I hope to see Adeniji on one of these soon.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping to see Adeniji on there.

Sadly, we need to replace him first in my opinion. He is a camp body to be used so our starters can get rest and be ready for week 1. Also, he may be better suited for guard than tackle.

Regardless, we have a gaping hole at swing tackle that needs to be fixed very soon. We may need to dive back into FA and if we do if healthy, I want Darryl Williams who played with the Bills and started for them at RT

He’s not a camp body though, he’s a backup who’s 2nd on the depth chart. That’s a problem.

Except he was disastrous at Guard too. Both the Titans and Rams rushed consistently successfully over the RG gap. It was pretty bad to watch.

If you read my post, I said he MAY be better suited for guard and also said we need a swing tackle.

I am in agreement, he looked bad the other night and Prince did as well. Both were very disappointing and did not show any development (Pollack has to take some responsibility) which is very concerning. It is one thing if one player on the Ol does not progress, another when multiple guys seem to worse now than they were a year ago playing against back ups.

not sure why they let Fred Johnson go...I thought he was solid when at T, not G

Abu, Shamari, and Pooka?

Sounds like the members of an Egyptian boy band.

Well, you should know, Fred. Being the boards resident authoritie on Boy Bands....   Just messing with you Freddie. Good to see you're still round like a donut.

I think the top 6 at CB and S are pretty locked in. IDK if we keep 12 in the secondary (probably not), but I think 11 is a good bet.

CB: Awuzie, Applile, Hilton, CTB, Flowers, Davis
S: Bell, Bates, Hill, M. Thomas, Anderson, B. Wilson.

Evans looking good on returns is probably bad news for Wilson. Though having 2 good KR guys is just fine.

Kind of surprised at Abu Daramy-Swaray.  He didn't play a ton, but he was the top PFF ranked player on defense against the Cards.
