    I think if we have a big offensive add in UFA it will be LG. I think Dotson is currently the weakest link and pushing him to depth is probably a good way forward.

    I think Chuks will get the nod as a starter again (was he our best lineman again?) and we won't give up on Moore yet.

    If we get a tackle, I bet it will be someone like this. Who maybe competes to start and at least gives us a back up tackle.

    I wonder if anyone has ever looked at the success rate on big UFA signings. My guess is that it's not very good. And the problem with OL is that everyone is desperate for guys, so really good ones rarely become available until they're over the hill of they want insane money.
    The worst part of KD's game seems to be between the ears. Dalton Risner from DEN might be a good add to compete with Dotson. He was playing well until he was IR'd (not sure why).

      I think that the organization saw an OL that got better each week as the season went on. That translated in Najee having his best games at the end of the season.

      Some fans may lose their minds, but the team isn't going to blow up the OL this off season. I think that they, like me, see ILB, CB and DL as bigger Round 1 priorities. I think we'll see a OL taken in Round 2 but not Round 1.

        I've seen his physique.
        I'd say he is mostly FEAST.

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

        TCFCLTC-
        The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

          Serious comment:
          In other words: Willie Colon (I will say Colons highs were higher).

            We won a Super Bowl with Willie.
            Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

            I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

              I think they could draft a LT and bump Moore, Jr. into LG. He is a pretty decent run blocker. I still think it may come don to who is available when we draft.

              Correct, Dotson's problem is from the neck up. He's a decent candidate for B-U. We also need to cut Greene sooner than later.

              I did see LeGlue signed with the Titans, good luck to him. I think he got a bum deal here.

                Marvel Smith was a damn good LT taken in the 2nd round. I'd definitely learn to live with that quality of a LT moving forward and we have an extra 2nd round pick to get one. If they don't draft a LT by the 2nd round this year, they will never bother putting enough draft capitol to land one, instead just basing the position on "hope" not taking clear action, which is gad damned stupid.

                    he did?

                    don’t understand why he didn’t get more time here.
