If you sign Tretter, you have a #1 LG in Karras with Volson as a #2 backup. You also have a great #1 center in Tretter with a good #1B backup in Karras.
Not happening and Tretter's knees are shot. Try another player that is actually healthy and I might agree.
Karras is the starting Center, this isn't changing as much as people want it to. From everyone in the know Karras has been
fantastic at Center as well. Either Volson or Carman will grow into a decent LG I bet with Jonah and Karras on both sides of
them, great mentors for the young guys.

As to the second bolded, calls for signing Tretter are just a pipe dream. The team hired Ted Karras to be the starting Center, and mentor the younger fellas along at LG.
Yes sir Sunset. We just need to see Volson or Carman or both grow into decent LG's. Already think Volson is decent.
Carman could also be decent. I am not worried, we will be much better than last year on the OL. You were correct on the
post that 007 quoted about the Tackle depth, Prince was terrible against the Cardinals and made Carman look worse than
he actually was. D'Ante getting all those penalties was terrible and as you know I don't like Adeniji at all even if he looked
better last night.
