OTAs this week

[oldno82]

When camp and the pre-season get going, we'll have a better feel for how the O-line will hold up this year. Right now I do think last year's sucky coaching and Faalele were the biggest issues. Vega will really help the line play. Depth is an issue. Center might be, but I'm willing to give Pinter and last year's backup a chance.

Na, just refine the talent. Block this guy, watch that guy, pretty "simple", it is just a matter of order which the previous coach clearly could not teach

That’s assuming the trash heap center can standup.  Also assuming Stanley can stay healthy.  I think rose is where you are referring.  But if those 2 spots are where I expect them to be this ol is in bad shape.

Well, you are assuming Pinter won't pan out nor will Bullock when he gets healthy, nor will Gwyn nor Dawkins at center.

You also assume that Stanley won't stay healthy. Quite a lot of assumptions on your part partner.

I think the new line coach and his new assistants will be much, much better than the old man friend of Harbs brought in last year. Shoot, before the death of the original line coach, Faalele actually played pretty well, well enough that the offense was top 5.

So I think this new coach can do just fine with better talent.

And the whole line played well coordinated football. D'Allesandris was the coach back then and after they got his replacement, the line was never the same.
