Flozell Adams at right tackle?

I would not feel comfortable with two rookie tackles on opening day.

Agreed. Without question. Regardless of which one starts it would be nice to have Flozell just hanging around the bench JUST IN CASE. Plus there is always the possibility that Shanny may pick up another vet during the cuts coming up later this year. That is probably REAL likely. Then again maybe we draft 3 offensive linemen during those 3 days.

let's wait on Flozell, he will be there. If not, it's not the biggest loss. I am gonna sound like an old tune after a while, but there are probably 6 LT's being taken in this draft, one or two teams will release suitable RT candidates, and we can look at them, along with Levi Jones if he wants to play, and still let Heyer compete for the backup spots. Our line, while awful right now, has a good chance of looking decent by training camp, and if Bruce Allen does his job correctly, we will have plenty of bodies in house to compete, without bringing in an ex-cowboy who also happens to be the 2nd most penalized tackle, and a fairly dirty player (in the bad sense of the word).

I dont know man, I want us to get this tackle situation squared away asap also, but Ive seen that dude have more then a few HORRIBLE games. Itz only April, we still have a lot of time, we dont have to get Flozell Adams. He is not completely garbage, he is just ok. I think we can do better then him. Not to mention he's a cowboy. If we pick up any cowboys, they better be dam good or have some upside.

I say let Shanahan work his magic, he's suppose to have a good eye for oline talent.

the longer we wait the longer he has to entertain other deals...I wish we would get something done! He'd be a great hog on the line for sure.

please don't even try to compare a player like flozell, who is very penalized and dirty, to the hogs, I don't know a better class of OLmen then them and Chris Samuels was a Great Hog on a mediocre line, Flozell would be more like a runt sent to an early death...

Lets hope so, but the trend seems to be looking at power guys, a little different from the shanahan norm (slim, athletic, agile OL). Whatever he does, there is one thing for certain.

It cannot be worse than last year. It just can't.

You bring up an outstanding point that I didn't think about.
However, being a cap free year...lets sign EVERY free agent OT out there, then just release them as we upgrade....screw the signon bonus part....we can really score if you are willing to give that strategy a shot.

so let him go.. like we did Pashos and Clifton

other guys will get cut, become available for cheap, etc as the off-season goes on

We didn't let those guys go...they weren't serious in signing with us anyways. Clifton especially used us just to get the Packers to pay him more and I have my suspicions about Pashos also. I've heard it directly from GB fans.

haha, very true...but he'd be better than a hoggette! I still think Heyer is a mini hog...he'd be a good guy to have as a backup though...just don't see him as a long term RT in this league.
