What does everyone think about the ole 'kick the tires' thread, if this were to happen? Im all for interior line help that is young, strong and has a pedigree (1st rd pick, 25yo, Outland winner)?

 

...miss a WHOLE year due to a knee scope?....

 

'He was the 28th overall pick in the 2016 draft and sat out all of last year following a knee scope and conditioning issues. The new regime doesn't seem to be a huge fan of Garnett, who was ex-coach Chip Kelly's final first-round selection in San Fran'

Chip Kelly and the 49ers. I barely remember that stop. His pro career was quite lacking.

 

He fits a need and would bring more competition but lazy and hurt doesn't fit the process.

Apparently he could have come back but they IR'd him as a message "yo dude, you didn't show up ready to play, get with the program"

Well his father played 3 games for Bills.

 

He (Garnett) is an example why guaranteed contracts are not always a good thing.

 

Part of the issue is they went to a zone blocking scheme (our guard Miller also has issues with it last year) and not only is coming back from a small injury 49ers also put him on full year IR to have him reshape his body. 

 

Sound familiar?

Given the way they have churned through players, they could easily just wait on his injury and then release or trade him as they have done with other players.

Problem is that LG spot and depending on how Miller fits with the new system the RG spot could both be big issues. Enough so that McBeane might have to take a chance on an O-line player if they offer an upgrade.

:lol:.......Kelly twice won 10 games with Philly in his 4 year NFL career...........twice more than the Bills have in the past 18 years.

 

His impact on the SB win was significant as well.   That was basically Nick Foles running Chip Kelly offense against New England.

I personally like John Miller just ask him to do what he is good at......

 

Move people around with that brute force of his

 

Dont ask him to pull and make blocks downfield
