They had 3 good OL.
They let 2 of them leave.
Fisher is making progress but he's way behind schedule because they kept jerking him around his first 2 years in and insisted on giving Ced RT last year when it should have been Fisher's spot. It made no ***** sense if Ced was slated to be the future LT to run him out at RT over Fisher. Both guys needed reps.
Then this nonsense of "LT is Ced's natural position" despite him having always been a better RT in college.
What a crock of shit. They bungled the whole process. Starts at the very top with Mike Brown hiring a small scouting department and it forces too much onto coaches for scouting.
You can't be a full time coach and scout. Too many potential guys slip through the cracks and you can't watch enough on everyone to fully know.
This is where the hate with Paul Alexander starts. And that isn't his fault. He shouldn't have to be worried about bringing in the talent and coaching it.
It also creates the problem of his pet projects. It becomes an ego thing.
Still, might be better than Bodine. We have never let there be competition at the Center position since he got here, bogus.
Whatever happened to letting the best player win the job? TJ came in last year for Bodine in the Ravens game and played
well. Then they put Bodine right back in and he sucked. This is the stuff that really drives me nutz. But i guess you may be
right and this is not PA's fault. But Bodine WAS his handpicked Center and we traded up for the dude. Atleast this has been
my understanding from PA's own words. He is terrible at judging talent if this is the case. You said from the get go that
Bodine had little to no upside from what i remember.
Should of kept Whit for sure.
We do need a bigger scouting department. But we also need to move on from PA and Marv if we are ever going to win a
Playoff game IMHO.
