It's hard to tell. Were those HC or GM decisions? How much say did Reid have in the draft?

Personally I don't think Linkenbach will play RG unless everybody else is truly awful. I think he's mainly here to backup RT, so Stephenson can backup LT.

It is a scary situation. Pretty sad considering how little Schwartz and Asamoah went for. What really makes me feel bad though is a hall of fame caliber running back like Jamaal Charles having to run behind one of the worst (at least on paper) chiefs o lines in the past decade. Hopefully they will surprise me though.

I think based on your previous response, you really mean staggered.

They've brought these guys in in chunks and they all leave in chunks, leaving us with gaping holes.

They haven't successfully been able to stagger or trickle it, which would have avoided us ever being in the situation where 4/5 of our line is brand new at the beginning of a season.

Linkenbach is probably going to be the 2nd RG and RT.

Could have fixed ALL this shit just by drafting Johnny Manziel.

God damn Cleveland

So close, so close

Why give up two seconds for a veteran QB only to go into complete rebuild mode, not protect him and don't give him any weapons?

Asamoah was a liability and I'm glad he's gone.

I hope Heck finds a way to sweat his ass right on over to the bench.

Agreed.

I've been banging that drum for 2 years.

Dorsey and Reid licking their chops over the castoffs come cutting time.

We are not at the top of the food chain this year, so we won't be picking up those gems like we did last year.

Our best hope is that we can sign some veteran preseason cuts that get bounced by younger guys for other teams.

I actually like Watkins winning that last Guard spot, I like the way he looked in that SD game

SPATCH 05-11-2014 07:42 AM

Not really worried about the OL. You don't need a world beater OL in today's football. Just need something solid.

Fisher - Allen - Hudson - Johnson - Stephenson

Solid enough to me.

*some of you guys are sleeping on my dude Rishaw.

Mr. Arrowhead 05-11-2014 07:43 AM

and this is the true fans nightmare I guess, we didnt take a o linemen until the 6th round
