Gaither, Albert, Hudson, Asamoah, RT from either FA or draft...
I believe that Gaither is healthy enough. If you've payed attention to opponents field goal attempts, he is the middle man trying to block the kick, b/c he's ****ing huge. He has been stepping on the back of the longsnapper and trying his ass off to get in there to block the kick. You don't do that if you are really worried about your back, and you DEFINITELY don't ask someone with back problems to do something like that. Especially beings he's come down face first a few times.
I think, beings they had a shortened offseason, Haley didn't want wholesale change. You can see that in our draft as well. We've asked most up until this year, to play a large role and help, this year, not so much. Gaither had no offseason, so sign him for a year, an extended tryout, give him that full year to learn the playbook, then make the switch next year. Got to realize putting him at LT affects Albert too. So not only would Gaither have had to learn the entire offense in this short offseason, but Albert would have had to also.
Next year, we have a guy who had a whole year to learn, and a full offseason to get reps and make the offense second nature.
I have to believe this is true, it's my only hope we don't draft a LT #1 overall. This could be their plan and they still draft a RT #1 overall, wouldn't that be the shits? I guess it would be a solid OL though huh?
