Smith would be a baby about it though.

Shouldn't matter. Not saying you are saying that it should, but to the coaches it should not matter one bit how he feels about it.

We certainly prefer Smith not to move, but it’s the most probable course of action

He’s going to light up our holding call count like a Christmas Tree, but it’s the least evil outcome.

Guyton fucking sucks ass and Thomas isn’t there yet.

You might just have that backwards.

Look kids Big Ben, Parliament! I hope it's true this year, but it's a little early to be talking about how someone looks in shorts Jane.

Beat me to it. I'll wait until I see what it looks like vs real competition before I buy in.

Yeah he made it pretty clear last year he didn't want to move.

It’s a money thing … Smith will gripe because he’s paid as a guard and not a tackle …it has zero to do in a comfort ( position) aspect

But he's pretty much getting paid like a tackle now. Maybe not the very best tackles, but he's not that as an OT. Not yet anyway.

I don't get why he wouldn't kill it at LT than and demand to be paid like a top LT. It's kind of weird to me that he wants to stay at the lower paid position.

Agree, except that I think maybe he knows he can be better at G than T.

I think he'd rather be an elite OG than a good LT.

And I kind of remember Zach Martin having a similar preference to not be kicked out to OT. I guess some elite guards really just want to stay there.

I think he wants to be paid like a top LT before doing it permanently.

Between him and Parker...can we just wait for these guys to actually earn it before we start promoting them? This shit is absurd to talk about before these guys actually accomplish literally anything.

You know who else people said would be a head coach someday before he ever did anything? Fucking Garrett.

No, the demented media ecosystem around this team just loves pushing any angle they can find for clicks, the seeds of which were of course fostered by dumbo Jones.

It's really a big part of the reason I think we haven't made an NFCC despite having at least 5 or so teams in the last 20 years fully capable of doing so.

The Green Bay loss in 2023 in particular struck me as one partially fueled by the angst the media helps stoke around the team and the "drought".

Apparently LT Overton is turning heads at minicamp.

I'll believe it when I see it at camp and in the preseason, but there's a reason he was thought of as a possible first rounder coming into the season.

He's talented but he's a tweener who doesn't cleanly fit into a clear position.
