Thoughts?

I think he is a better option than any draft pick and draft a Guard in Rd 2 to replace Zeitler?

Now we just have to hope our weaknesses get better. There has to be a reason Reiff was an early first round pick.

He could be worth it to us if we brought him in to play RG. How is he in the run game?

I think on a 2-3 year contract...he'd be a good get.

It also led to one of the funniest photoshops I've seen in a while.

Both could play RT in a pinch too if Fisher has to slide to LT in case Og continues to suck it up.

(03-09-2017, 04:56 PM)Bengal Dude Wrote: Yeah, his arms weren't long enough for some scouts. As soon as that came out during the combine he was instantly ticketed for guard by a lot of people.


Fluker would be such a desperation move.

(03-09-2017, 05:00 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: Why is that BD? Fluker was just a bad LT cause he wasn't athletic enough and gave up too many sacks. 1st round pick just like Reiff.

I think he could make a fine RG, he is a better run blocker than Zeitler was here.

I believe Guard is where he should of been put to begin with.

(03-09-2017, 05:03 PM)Bengal Dude Wrote: Fluker has averaged 5 sacks given up per season since he entered the league. He hasn't looked that good at tackle or guard. Also, the Chargers have been crap at OL, but chose to move on from him.
