Gibbs and Bugel are great at coachspeak, but I prefer listening to the anonymous execs from other teams to get real opinions. There is a reason Heyer went undrafted. No way in holy hell he's a starter. And we're in deep shit at left guard people. I wish we could get a damn lineman from Atlanta for Brunell.

I do not think that we're in as bad of a position at LG as you may think. I believe that when CS is back the LG position will be better just playing next to him. Remember that during the OTA's and Training Camp until Chris got hurt Tod Wade was learning next to Samuels. Remembering that the Oline needs to gel and have chemistry do not get bent out of shape due to their recent not so spectacular play.

As far as listening to other teams Execs about players. I do not buy into that. While a player might not look good for your club, doesn't mean that he will not perform for another. Case and point Jerimiah Trotter, Walt Harris, Fred Smoot etc etc etc. You can even look at the many late round picks, and UFA's that blow up, because somebody else didn't see anything in them. I am not about to develop that list. I would like to point out that our coaches see something in the kid and only time will tell what caliber he truly is. Right now however it is obvious that he is a project.
