    Wisniewski is not a very good run blocker. And while Watt is a good lead blocker, I'd be surprised if he was in on offense more than 15 to 20% of the time.

      maybe they are planning to move feiler to LG and let Wisniewski be the primary backup at C/G.

        This is what I would have expected, but the claim is that they told Wis he has a shot to be a starter.

          No problem. We know that AV, Pouncey, and DD are starting and where. We know that Feiler is starting, but we don't know where. Now we throw Okorafor, Wis, and Banner into the steel cage and see who walks out. Winner gets a spot and Feiler goes to the other spot.

              Most of us work the entire year. Wish I was paid millions to have an ‘off season’ where I could blow off months preparing for the ‘season’.

              But who knows? Maybe he’ll have a typical strong September.

              Oh wait........
              heh.. don’t we all wish we could get paid millions and have an offseason?

              my wife is in education and people get mad because she has summers off.

              but now parents are seeing why teachers should make more money... lol.

                I think we are definitely headed that way. But the more I read about Wisniewski, the more I see he is a backup/fall back option in case of injury. We need to still draft a real starter. I don't think Wisniewski can be a legit starter over the season. He's good as a spot start here and there. Yes he'll get a chance to prove different but I think he is what he is at this point.

                I think we go O-line with our first pick and probably add another in the new free agent crop that will come after the draft.

                      seriously, you wish children should be allowed to be spanked in school?

                      you really are an idiot, but then I already knew that....

                            I think best case would be a shortened one.
                            Maybe half.
                            How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

                              I do. A month and a half from now, I'm thinking things will be better.
