A positive: Gosder Cherilus stonewalled Cameron Wake today

Thats true. I know there are other things that go with it but look at Fisher he's a LT turned RT and hes playing quite well to my knowledge. It's essentially the same thing really, you're still blocking for the QB, only difference is the side, that shouldn't take long. 

 

Didn't Mathis play SLB and Freeney play Rush last year now mathis has swapped (?) and is doing well.

 

They're professional athletes, surely they'd have the versatility to switch sides.

it is not that simple.  some guys can't make the switch.

Did y'all see what Randy Starks did to McGlynn on that one play? put McGlynn flat on his butt, good thing Luck got the ball off cleanly but that was funny/embarrassing

i saw that

 

i am sure mcglynn loved watching that back with the team.  the dude got destroyed.  just pathetic

I didn't see a whole lot out of Wake last year even going against the likes of Winston Justice.  I think he's a good player, but sometimes it seems that people hype him up  a little much.

Our line was a rock sandwich with marshmallow filling. 

 

The end result wasn't very appetizing to Luck, either.

I'd have to go do some research to see all of their salary cap hits but my initial reaction is "yes" but it's not that simple.  

 

See Vasquez deliberately took a low ball offer from Denver, probably because he wants to play for a team that has a chance at winning a SB.  I doubt he would have taken such a low ball offer from us.  

 

I believe the RT from Cincy re-signed at a much lower offer then Cher got, which leads me to believe we may have over paid for Cher.  I think Grigs was gonna give him what he wanted to prevent him from visiting the fins.  In doing so he made Cher the highest paid RT in the game.  

 

The other problem is, you take out all those guys, but you have to figure out who you are replacing them with?  Just some guy playing for the NFL min?  

 

That's a lot of work to do to look all that stuff up and calculate it all.  But I would guess that you could presuming that you filled those other spots with minimum wage players.

Andre Smith of the Bengals didn't get one offer from another team. Nobody trusted giving that guy big money.

And Vasquez didn't take a lowball offer.

Vasquez did take a low offer when you consider Levitre, a guy most people ranked him equally to took an offer paying him an average of 7.8 million with a 10.5 million signing bonus over 6 years while Vasquez took a 4 year deal paying an average of 5.8 million over 4 years.

 

He could have gotten more, but I think he wanted to play for the Bronco's.

Vasquez is not equal to LeVitre all at. Vasquez is a good, solid guard, nothing special. I can't remember anyone ranking him equal to LeVitre.

The Titans overplayed LeVitre IMO
