That is something i guess, know nothing about Hart but he might already be an upgrade over Og lol

I don't recall where I saw or heard about not having time to work on technique in camp. I just remember being shocked to hear it. I don't know if it was one of our players or someone interviewed by Ross Tucker. I know I heard it and am sorry not to be able to give you a source.
I had always assumed that OTAs and Camp were where they had the time to work on technique, but the player said that even in camp the focus was on installing the offense and there was minimal work on technique.
Discouraging that Willie did not have much impact on Og and Fisher. But I don't know how many reps there were able to get with him.
I keep trying to dream up ways of getting a couple of really good offensive linemen, a stud defensive lineman and a stud linebacker. We'll be lucky to get a couple.
I'd love to see us make a serious acquisition in FA for a change. Marvin made it sound like that was a rare option this year. We'll see!
Thank you, that shocked me as well when i heard it from you about not enough time for technique in camp. WTF?

I mean seriously, If I were playing in the NFL, I'd be learning as much as possible and working on my technique, counter moves and strength (base) all season long. It might only be played 9 months out of the year, but it's a full time job.
Same here, technique is where it all starts and you improve from there in the NFL. Too many great athletes and strong
dudes to rely on just skill. Hopefully all our Lineman are doing this, i know that Pollack looks like a hardass unlike that fat
puffball we had here before.

I know you need rest, but most ex players will tell you that 2-4 weeks is all the time needed to recuperate if you're not injured. They have the money between them to pay a significant fee.
Plus, it would just be fun. I know Whit organized some things. I'd love to see one of these guys step up and organize something.
Dalton has done that in the past. But we need more than one leader on this team.
Yeah, if we have the leaders on the team it would really help negate Marv's weakness in terms of leadership.
