Boras…now THAT’s a name. It would be a good name for a gladiator.

I think his name alone is good for an extra TD or two a game.

And ya gotta’ like the cut of his jib.

Now that’s the look of a guy who’s mission in life is to ‘by Gawd get things done!”
He’s here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and he’s all outta’ bubblegum.

Exactly. The Offense is Saved.

Well, seems to me, GR gets beat in a multitude of ways.
Sometimes I swear, it just looks like he is not a true LT.
Maybe the “spread offense theory” (SOT) will turn out
accurate, and he’ll blossom in year THREE,
but I’m skeptical. He looks like he gets beat
physically too much, to my untrained eyes.

Let us all hope the SOT is true, and they do not
need to draft another LT. It would be great
if they could spend that high pick on a WR
or DE or QB.

Well you always ask that 🙂 And I dunno about Pa, but almost none of us
pay attention to OTHER teams OLines. Its just not something the average
fan knows about. So, let me ask YOU? Do ‘you’ know whether other teams
have lost a lot of OLinemen and still had winning seasons? I mean, do you study that history yourself? Cause ‘we’ dunno 🙂

(On what Boras can bring to the offense)
“There’s some different thoughts. Stimulate the staff. A little more creativity. But, it’s run game. We’re lacking the run game efficiency right now and it all starts right there. Rob, wherever he’s been, he’s been very successful with respect to the run. So, that’s where it’s going to start.”

“What I’m anticipating is it’s play selection, it’s calls, it’s adjustments and things like that. It’s commitment to it as far as the play calling is concerned. Expanding on some things that we need to do and then hopefully pushing things down the field as a result of it, because that’s what we haven’t been able to do.”
————————

Well maybe Boras has a better feel for the Run game,
at least. Ya know. Hope springs eternal.

I wonder if Kroenke had anything to do with it?

Well you said “most” of the reasons are bogus — what are the reasons that
are not bogus?

and therefore, he must be able to pass-block.

Well athlete does not mean pass blocker per se. Pass blocking is technique and awareness. Athlete means potential for SUPERIOR pass blocker. But until he learns the technique and gains awareness, he is going to be more limited.

IMO every complaint we hear about GR gets down to technique and awareness, both of which have to do with experience and learning.

He was just THAT raw coming out. Way behind.

Yet at the same time, they have 2 more LOT prospects in Battle and Wms. So, that;s interesting too.

.

Well I hope you are right, but I am skeptical at this point.

Overall though, I’m less worried about the OLine in the long-term
than I am the QB, TE, and Receiver situation. Mainly
I think it was the injuries that did-in the Oline. Mainly.

But Cook has to go. I do not think Foles is the longterm answer,
and I think they need a WR who is a No.1 guy.

IF they have reason to believe he has a possible concussion…yes.

Regardless of the fall out.

Brady is driving the Pats downfield in Overtime in the Super Bowl.
He takes a hard hit. Who the hell knows if he has a Concussion.
He says he’s fine — but a guy in a booth pulls him.
His back-up throws an INT.

What would you call that?

I think he must be related to the station owner er somethin.

If you listen to John Clayton on that, his thing was, where was the NFL spotter. He pointed out that a slo-mo close-up view on tv is not what you see from the sidelines. The spotter, though, had the tv view. He says he didn’t intervene because the Rams trainer was out there talking to CK. However, of course, the Rams trainer didn’t know what the spotter knew.

The assessment appears to be that means there’s a crack in the procedures. The league set out to fix that particular glitch so it doesn’t happen again.

I really think that just sums it up. To me, the people blaming Fisher are just incorrect about what happened. They get their eyes filled with the tv view and act like that what we saw in that view was visible from the sidelines.

Yup.
