Popular Post Dunnie Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 After Fant and Becton ... yikes. This could be the lynchpin and source of massive frustration. If one of these guys goes down Zach will struggle. Hope JD has a plan. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSNY Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Would like it if JD can sign Jason Peters. He’d be this year’s Morgan Moses 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I think Eric Fischer is still available. Got to be a guy who can zone block. Not sure that's Peters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnie Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 My knowledge of OT schemes is limited .. so really appreciate the insight. Fischer is like 100 years old no ?Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be correct about Peters in zone blocking but isn’t that the same thing we said about Moses last year These are very good O Tackles who should be able to adapt maybe not to elite levels but levels better than Edoga and McDermott 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Bears think he is the second coming of Bobby Douglas who was a far better runner than a passer so Fields won’t need any protection whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lith Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 I see this thread as a sign of progress. In past years, we have had no WRs or TEs. It has been 50 years since we had a legit franchise QB. Our RBs have been aging guys on 2nd contracts whose best football was behind them. We have needed a pass rusher for 20+ seasons . We have seasons with no starting caliber corners, or safeties. We needed starting LBs. Our starting 5 on the OL was weak. If the biggest need is a back up OT, then we should be in pretty good shape. At least that is what I am telling myself until I see the play on the field. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to like him from some of the stuff I have read. Huge guy. Think he was on PS last year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the big guys take longer to develop. If he can step up into that role, that would be a big win. I don’t know how much interest these guys have in these older OTs. I think if they sign anyone, it’ll be a waiver pickup when the cuts start coming in. I think what they’re ultimately looking for is a replacement at RT for if/when Becton moves back to the left side. That’s the way I’d play it, I’d be looking strictly at RTs knowing that this year Becton is essentially the backup LT while starting on the other side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus with McDermott, Edoga, and our newest gem Max Mitchell in the fold it could be JD wants to see one of these guys step up and become our swing tackle. Max is probably going to be the guy, simply because the other two kinda suck and Max is the new kid we know the least about. Plus most back up tackles come from the 4th round, which is where we found Mr Max. Max was drafted for a reason, just needs time and reps to put it together. Hopefully this will become a focus during TC. We'll start to find out as preseason games come along, but I'm really hopeful at this point. If Max and the others just can't be relied upon enough, JD will pull another 11th hour trade, but I'm sure he's waiting to see what we already have.

I thought the word on Mitchell was that he probably needed a year in an NFL weight room. Developing into that RT would be a best case scenario. I’m not sure that he’s even locked into playing tackle at this point, though. I don’t think he’ll be the #1 backup at OT this year, at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, was just commenting on "eventual" replacement at RT if Becton moves back. Not for this year, unless dire straits, but down the road, maybe 2-3 years.
