I hear you and I believe I understand the cross training and how that will make them look worse. I’m still concerned they are simply too young. They need one more decent veteran with experience imo. If either of the two rookie pan out, it might not be an issue next year.
Put Saffold on this team and I’d feel good about it.
Plus I think we have tradeable DB assets so we could acquire a mid level journeyman guard from a team short in the defensive backfield.
funny that one of the biggest questions surrounding goff was his ability to play under center.

To be honest? I don’t think anyone questioned his ability to do that. I think the only point made was that mastering the art of dropping back while making post-snap reads was just one more thing he had to learn to do. I don’t think any qb has ever failed because they could not master playing under center. The issue is more, how much does he have to learn and therefore how much more does he have to do to play the pro game and THEREFORE how much longer does it take for college qbs who haven’t done it. It’s a time factor, not a “can he or can’t he” factor.I dunno zn. I seem to recall reading on several occasions that QBs who don’t go under center at college struggle with that at the NFL level and some just never get comfortable with it. I also seem to recall a few articles stating it specifically in reference to Goff.
Perhaps my memory is faulty.
I think it is possible that they keep only eight OL and put two or three on the practice squad. I also think it is likely they keep five cornerbacks as they have that many good ones. Could keep five outside linebackers if one or two are versatile enough to play a good bit inside if necessary.
