Liam Eichenberg told Omar Kelly he thinks his best position fit is RG but thats where Hunt played. So with the signing of Brewer to play Center, if we move Liam to RG and sign Connor to play LG our OL would be set. Of course Connor probably won't be ready to start the season but we did re-sign Robert Jones who can play LG.
Tua would not be successful with Jones, Brewer, Eich in the middle. None of those 3 are even average at pass blocking.
Eich was a 2nd round pick and will have to start somewhere so we might as well start him at the position he feels most comfortable which is RG. We just signed Brewer to be our starting Center. We probably are not going to re-sign Connor. I think we are going to draft the U Washington LT Fautanu and play him at LG as a rookie then move him to LT in 2025 when Armstead retires.
Thats for the best we don't need to sign anymore injury prone players.
Quite right…
That would be crazy. With so many holes that seems like that would be a luxury pick
Yea, cap probably makes getting 2 great guards unrealistic. So might have to live with Brewer and Eich at C and RG, provided the LG is capable of handling a pass rushing DT 1 on 1. That way you can scheme, double team with those 2 guys, etc. But we saw 3 bad interior guys late last season. It isn't pretty. It gives the defense a place to attack. And it's not just getting Tua hit. Tua is short. He can't see if there's pressure inside.
Eich has shown at every position that he is not a NFL player.
This right here! I've said it before, but Eich is our canary in the coal mine. If he starts, we are doomed. If he's a backup, we're in imminent danger. The only way we're safe is if he is injured or cut.
Yup, I'm completely for cutting Eich, ive been raging at since those bad snaps in the preseason and he only got worse. Williams is likely a lost cause. He was pushing for too much money last year and I only see it getting worse. Let some other team overpay for his injury prone arse.
