    In your Mind..Who are the best OLT's available?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Probably Marcus McNeill (SD) and Donald Penn (TB). But if there is no cap, and it looks like there won't be, they wont be UFA's and will likely be tendered at the 1st round level, if not more. As for drafting one, there is no stud in this year's draft. That's why I wanted them to play Levitre at LT.

     

    yep...what he said.....

     

    Marcus McNeill, San Diego Chargers (26)

    McNeill isn’t playing at an elite level this year, but is still an above average left tackle. He’s one of the “bigger” names at the left tackle position thanks to his spectacular and deservedly-hyped rookie season. McNeill has also been undercompensated the last few years playing on his rookie contract as a 2nd round pick, which may incline him to ask for more money than he “deserves.” Any of the Chargers could feasibly be had this offseason and McNeill is no different, but with some of the offensive line woes of the Chargers, McNeill may be one of their top priorities. His long-term neck and back problems could be in the back of the team’s mind as well.

     

     

     

    Jared Gaither, Baltimore Ravens (24) – Restricted FA

    After being taken off the field on a stretcher in New England, Gaither luckily suffered no season or career threatening injury. His return to the field has helped the Ravens a little, but never really regained his level of play prior to the hit. The offensive line, Gaither included, has been one of many reasons for the team’s downhill turn. Still, with him on one side and impressive rookie Michael Oher on the other, the Ravens have found their bookend tackles. Even if the team and Gaither can’t settle on a long-term deal this offseason, they still have the ability to put a tender on him. At the very least, it would force teams to give up serious compensation for his services. Gaither’s length and athleticism are the ideal mold of a modern day left tackle.

     

     

    Donald Penn, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (27)

    Penn is one of the more underrated left tackles in football today and will be one of many talented offensive linemen set to become unrestricted free agents this year. While Penn hasn’t had his best season this year, he has proven in the pass to be one of truly balanced left tackles. Penn has done a nice job in the past of keeping the blindside clean of pressure and the Buccaneers have done a nice job this year running over left tackle. The Buccaneers should try to re-sign him quickly because a young left tackle on the market may see some high-end coin.

     

    Jermon Bushrod, New Orleans Saints (26) – Restricted FA

    The Saints called upon Jermon Bushrod to play left tackle the entire year after placing Jammal Brown to the IR due to a hip injury and a sports hernia. Bushrod has done a commendable job replacing the All-Pro Brown, who has a voidable contract at the end of this season. If Brown decides to become a free agent, the Saints would have an interesting choice. Brown will be coming off an injury and will ask for significant money, but has played at a Pro Bowl level whereas Bushrod is the younger, cheaper option with upside. Both of these players are talented enough and good enough to play left tackle on many teams.

    So did the billboard message go up??

    Change it to Billick?

     

    (** UPDATE** As of 7:30pm Saturday, $500.82 has been raised for Hunter’s Hope)

     

    **UPDATE** The $1125.00 for the billboard has been raised. All donation money is now going directly to Hunter’s Hope

     

    We’re having a week-long drive to raise money for a billboard on behalf of Buffalo Bills fans. On Monday January 11th we are going to erect a billboard on the 190 Thruway downtown, calling for the Buffalo Bills to hire Bill Cowher.

     

    If the Cowher situation is resolved or changes while the billboard is up, we can quickly change it to send another message.

     

    Any extra money raised after the $1125 necessary will be donated to Jim Kelly’s “Hunter’s Hope” foundation.

    Tebow a first-rounder

    Jax absolutely needs Tebow to sell tickets.....besides haven't you heard the rumors......the rest of the league is supposedly going to conspire to allow Jax to get him( total nonsense)......i doubt they take him at #10 or 11.......but might trade up to get him later in the first round.

    Maybe not...but this does...

     

    “And from the coaching standpoint of it, you know, I’ll be very candid with you and say it’s nice to think that people would consider you but the reality of it is is that after 30 great years I’m really not going to go back down that road again.”

    Thank God! NO MARTY BALL...but I will take Brian ball!

     

    that article and politically correct quote is 45 days old.....things change.

     

     

    Marty's own son was just quoted 3 days ago as saying it was possible, i would say next to marty's wife, his own son has the most credible and reliable insight into his fathers thinking:

     

    "He's told me for the last probably two years that he's done," Brian Schottenheimer said. "I think if it was the right job, I think he would listen, but at the end of the day, it would take a heck of a lot to convince him to come off the golf course and go back to work."

    i thought this post was about an avid bills fan having a weak moment.

     

    "Every year I put myself through the emotional roller coaster of hope-reality-despair. Why do we continue to punish ourselves?.......So how to cope when your team is in disarray ?

     

    so i just think a few words of wisdom might help.....

    :thumbsup: Ummm... the Germans didnt bomb Pearl Harbor... Japan did

     

     

    geez, i hate explaing my humor.......ever watch the movie Animal House ?.....thats the start of the famous lines when future senator john blutarski (bluto) was rallying the troops......

     

    D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

    Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

    Otter: Germans?

    Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

    Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...

    [thinks hard]

    Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

    [runs out, alone; then returns]

    Bluto: What the !@#$%$%^ happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...

    Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

    Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

    D-Day: Let's do it.

    Bluto: *Let’s do it*!

    Cowher the Cowher is Cowher for Cowher in Cowher's Cowher

    here's my take on Joe Logan's source......it's Jim Kelly. Kelly is so frustrated with the bills last ten years of futility, that he is willing to risk feeding this Joe Logan info , in order to get cowher the job. the ends justifies the means. i think kelly is the only one willing to stand up to the potential rath of ralph when the "leaker" is found out. in the unlikely event it's an employee, other than russ brandon, that employee can kiss their job goodbye.

    Marshawn Lynch steals 20$

    It doesn't sound like BS completely. It sounds like Lynch was hitting on this dude's wife and doing it all wrong. The guy is jealous and mad at his wife. He is also taking it too far.

     

    thats my read on it.....

     

    ..but it also shows just how damn stupid marshawn is....he just can't stay out of trouble......highly unlikely he stays with buffalo to complete his current contract.
