This could be posturing for the upcoming draft or straight talk because the OL showed some improvement the last few games.  

If it is straight talk, then the coaching staff's evaluation of the OL worries me once again.  I say this because Tobin justified signing Hart.  It is like they settle for below average as ok.  As far as I remember, none of the OL players ranked very high using PFF ratings.  I simply cannot understand the blind eye to OL, especially with a likely new QB this draft.  Ugh!.

I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw Jonah Williams. If we start the season with these guys Burrow (if we sign him) or any other QB that starts is going to get killed. Unless we get players that are a huge upgrade on the shit we have right now, there is no point in even turning up for the first game"

Yeah that would have went down well with anyone that may still be on the roster going into the first game.

He really didnt praise anyone on the OL much. He said Miller and Hart played well but then said "they werent terrible". Saying "they werent terrible" in my mind, coming from a coach is basically saying those two spots are up for competition and need to improve big time. Although they were decent, they werent good enough and I agree with his judgement on that. Those 2 guys played better than anyone except Hopkins through most of the season, but thats not saying much considering we were the worst OL in the NFL until the last 4-5 games.

I honestly think Fred Johnson is going to take Harts starting spot and be a very solid upgrade, but thats just my opinion. He looked good out there in his limited time and he seems versatile. I also think Jordan started showing something towards the end. Billy Price is lost on me, I cant figure that dude out. He looks like a complete bust who isnt NFL ready. I was a big fan of drafting him, and Id still gladly give him a shot on the St Louis Battlehawks in the XFL! But if he doesnt show something in this training camp Id say he will be a late cut.
