I just wanna say I feel siragusa is overhyped here. He had some absolutely dominant tape and he had some pretty bad ones, I'm hoping d'allesandris or whatever the fuck his name is can do some good work with him because I think he needs it, of the injury lingers then I wouldn't really have my hopes up at all.

That said, ceiling wise he could be a dominant fucker, he needs work though I think

He's overhyped at the center spot. Love to see him win the LG position.

lets see what a motivated flacco can do this year!
I don’t think he has ever not been motivated, that’s just something someone made up that fit their narrative. I think when he hasn’t played well he’s lacked confidence, both in himself because of injuries, and his team mates because many of them consistently sucked or were playing injured as well. Seems like Joe’s now healthier than he’s been since 2014 and there finally may be a few guys on the squad that can actually catch and don't have to use a wheelchair, walker or cane to get onto the field. We’ll see how it pans out.

The only real competitions worth watching in camp are for the 5T, ILB, and C... Of course it's OTAs so not much to do.

The WR depth chart is essentially set. I think an underrated development is who is going to play the slot, when and where. Snead was a good slot WR in NO, but Andrews is more or less a big ass slot WR... and Andrews' route running is good enough to make an impact immediately. I wonder how we use them... Snead is pretty solid in the red zone.

I predict that Bowser "starts" at ILB, either Bozeman or Siragusa(Skura and Hurst are bench players. Decent backups but if they start.. We have failed not only Flacco but Lamar), and Wormley starts at the 5T.. Only real reason I think we did not draft one.

That tiny sample of ota footage of Lamar and joe tell me pretty much that we're forgetting joe, the difference in spiral and catchability is so big

I don't think the coaches see bowser as an ilb nearly as much as us, and I think they're right to feel that way, his explosion and nimble feet and great flexibility make him a seriously high ceiling edge rusher

I disagree a lot with this, but I do fear Goose is not a great fit for a Roman's scheme as I'm not sure he has the mobility necessary to pull as well as Hurst or Lewis.

I love how we have such a vast variety of opinions here.

Like on Skura. Some say he's a total liability and he's dog shit basically. And some say he had a good season.

Well damn it we can't have both!!

he's OLB all the way
I don't think he should be playing OLB all the time. He's a swiss army knife type. Using him should allow the defense to be unpredictable.

I think he should be the "starter" at ILB.. Not necessarily have all the responsibilities of that position though. Some plays you blitz the guy up the middle. Others you send him into coverage. You can also put him on the edge.

Again.. USE HIM FOR FUCKS SAKE. Stop this dumbass doghouse shit we do. Player's aren't going to learn from their mistakes being punished by being not allowed to play. That's not how it works.
