2024 Training camp news/highlights

We've been having this OL argument for years. Kyle is an offensive guy that likes weapons so that's where they put their money. This is another issue tied to the huge contracts some players are asking for. When you pay 5 or 6 guys 20-40 million per year it takes up about 60% of your cap. It doesn't leave much for the other 47 players. O linemen who are usually among the lower paid guys want their money too so they often end up leaving to try out free agency. Then your team is back to square one. No continuity in the line. The O line seems to have way more turnover than it used to.

lets go Puni! I really like this guy and think he will be a stud for us. Get this man quality reps!

"Oh no…. That's such a bummer….." hahaha I mean I feel for the guy as a man but I think we are better served giving Puni his reps.

Damn… Pearsall and cowing out with hamstring injuries :/ that's terrible. Hopefully they aren't bad at all but those tend to linger

We're just talking man. Currently we have our career backup LT taking all the 1st string reps (who has never been good) and will be forced to pay a 36 yr old Trent whatever he wants. One because he's awesome and two because we never bring in legit competition or have any sort of plan there.

I don't care if Kinsley is gonna be great or not. They at least invested there and know you can't pay everyone massive money when you're paying a QB (among others).

It's frustrating man. Instead of legit investing in one of the most important positions on offensive (OT) they continuously ignore it and instead blow a bunch of picks at freaking RB.

My thoughts also. Not going after the best talent for the o line is getting old. How do you trade with Kansas City and let them take the best tackle on the board?

Kyle believes he can scheme around the crap on the Oline. We shall see this again. Now we can all wait for the trashing by the folks that disagree, and the lack of critical thinking about our team. I do this every off season with the same caca coming back at us.

First Pearsall now Cowing. Not a good start for the young WRs.

LETS GOOO
