We might have enough pass rush to get by, but our OTs....geez. Could be a season killer.

They seem to feel okay about Guyton, but not so much on Steele, Thomas needs to be cut and the kid from Penn State needs a phantom injury.

Tyler Smith then becomes the next Larry Allen, but strike that, reverse it, out of pure necessity.
 
Adams said Bass would work a little on the right. He didn't say position, but I wonder if it's RT.

It's honestly amazing how this team is literally incapable of finding a day 3 OT (or really anything outside of round 1) who is worth a damn.

They're pretty solid on the interior with guys like Bass, Biadasz, etc., but they take a OT almost every god damn year on day 3 and they all wash out almost immediately.

2026 - Shelton is TBD but chances are he won't be great
2025 - Cornelius has already been moved inside
2024 - Thomas looks on the verge of being cut, definitely teetering
2023 - Asim Richards was cut within about 2-3 years
2022 - Matt Waletzko, i.e. pure ass
2021 - Josh Ball, also pure ass

Six straight years taking a day 3 OT, and quite possibly (probably?) six straight years of pure busts. I'm not even expecting a guy who can start, but you can't even find a half decent swing OT?

A monkey throwing darts couldn't do worse.

Richards wasn't cut, he was traded to the Saints, where he's still there as a backup OT and we would be lucky to have him back. Stupid fucking decision to trade him and whatever they didn't like about him and instead liked about the shitboxes we kept over him, is clearly endemic to the issues that we have evaluating OTs.

It was a dumb move considering Shelton really can't play, this year at least

I mean he was traded before we cut him. We didn't trade him while being a top backup here.

Trade him because we were gonna cut him, what does that change? We kept Cornelius, Keegan, some other schlub at OT instead of him. Richards was far better than all of them, probably better than Nate Thomas too.

The decision that those other guys were worth more was stupid and incorrect and they have no ability to evaluate late round OLs clearly.

Technically I think we dumped him and claimed Keegan from the Eagles to be exact.

I agree we do poorly evaluating day three Olineman. Especially OTs. But Richards is just as much a part of that.

He’s not “just as much a part of it” because he’s clearly better than Keegan, Cornelius, Hakeem Adeniji, etc. You can’t put these guys on the field.

Richards is actually a competent swing tackle.
