I thought he was solid there for us in 2018. He was horrible at RG. I thought Brian O'Neil was an upgrade though.

The Giants seem like a huge mess. I wonder if Shurmur makes it to 2020.

I'll say this about Clemmings...he keeps getting contracts even if they aren't big ones. According to sport trac he has made over 4.6 million from 3 different teams. I'd say it's a combination of him actually having some actual talent and teams being desperate and not having better options.

Clemming (27) and Beaver (25) were both upside guys when we drafted them. I think they are both pretty young yet too even though both seem like they have been around forever though.

NOTE: Aviate Collins is already 26 - Pat Elfein is 24 - Garrett Bardbury is 23.

Trent Williams is demanding a trade out of Washington. I wonder what it would take to get him. That's the kind of piece you add to make a real title run this year.

Hmm...it's an interesting story. I wonder if Washington would have interest in Reiff as a replacement in addition to other assets.

Trent Williams would be great here. He would be a great addition. Would the Rudolph restructure help make it work?

The question to me is what is Williams really upset about? If it's money I think they figure it out.

Meanwhile I got a chuckle out of this typo in this article.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001033147/article/bruce-allen-knows-truth-of-trent-williams-absence

"It was only four years ago that Williams signed a five-year extension, though in the world of escalating salaries for offensive tackles that seems like [ions] ago."


Also last week on the local ESPN station they asked who said this week they would rush for 2,000 yards this season. I said without hesitation to the guy I work with "Adrian Peterson". Yep that's who it was. Lol

That is funny. It would be cool if he did it, but he is so delusional it is frightening.

How did we let this thread die?

I was wondering do the Packers and Patriots shift linemen around or do they keep them at one position.

Aka flip "RT to LT" or "LG to LT".
