Wasn't Lecharles Bentley the big FA that the Browns signed that blew out his knee on the very first snap of OTA practices?  There was like a SNAP!  NOOOOOOOO!!!

I don't hate the Browns like I do the steelers, and I actually felt bad for them when that happened.  Felt very Ki-Jana-esque.

You could put together the best oline in the NFL using nothing but Notre Dame players:

LT Ronnie Staley
LG Quinton Nelson
C- Nick Martin
RG Zach Martin
RT Mike McGlinchey

Cannot believe I didn't mention Notre Dame duh...

The Irish have been putting out the best OL lately...

You could put together a good one just out of LSU guys, too...

Andrew Whitworth
Damien Lewis
Lloyd Cushenberry
Trai Turner
La'el Collins

Hmmm. 

One of those guys is retired though...

I only watched the second half but I wasnt all that impressed with Linderbaum in the Citrus Bowl. I thought he got pushed around a bit.

Tom Brady has taught me no one is truly retired until the season starts, lol.

Haha, still I highly doubt Whit comes back unless it is with us as a backup or more likely a coach down the road.

He wants to hang with his family.

“The short arms, that’s what they found. They found something bad about me. Good for them."

Quote from Linderbaum


I’m ready to see him in stripes next year.

All I said was that Iowa is known for producing top OL players at the NFL level, unlike OSU. Never said OSU doesn’t have guys. Just that Iowa has some of the best. And I figured it was understood that I was taking about in recent years. I didn’t think people would be dragging up guys from the 90’s…

And every decade since.  Be real.  The tackles have been fairly mediocre overall but they been on rosters and starters as well.  A bucket full of outstanding centers and guards.

Josh Myers?  Not that I care about coach stud.  And I been speaking to a general perception that admittedly is there but I find unrealistic.

(04-18-2022, 01:54 PM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Differentiating between top players at their positions and mere roster filler is not semantics. Bro.

What I said was accurate. Literally no one thinks about OSU when it comes to producing top OL talent in the modern NFL. Period.

And they're obviously hating ass haters if they submit that perception holds up to reality.

Their tackles haven't been extraordinary lately but they been around and the interior they've produced has been outstanding especially at center.

Myers played less than 300 snaps and had a PFF grade of 58.  

If they are thinking IOLthey are thinking Jurgens I hope. He is a knucklehead so he needs a bit of discipline.

We never showed any specific interest in Linderbaum. Jurgens on the other hand we have been linked to and met with him.

Jurgens fits more of what we seem to be evolving to on the OL anyways, bigger, meaner and more powerful.

It depends on who is there to be honest. But i think they are gonna look for CB and a pass rusher ( if no 3T available if their is a good pass rushing edge like Paschal or Sam Williams they may go that route). They may shock us all and take McBride if he is there because I know they are high on him but so was the Bucs ( and that's who I think will take him before us).

63. Dylan Parham G/C

95. Alontae Taylor CB


63. Trey McBride TE

95. Damarri Mathis


63. Perrion Winfrey 3T

95. Luke Fortner G/C

You think McCollum will fall to the 3rd just cause of the small school? I ask cause I sure hope so.

Would love Winfrey/McCollum. As you know love Logan Hall but I don't think he will make it to 63, same with McBride the TE
as you say looks like the perfect spot to land in Tampa with Brady. Cam Jurgens is another G/C I would love to land. Also really
like Cam Taylor Britt but I think he gets taken in the mid 2nd today ahead of us.

Would have to trade up for either Hall or CTB I think. Love all these options honestly, none I dislike.

Zyon should be there in the 3rd. I saw him slide the last week or so. A lot had him going in the 4th. CTB might make it to us possibly.
