Projected Lineup... Your thoughts?

[diehardskin2982]

I would like to see the o-line become:

LT: T. Williams
LG: Shawn Lauvao
C: Josh Leribeus
RG: Spencer Long
RT: Moses Morgan

The sooner we get this line up on the field, the better. Give them time to develop and play with each other in real action. Stop shelving young talent.

I would love a OL like that.

^^ I would too. My biggest concerns with that line-up is that it makes a couple of big assumptions: (1) Moses lives up to his talent and doesn't go all "Winston Justice" on us; and (2) LeRib gets his lard butt motivated and plays to his alleged potential. I think that one of those two things is unlikely to occur. I don't know which it will be although my money is on LeRib never becoming a serviceable lineman.

Obviously, there are assumptions about Luavao and Long too - I just think they are more likely to pan out.

I dunno...a football kinda looks like a meatloaf, I doubt LeRibeus would let go of it.

What type of football-shaped meatballs have you been eating?

Draft picks tend to get better by playing in games. At some point during the season the young bucks need to take over.

True, but having two rookies on the right side of the line to start the season seems awfully ambitious. Don't get me wrong -- if they outshine the incumbents, so be it. But it's not like either were considered 1st round OL studs and it may not be realistic to pencil them in as starters. I realize the strong desire to move on from the Chester-Polumbus matadors; I share it. But I think it will take some time -- perhaps a good part of the season to work toward that goal.

Thank You!

Why is everyone crying to get the rookies in ASAP? The line wasn't that bad last year and putting rookies on the same side of the line is very risky. People are forgetting about this "adjustment period" it takes for rookies to adapt to the NFL.

i am not expecting playoffs this season, let the rookies get wet.

If the rookies can't beat out Chester and Polumbus then we in trouble.

[warriorzpath]

Long is more ready than Moses because there is more to be learned at the Tackle position. But it's going to need to be gauged on a player by player development basis. Can't just throw a player in there if he's not ready whether it's the first game or it's the last. And you can't just throw a player in the game primarily for the sake of his development when he's not ready.

what frikkin team were u watching last year? the only thing that worked was the zone blocking in the running game. Our pass protection was horrendous. If we pass protect again this year like we did last, I am frightened for RG3's career aspirations. Chester, Monty and Polumbus really sucked a golfball through a garden hose last year.

Their pass protection was absolute liquid shit.

looks like a good lineup to me, I think our d will be much much better..

Our offensive line scares me. The whole thing except for Trent. There is nobody else on the team that makes me feel any better about it either. I think Moses will be an upgrade but he is a rookie. Im hoping Thomas can move into a starting role also at S. Our front seven on D and the skill positions on O are the tits though.

You and me both. Tyler freakin Polumbus is absolute trash. It is one thing to go with experience over youth and a complete other thing to go with it over trash.
