34-78-83 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'm seeing too now that Gandy's failings in pass protection unfortunately outweigh some decent production he's shown in the running game. Might as well get Peters in the spot he will ultimately be taking over sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Ranchod Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I like the idea of cutting Gandy, but do we really want to switch Peters' position yet again? How about letting him develop into a dominating right tackle and work on finding the left tackle seperately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Unfortunately, we'll probably just miss getting that tackle by 2-4 picks in the draft and, guess what, LT's worth a damn don't hit free agency. I love it, we're @%$@ed!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 OMFG that was an abortion out there at LT today. I remember one moment when Gandy gave up either sack 3 or 4 and the announcers said "Gandy makes a crucial mistake, you can't lunge at a speed rusher" So he gets beat physically AND mentally. I thought he was a servicable option, but you don't get made to look that bad even on your worst day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 I agree, and was hoping for the Peters move to LT all offseason with a veteran stopgap at least at RT. We could use a DT who could stop the run just about as bad as well. LT's can't be obtained with a quick trip to the corner drugstore unfortunately. I hope somehow we can at least make one of our lines a strength by next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB2004 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 It is time to upgrade the position no matter the cost. You can only get by so long...................... 804580[/snapback] I think a lot of times when we're winning it's a lot easier to ignore the weaknesses. Now that we are losing they are getting more exposed. Mike Gandy would be a good backup left tackle for us. Not a starting left tackle for us.

He was on his buttox for half the game. This game proved Marv's philosophy of how a team wins in the trenches, too bad the Lions proved it.

Very few runs left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Brady Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Why does everyone call Gandy a turnstile, that would suggest he actually moves....He's more like a telephone pole, players just run around him and make a play. After how many years now, McNally can't build a compotent line??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense runs around him, and he falls over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mile High Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 He has NO footwork, he makes things up as he goes along, he has no footwork, he bends at the waist, he has no footwork, Gandy flat out was awful today. Your line next week should look like this: Peters, Reyes, Folwer, Preston, Pennington 805088[/snapback] I'm not one to jump all over changing the line around, but today they (mainly Gandy) were horrid. During key times. The coaches see the same game we do and one would think that shuffling the line around or even getting one of our draft picks in there wouldn't be a step backwards. Time for Jauron and the coaches to shake things up a little bit up front and make someone an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
