    Oh, what to do 'bout the O line. We've got a little money and apparently an expendable running back. Should we bring back Hopkins at the minimum? Make a trade? Something really cool that maybe I've never even seen before? GOOD SIRS WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! :whoop:

    the only problem i honestly see is RT....but i think stewart and bell should be ok....maybe they bring in some competition, maybe not, who knows....but if i had to guess i'd say they go with the group they have now...

    I must say, I personaly don't see Roos as the "sure thing" at the tackle position right now but I'm okay with him starting. Stewart and Bell are good for depth but neither deserve to start on the right side. It's all fun and games to talk about "Let's get Lelie!" and "Collins v Maddox" but the tempo of the game is decided by the O line.

    I thought there were some prospects in the draft that looked good. I have doubts about both Bell and Big Country from what I've seen. But it may be either too early or too little to go by for both those guys.

    Maybe we could trade Brown for Hutchison.

    Don't we have some young unproven types? Guys we have drafted and sat as backups?

    Yep. Stewart and Loper have had a year of coaching and practice.

    I say let us see what they can do.

    Doubts? They have to start somewhere, or not play at all. We don't have the luxury of grabbing proven starters in all positions, and I don't think it would be a good thing if we tried. Embrace the youth movement!

    Yeah I can have doubts about Bell and Stewart. Bell tends to get pushed around easily. Happened a lot his rookie year. I recently rewatched some of him from last year, same thing. He looked pretty good when moving (maybe a little slower last year)....he looked bad a lot of times with a big defender rushing him. I don't see how Hartwig got that rap and Bell hasn't.

    Stewart looked like he was stuck in mud in college, in the SR Bowl, and what little we've seen of him as a Titan.

    Maybe these things can be fixed, maybe not.

    I would say Bell, Stewart and Loper will fight it out, if none of them impress then we will sign a Vet Free Agent.

    hartwig: three year starter who didnt improve much in the bull rushing department.

    bell: rookie who started 15 games coming from a small school and then coming of off a torn acl.


    there's a bit of a difference there.

    I will be surprised if the OL is not a lot better. Hopkins gone=addition by subtraction, Hartwig gone Mawua (sp?) = big improvment. Roos I like and will only get better and better. I like the idea of a big Russian Left tackle.:grrr:
