Conn Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Stork definitely isn't getting a payday, we dealt for his rookie contract and that's part of the appeal for us. He has two more years on it, with his concussion issues he'd have to stay healthy and play lights out that whole time to get a real payday.

RandyHolt Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Under contract for 2 more years... ok thanks. I suppose 3 years from now, having started any games at all may help fatten the wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Scots "football players" are usually motivated enough to know if they actually want to play. The longer this takes, the less optimistic I am that he still has the fire necessary to play this game. edit. See post below. Glad to have him on board if his "fire" is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thank goodness he's finally in the fold and hopefully he can get up to speed before the Steelers game. They need as much help as they can get on the interior as well as against that Steeler pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 So how much does a C typically have to learn before he can be inserted into the lineup? Is it more so than other OL spots? This seems like a good move, though I suspect that it won't pay dividends in week 1. I think it might take a bit longer, and that assumes that he ends up becoming the starter which he might not.

He needs to not only pickup the scheme but also is responsible for calling out plays to the other OL and well, he does have the ball in his hands and has to get it in the QBs hands which at the pro level isn't as easy as it sounds plus know how he can backup in pass protection without stepping on the QB. Guys don't turn around to look when dropping back in pass protection, they just backup and gotta do it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if Long is the guard... could he call out the protection until Stork gets up to speed? He's been practicing at center all Summer.

I'm sure Stork will pick up the calls pretty fast either way being a veteran with so many starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get the starting nod over Kory by week 3 then this coaching staff has an unhealthy bias towards Kory. cause he is turrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I hope he shows up 100% mentally prepared and wants to be here. That he is pissed and wants redemption with a big chip on his shoulder. I don't want him to show up just because, needed the money, or whatever lame excuse. Of course i want him healthy, but come here to ball out or don't come at all. Hell, if worse comes to worse? LG candidate. Less direct helmet hits than center. I love his size and nasty attitude but show up and beast out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I could be wrong, but I think it would be really odd to have a guard calling out your signals. I expect Stork to stay at center and make the calls. I really think people are overstating how hard it will be for Stork to get up to speed. I expect Kirk to call out the protection he wants, Stork to relay it, then the line to communicate amongst themselves to get it right. Everyone acts like he's trying to teach calculus to a baby giraffe. I expect him to get some reps on Thursday. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what our Line needs. Of course #71 is no one's punk, but I personally believe that having a 'bad guy' among your Blockers sets a helluva tone for the Offense. With him, Trent, & Pierre, I see the fellas playing with some serious edge on Sundays. I like that! (and naturally, I don't want him collecting Personal Foul calls like stamps either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Maybe he could cover center until someone else was found, move over to LG later...my original point, not day 1 at LG. To prolong his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
