OL

Works for me at this point.

Next year sign a FA Guard and draft another.

Huge change from last year!  Have we seen this lineup play together in game yet?  No Clemmings, no Beavers, no Boone.  We don't have anyone left to bitch about from seasons past LOL

I think a clean slate is good. I have to believe it can't get any worse than last year.

I still look for us to pick someone up off of waivers.

I still think our OL is gonna be the weak link of this team.

It is most definitely our Achilles heel and it sucks ginormous ass.

good clean house of dead weight and move on. that is how the Pats do it too.

Oh don't worry...  Remmers will be the new whipping boy!

Agreed. I think sometimes they hang on to some guys too long. I understand giving the benefit of the doubt or time to develop but sometimes you just gotta let go.

what says "I don't know.... wing it" like going thru preseason and coming out without having your O line play a single snap as a unit?

Hope for the best but I'm guessing the first 5 games or so we are going to hear - It takes time for them to gel.  

 
Come on Bradpool!  B)

It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Hopefully Sam will be able to stop seeing ghosts at some point.

Yeah. I don't get that at all. I understand Zimmer is fearful of injuries on the OL after last season but come on. What's the point of Preseason if you don't play your starting unit one snap. Closest we had was against Seahawks. And personally it makes me want Hill at LT and Reiff at RT because it is overall the best OL unit IMHO.

Boone had an NFL-level talk and swagger, and had a high school level talent.  Never played up to his own hype.  Easton works hard.  Elflein is the real deal.  Worried about a 35 year old Berger starting.

So... our 2 backup C are the starting G's, so if Elflein gets dinged we have to switch 2 positions on the line. Lovely.  I didn't think Boone was quite bad enough to get whacked, maybe they're interested in taking him back at a price cut?

Word is Boone didn't want to take a price cut, which lead to his release.  He'll probably sign on with another team for a one year deal, since he's still getting 3 mil. from the Vikings anyways.

There are 3 centers on the team.  Berger can move to Center and Isidora move to RG if needed.

And I think Elflein is a center.  Top center in college FB would seem to say that too.

They weren't Ghosts he was seeing last year. They were giangantic defensive lineman coming nearly unblock towards him.
