This is the depth chart today if everyone is healthy.  Good is a better tackle than guard IMO.  Haag lost his starting spot partly because he can't stop a bull rush.  To me this says Haag and Clark need to improve a lot in order to start.  From what I have seen and read Vujnovich impressed from the get go and earned the starting spot.  Based on our roster this is the best OL combination to start the season.  Our backups at T and G are suspect to say the least.

The OL thing is kinda funny.

i'm starting to think they pull nam s from a hat each day to see who plays where. I don't ever remember this mich flipping around.

literally castanzo and kelly are the only two playing at only one position.

well, maybe it will confuse the crap out of opposing defenses.

malik not starting? smh

 

Did you honestly think he'd start after missing so much practice and preseason games?

 

They'll ease him in, eventually he'll be the starter if he earns it.  But no one is going to hand it to him.

Y hell no. How often does a player actually hold out through the season. Plus if Quinn is 100% again he'll be putting some pressure on us. And Hooker will be starting by week 3-4-5

I think hes gonna be out. He hasn't ended his hold out yet and tomorrow will be half the week gone. I think the Rams even listed someone else as starter over him.

I recall mentioning slightly after we drafted him that Butler would start the season off as the starter. I think that Hooker will start mid season but i dont think he is ready to start as of yet.

The best way to learn is by experience, and being thrown into the fire. This is becoming true with 1st round QBs, and a lot of other 1st round picks. Malik is not a late round pick that has no idea what he is doing, he's not someone who is way behind on a loaded depth chart at S, we drafted him in the 1st round, as a huge steal, to hold down the S spot for years to come. If he struggles, it's ok, he shouldn't be sitting behind someone like Butler. There is no substitute for experience.

Why do you think that a rookie will be better than a seasoned veteran? 

I don't know that, but he's our 1st round pick that was, in reality, a top 5 guy in the entire draft. Butler isn't special, he has no business starting over Hooker. Hooker doesn't need to be babied. He should be starting day 1 to get valuable experience whether he struggles or not. He's not learning anything on the bench. If he's hurt, that's another story, but I haven't heard anything that says he's injured to where he can't start week 1.

I don't get what they are doing with the o-line but I am not the coaches so I will sit back and hope it works.

 

Yeah, that's how I feel. They see these guys every day, they want to put the best out there.

 

I just wonder if it would be the same line if Luck was playing.

I am not buying this OL lineup. Makes no sense to make drastic changes now. I will believe it when I see it. 

And sadly I think we will.

 

C'mon Chuck, at least give us a few weeks before we pop our tops on your questionable moves.

    • I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.    
    • Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.
    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
