For interior guys I love maulers. On the edge though, I'll take a technician. Gotta be able to handle those quick edge rushers, and without grabbing there jerseys.

For what its worth i dont see Miller get called for holding much on film

I also wouldn’t call Miller a mauler

He can be hes just not comsistent with it, but when he uses his big ass hands properly with good pad level and technique hes strong as hell. Hes just not comsistent with it thanks to the poor coaching he recieved
RaineV1

Since we coach up linemen well he'd be a good second round pick for us.

Thing is he wont be there in the 2nd. Hes going in the 1st whether people like it or not
DeVito52

In which case that’s fine because another player at another position with better value will fall down the board towards us at 52

Miller seems more like a prototypical LT. Have you ever heard of Mike Mamula?

Hurst cost Flacco and our team two seasons and now hes our starting RT??? Fucking crazy pills

Our front office has lost their mind. It's getting really embarrassing. We need an overhaul
I don't believe a word he said. Yes, he's the RT. In the draft we will probably end up with a RT that is more talented than Hurst. I'm ok with Hurst as a backup, but definitely not a starter. If anything, he should be a backup guard.

So...
I hope the line goes like this.
Stanley-Hurst-Lewis-Yanda-Brown Jr.
I expect it to go like this
Stanley-Lewis-Skura-Yanda-Hurst
Which would infuriate me because Hurst is a turnstile at RT and Skura is a walking, talking liability posing as a football player. The first line has 3 good starters and two guys who could just fuck it all up. I'm sorry, if you actually watch the film, the line truly was good in spite of Hurst and Skura last season. Hurst has become one of the most infuriatingly overrated players of the team amongst the fanbase. He wasn't a good puller, he was a terrible run blocker. At least he was solid in pass pro.
The first line has Hurst playing at his best position, while having Lewis play out of position but still being solid. Stanley and Yanda are both great. Brown Jr. is a rookie who is going to make his fair share of mistakes but should still be a good player from day one from everything that I've seen on film. That's 4 starters I think could be good, and one guy who's passable. The first line could be a good unit. The second one is terrible.
Please make the right choice here Harbaugh. Or pick up a C or LG so Hurst doesn't have to start.

Stanley-Hurst-Lewis-Yanda-Zeus Jr. Is the only line I feel comfortable with protecting Joe. Skura at Center and Hurst at RT is a recipe for disaster.
At this point, I see zero reasons that Orlando Brown doesn't start.

I know Lewis played center during training camp, but I thought the experiment came to an end? I haven't been able to watch as much preseason as I wanted, but what makes you hope Lewis will play C for us? Was he out there running with the 1s? I thought Skura got most of that work? I think it's more likely Brown is at RT than Lewis at C at this point.

Yeah the O line is the biggest uncertainty at this point and Skura’s play a concern. I hope they have a solid plan.
