They can all run block and pass block. We haven't had that in a long time.

I'm pumped

It sure looks like we'll have the best Oline we've had in pfttt years.

LOL..."mean player"....they'll put damn near anything in a scouting report.  

Joe having all day to drop back and find all those deadly weapons on offense .... not even Jack Mehoff could report on a scenario better than that.

TL;DR: They eat glass. 

So one of the guys I was getting info from the past couple weeks has a great summary on LC, Cowboys insider Mike Fisher...

Yeah but what do they do with a ketchup bottle.

Yes they will, In Nick Foles report it says great locker room guys, his manhood commands respect! ??‍♂️

Do they dip their glass in ketchup like they’re eating fries?

So how do they fit our blocking scheme? Or is that coachable? I'd imagine wide splits means a lot of side-to-side, lateral movement, and 1 vs. 1. Looks like they like to go the second level.... I'd be happy if our guys just win at the first level.

Dump the ketchup out and eat it.

The way they’ve built this OL,I’m liking this Hayden Hurst signing even more.I think Burrow might make him a pro bowler.I feel Hurst is underrated.

Mixon will love it as well. This Center out right side rebuild has been amazing.

I reckon the deal was done when Collins was sighted at Kenwood. Bengals knew they had a mall-er then :)

It certainly means less rush 3 and drop 8 because we will run all day. It also means that if they choose to play a nickel and Mixon ( who’s a great receiver) shifts to receiver Hurst could indeed benefit

3 well rounded above average in their prime ill tempered OL who like to bully their opponents. It's going to be fun to watch.

I like Hursts potential, but no TE is going to get enough targets to be a Pro-Bowler with the talent we have at WR and RB.

I bet the white guys are "scrappy" have "good motors".

You are probably right with Andrews, Waller and Kelce in the division. Those are also the clear #1 or #2 target on their team (to your point). Hurst is the 4 or 5.

I think people get excited, and they should. Realistic expectations are pretty simple 50-500-5. Anything beyond that would be icing on the cake. Best case I could think of would be 60-750-8

I’m the guys biggest cheerleader but I think the big difference will be the routes he can run, the difficult catches he can make, smart football plays and unexpected athleticism with ball in his hands. He also brings a more hardcore let’s kick ass approach vs a hype-like rah rah.

I will be anxious to see how much time he tries to get with Joe prior to OTAs.
