Terrible for the first question. And lol f**k no for the second question.
well,. you got alot of people poo poohing the loss of trent so nothing shocks me
I don't think we are going to lose Trent. But as far as actually losing him, keep in mind it was Kyle that had a big role in drafting him, so I think (god forbid) if we do lose Trent, Kyle can draft another solid Left Tackle.
When did we start giving OC's credit for drafts?
Well, let me ask you why you think OC's have no input into a teams offensive draft picks?
Williams filled an obvious need at the time for them. Chris Samuels retired and they needed a LT. With that said, we can't act like we are replacing Kwame Harris here. This is a HOF LT. I'd rather sign him and try to bring in young talent to upgrade the O-line. I'm prepared for the alternative if we don't resign him however (should make signing our other top FAs easier).
I agree with you, position coaches and coordinators do have some input. But I'd credit that more to Mike than Kyle and it's not just because he's the HC/GM.
Kyles dad had some of the best OLines in the business back in their day. Agree, if we do lose out on the Tent Williams sweepstakes, there will be a lot of cap space to sign free agent OLinemen, that's not what I hope will happen though. This team is better with Trent at LT.
I think transitioning from Staley to Trent was a brilliant move, too bad it was kind of wasted by the crap year we had.
Hopefully a young and talented LT and Center will be on this team after the draft, in addition to Trent. Hope hope.
