bird_1972 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 We just cant catch a break on the OL. It just hardens my resolve that we aim to take the best OT when we draft in the first next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswerdlw Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 So, our remaining tackles are Williams, Moses, Nsekhe, and Austin Howard. Our remaining guards are Bergstrom, Cooper, and Bowanko. Roullier starts at center. Now that Christian is out for the season, do we sign another tackle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morneblade Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 You know I saw the play in which it happened, he got rolled up, and got up limping. I thought "Jesus, is he hurt too?!" Then Ty was back in on the next series, so I didn't think anything more of it. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho fan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 What is with our O-line health.. I know its a rough sport but come on... how does this keep happening? If its just luck it seems the Skins have the worst. Guess they will be bringing in another body off the scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That's bad news for Christian. He was already a project with lots to work on to salvage that pick, and now he's got a mid-season MCL tear to recover and rehab from. Which means he won't be 100% by training camp, and even when he is, we'll have to be careful with him and worry about compensation injuries to his other leg, to his hammies and groin, etc. working his way back from that MCL. When all is said and done this will probably add a year to his development (assuming he has the potential to develop like Moses and Roullier did), which is both bad for us in the shorter term and the longer term as we'll have much less time to evaluate how worthy he is of an extension after year 4. What a disaster for a developmental OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswerdlw Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I like the idea of seeing what we have in Timon Parris. And I love his name because of the clear hog reference that Timon in The Lion King makes: "You can be a big pig too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyMalaise Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm a tad perplexed how Cooper is getting so much love from one game. Granted, he did about as well as can be expected given the circumstances but I've seen a lot of praise and some insinuate that we are fine at the position now. Let's wait and see how our OL performs against the divisional teams with so much to play for. He could just as quickly turn into a liability next week for all we know but I'm glad he did well Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Terrible news on Christian. Was looking forward to him gaining more time and developing. Dang if we aren't a bit snakebit with injuries to our team. The key is we are persevering, we aren't laying down confidence wise. We aren't thinking twice and we are moving forward. It's encouraging. Hope the young man gets well and back on his feet pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought last week. (when we had a healthy Christian) Surely there's a young stud stashed away on someones practice squad out there. The downfall to stealing from another teams PS is that the stolen player has to be on the active roster of the new team for several weeks. Ummm, with our rash of OL injuries I don't think that will be a problem. It's a great opportunity to infuse some youthful talent to our roster without even having to spend a draft pick. From a quick glance online, Vikings OT Storm Norton (big tall kid) and Ravens G Nico Siragusa are young'ns worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Of course we lose Christian early in the game. I continue to call bunk that OL have to have years of reps next to each other... for continuity. That we often hear quoted as important for OL to play next to the same guy for them to be their best. Here is my beef. They all have specific assignments no matter who the hell is next to them. You get a new guy in there and you know what, they are healthy and hungry. Its not always a negative to make a change, as long as they can handle the playbook enough to not blow assignments and get the QB smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The guy we have to bring in to replace Christian is Cornelius Lucas. Take a look at a profile of him here: https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2018/7/12/17536912/2018-los-angeles-rams-roster-preview-ol-cornelius-lucas-kansas-state Seems similar to Nsekhe in that he's also a very tall tackle who pass protects well but isn't a great pass blocker. He's a solid backup tackle who got caught in a numbers game in LA - he lost his job to a rookie 3rd rounder, who wasn't going to get cut. Given he played under McVay last year, my guess is he should have some familiarity with our offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Funny that lots of people here wanted to get Cooper in for a look in the past given his pedigree and raw talent and our stud OL coach, but it took an injury apocolypse for our FO to consider it. Not saying he's a hidden gem or a stud necessarily, but it seems so obvious that he was kind of a lump of talented clay that you'd at least want to take a look at, from a fan perspective...and here we finally are.
