    The O-Line will be fine. The offense now has the weapons needed to get the ball out quick to playmakers. They will lean in that and the running game early on until health is on their side.

    Even worse that they had Booker on the board. If Lamar goes down, I would have felt more comfortable with a player like Booker carrying the load.

    Someone was arguing with me on here after the draft that Bergstrom was signed to be the starting center. smh

    Forum question: When I click on "Today's Posts" I get an error message that says I "don't have permission to access this page."

    I get same message when trying to access Clutchfans Feedback forum.

    PM'd a mod weeks ago, no reply. What am I doing wrong? :)

    I'm a big fan of Tyler Ervin's potential, but I also wanted Booker over him and also valued DL and OL over RB at that point, but still wanted Booker.

    I won't crap on the pick though because I really like Ervin and we haven't seen them use him in pre-season at all the way they are using him practice. I still expect people to end up loving Ervin.

    Next year's draft is going to desperately need to offensive line talent and overall defensive talent.

    Will they place ervin on practice squad? maybe cut hilliard and keep blue? They love them some blue. I think grimes should be kept over blue.

    I still think they should keep Hilliard.

    IMO we did. We signed Allen and Bergstrom and drafted Martin. Martin was doing great in TC until he got hurt.

    Yeah. I'm sure Ervin will work out eventually. It seems like the return game is just not going to be great regardless of who is returning the kicks.

    I don't know about that. Hilliard's been the primary backup during the preseason.

    With Brown out, I was almost sure they were going to pick a tackle. Chris Clark can't be the long term answer. He is barely the short term answer.

    Clark is a really solid backup.

    He played well last year.

    Ervin won't make it to practice squad. He's either on the 53, ir or he's on someone else's 53.

    2 locks at the rb are LM and Ervin.

    Ervin dropped the punt vs SF, right?

    He's in the doghouse, but will make the team.

    I haven't read anything saying Ankle surgery would keep him out 17 weeks. Link please?


    Legitimately curious as I keep reading this. I was thinking 8 weeks or so if he had surgery

    So we needed to sign or draft a LT?

    We would have lost out on Nick Martin or small hands. Have to roll with Brown one more year with Clark as backup. Next year is all in with high pick LT in the draft

    Rookie mid-round LT would have made all the difference this year.
