For BBD, Zak, Ballin, Jughead, me and possibly others.

[Zak]

We brought in Jake Long for a talk yesterday but this needs to get done. It sounds like it was just an initial meeting though.

[Jughead]

Phil McConkey's mustache. Discuss.

Yea - looks like just seeing where he is in his rehab and a deal wouldn't be done till near training camp.

Scotty is going to be crying when he sees this since you grouped him with a UConnie.

[Forenci]

Scotty loves me! He just can't handle how much better UConn is at sports than poopy Rutgers.

Shhhhhhhh.

[scottyboy]

this thread needs to die like the other original giants discussion thread.

start it over without such badness

[Forenci]

A wife beater and a talentless white guy? Pass.

[bigbluedefense]

Newhouse is lining up at starting RT again today.

Someone hold me. Preferably Scotty. #Pause

[BaLLiN]

Maybe Newhouse isn't that bad?

[bigbluedefense]

More likely reason is there isn't anyone available that's any better. Which is scary to think about.

Probably, I still don't really understand what happened to Brandon Mosley. He was in contention to start last year, then...kaput.

[BaLLiN]

Landon Collins got #21 from DRC (who now has 41) though I think he might try to get Hynoski (DRC wore 45 in college and broncos but has been #23,29 elsewhere) to change (Hynoski was #27 in college and HS).

He sucked. He was only in contention to start bc we had no other choice, plus they wanted to see what he was made of. And he wasn't any good. In fact, I doubt he's on any team right now.

We're in a real crappy position. I guess we can try and hope that our 7th round RT can develop, but I think he's a G at best, and he'll need time to develop if he ever does.

I still think we should kick the tires off of Anthony Collins, I'm surprised why we didn't at least bring him in for a workout.

Maybe we just wait for some ppl to get cut off of other teams during the TC process and we snag someone up.

Either way, it's pretty desperate. And that's assuming that Flowers isn't an abortion at LT, which is wishful thinking on our part.

I think our realistic OL is going to wind up being:

LT: Flowers
LG: Pugh
C: Richburg
RG: Jerry
RT: Schwartz

And when Beatty (if) he comes back, Schwartz goes to RG, which shouldn't be a problem for him he's a vet he'll be plug and play and Flowers moves to RT.

Flowers will be fine at LT.

Canes fan?

No, but I scouted him a good bit for the last mock draft (where I picked him). He had a few rough games in his career, but also some pretty good ones against quality rushers, and he looked good in pass protection at the Senior Bowl. He's more natural on the right, but has the skill set to play on the left side as needed. Reminds me of Trent Williams, who was also thought of by some as RT-only leading up to that draft.

I believe Raanan listed Mosley as a Guard running with the twos but I agree unless we see an improvement there's a good chance he doesn't make it out of this training camp.

I still think we should look at Collins as well. I think we're going to reassess the tackle position after OTAs. Long or Collins are the top Vets available.
