to add at least a couple OT's to the team, one in FA like a Garrett Bolles and one in the Draft like Darnell Wright for insurance in case
La'el and Jonah aren't either healthy or up to par. True that when La'el was finally getting healthy this Offense started to look insane
with a running game.
Mixon had a few big games running the ball, but blitz pickup is essential and his contract takes up too much dough IMO.
Bring back Perine, cut Mixon, draft a RB that can pick up the blitz like McKinnon and run like a mad man like Pacheco...
Look out if we do all this.
This is is 100% true. An NFL team needs 3 tackles -- LT (one of the most important positions on the field), RT, and a competent backup swing T. How many tackles do we have now? Zero.
Carman did fine against quality competition, but that's a very small sample size. Jonah is a question mark due to injuries to both knees, and maybe his best days are behind him. LC, who knows?
I think that at worst, Carman can be a serviceable backup. Jonah may come back from surgery worth his 12 million. Between them, I'll say that maybe we have one competent tackle. Bolles or McGlinchey in FA, and hope that the third tackle is there when we draft.
