Thanks for the numbers Joelist. (08-31-2022, 03:56 PM)Nepa Wrote: Well, relative to the miserable PFF pass grades we saw posted for the preseason with both Volson and Carman, this would be just fine. Those Carman/Volson preseason pass grades were head-shakingly poor. (Their run grades were fine.) All true.

Pollack wouldn't of wanted him if he didn't think he would fit his scheme. (08-31-2022, 04:04 PM)Frank Booth Wrote: Scharping seems to be an OK pass blocker. Thats what this team needs True.

Between our new guys in Cappa, Karras and Collins and Jonah, Volson and Carman we should be much better this year.

Mixon hits holes fast/hard and doesn't need as good of blocking, but, since it's a passing league now and Burrow is the face of our franchise, protecting him is most important. A strong run game is important, and I think we should be better in that department, but, even if we stay the same, I feel like Mixon will still be near the top of the league in rushing.

I like the Scharping signing and think it helps solidify our line, but I also hope that it makes the guys around him better and makes Volson work even harder to get on the field so (1) we have good depth and (2) Scharping knows that he has to perform or Volson is there to take his spot!

Love that stat of only 6 sacks with over 2,000 snaps. What great depth at the very least. Just what we needed.

Both Karras and Jonah WILL help Volson no doubt and agree with everything you say here as usual Au165.

I always say you can hide one weakness on an Oline you can't hide 2+ and we had at least 2 that year and for most the year 3+. Wild, good for Jordan.

Great depth signing. Just what we wanted really. Guess this means Spain isn't coming back.

If I’m Carman realty just sunk in
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

And watch as the winning TD pass in the Superbowl goes from Joe Mixon to Scharping on a trick option play featuring Aaron Donald getting pancaked by Joe Burrow!

We needed a backup RG

Late on replying to this but this was a solid pickup. You get a young guard that can possibly play emergency tackle. I'd assume if he comes in and picks up the system quick they'll make a corresponding cut on the OL and bring back Allen officially right before the Steeler game.

Definitely a nice pickup for us.

I remember liking him as a draft prospect in 2019 but thinking the 2nd round was a little high for him (I liked him in the 3rd to 4th round range) because I didn't expect a guy from Northern Illinois to be ready to start for a year or two and we needed immediate help on the Oline.
Sounds like he has had his ups and downs and may be capable of delivering around average (Or perhaps "acceptable") play at the guard position which, you know, would be an upgrade over what we currently have backing up our guards. Nice pick up.

Seems like the Texans were looking to add Sharping back to their roster.
