Beck Water Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 3 hours ago, HappyDays said: He was the starting center for the Chargers when we played them last year. I remember thinking how lucky we were to play against their 3rd center in our matchup, and then our interior DL did basically nothing. So maybe our coaches were impressed and figured he was worth a shot as a camp body if nothing else. Clapp started 11 games for the Chargers last year, but it looks as though he got injured his previous game and DNP against us. Edit: looked it up, he was on IR actually. Knee injury but couldn't find details about what it was. Joe Brady was apparently an offensive assistant with the Saints when Clapp was drafted (7th round) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll draft one somewhere. Word on the streets is there were communication problems between he and Morse. Durrrr if the coaches thought Edwards was a better LG than McGovern......wait for it....they would have started him at LG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I am not sure. I have only seen him play a few times. I guess I would say that I do not think they are done. I think they add a mid level free agent and draft some guys.

letsgoteam Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 For a veteran that has started games, I'm not sure what else you can ask for with reserve lineman. Isnt it pretty universal opinion (even on here) that "good" OL depth is pretty hard to come by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one did anything until the Oliver sack to end the game That was the perfect trap game look back at that brutal part of the schedule and where we were mentally and also with all the travel. Not a game to judge us for except for getting the win, as ugly as it was compared to the relative talent of the two rosters. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggerdaddynj Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Bates move still has me worried. Guy is with us for five years, plays every OL position, FO clearly values and judges his talent highly as evidenced by matching the ‘22 CHI offer sheet and keeping him here for five years. I’m all for developing young players like Alec Anderson and Van Denmark (and a ‘24 draft pick). But the difference between signing Clapp at up to $1.5M (or even a couple hundred grand less) as the back up depth at C, along with Anderson who literally has no game snaps at C, to McGovern who had 100 snaps at C (apparently at Penn St. 5-8 years ago and has none since four years in NFL), makes me feel a lot less safer than if we had scraped together $2M more to get Bates to his $4M for one more year on a SB contending team. And, Bates has the same significant depth for the entire OL like we had last year but who everyon agreed we were extremely luckily that we didn’t need to tap into it. I think we’d all agree that on a SB contending team having one more year with quality and extremely versatile depth on an OL that lucked out with no injuries last year would be better off with Bates. As for the fifth round pick, even giving Beane a higher success rating it’s still a coin toss. Edited March 23 by biggerdaddynj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability will be somewhere between last olineman on the team to PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
