After the Tunsil injury, Peters did nothing even though Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow were both available to help tackle and center positions. Not only did AP do nothing, he stated he felt offensive line was okay in a presser and seemed bewildered why the unit was even brought up. Egregious after losing a top NFL tackle and trying to play a guard at center.

Both Decker and Glasgow are still available so they are clearly not viable options. If they were they would've been signed long ago. The biggest negligence he had for the offensive line was once plan A for center, Linderbaum, was no longer an option. That he didn't really address a contingency for center for plan B, Allegretti. By all accounts this was a deep draft for center and he waited until 6th round instead of drafting one earlier, or getting a quality back up center in FA in February/March.

Wouldnt know if they were viable without bringing them in. Just cuz no one signed them doesnt mean they wouldnt come to work and be an improvement over this shit show.

Cushenberry was available too, and he got picked up by the Bills, and even though he is backing up McGovern (who is a very solid player), I have to imagine he is better than anyone we have at the position at the moment.

The only thing that I am aware of that we did to potentially bolster the line as to bring in DJ Humphries, who lasted about one Scaramucci before getting cut.

Cushenberry signed in March so wasn’t available in August. But he is an excellent example of who AP should’ve pursued after Linderbaum wasn’t an option

It's not clear they weren't viable options just because they haven't signed anywhere. Cannot safely make the conclusion. Neither player has announced a retirement for Decker nor Glasgow. Could be a contract issue.

Point being: Peters did NOTHING. He even doubled down in the presser offensive line was okay after the Tunsil inury and Algretti mess in August. Facts. Gross negligence when you have a stud qb on a rookie contract who nearly took his team to the SB year 1. I was floored at AP's inactions.

I stand corrected -- you are right about the March signing. But I agree that he would have been a good target. I still find it astonishing that so little effort was made to bolster the OL with a QB having JD5's injury history. Imagine him behind a really good line -- with even average skills players around him. We may never know what that looks like; it surely doesn't look like it now.

Of course, if Tunsil comes back healthy, he and Cosmi are anchors. Not sure if Conley is going to be more than average as he's been too inconsistent despite real flashes. But our LG and C situation is appalling, as is our overall O line depth. We are 3 players (at least) away from a good line -- LG, C, and a swing tackle.

I hate the fact that we end up looking toward the next season before Thanksgiving -- it seems like we do that most years.

Speaking of which, the Eagles may be tanking now, but they are going to be insane. They have now stocked picks for the next 3 years:
2027: 1st (2), 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th (3), 7th
2028: 1st (2), 2nd (2), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
2029: 1st, 2nd (2), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th

So in 3 years, 5 1st and 5 2nd rounders. Sheesh.

Roseman is a genius -- he drafted Jordan Davis with a 1st, got 4 1/2 years (and a Superbowl) and traded for a 1st and 2nd; traded for AJ Brown for a 1st and 3rd, had 4 years (and a Superbowl), and then got back a 1st and 5th; drafted Jurgens for a 2nd, got good years out of him (and Superbowl), and then traded for a 2nd and 5th. I mean, good grief.

Maybe we hire one of Howie’s assistants as gm. They learned under him, so that should have rubbed off.

I’m disappointed we didn’t upgrade the OLine or RB position
Even if the season is lost, we need to protect JD.


Side note, I hope the Vikings win the SB

Kirk will let them down.
