First day of Pads....

Submitted by umbig11 on

LT - JBB; LG - Bredeson; C -Ruiz; RG - Onwenu; RT - Runyan

QB1 - Patterson; QB2 - even; QB4 - Milton

It is very early. That line can change very quickly now that the pads are on. Let the Patterson hype begin.

I'm with you. I'm actually surprised it isn't JBB at RT and Runyan getting a shot at LT.

I was pretty much fine with JBB at right tackle. He was a great run blocker but obviously hurt us with pass pro at least 1-2 times each game. I think it may eventually turn into RT or bust for him. Warriner will have this figured out by August.

I always found this concept curious.  I know the LT protects the blind side of a right handed QB, however they also generally matcup against the SDE who is typically slower than the WDE.  So, wouldn't the RT need better footwork than the LT to handle the quicker WDE?

LTs are generally going against the "WDE" (our End, Chase) of opponents who run 4 man fronts. RTs generally go against bigger, slower folk (our Anchor, Rashan, who is bigger but not slower). Thus, you generally like LTs to have a little bick quicker feet and greater reach.

I thought that SDE is called Strong side defensive end because he is lined up to the side of the formation that has a TE. In a really basic formation, I think the TE tend to line up next to the RT.

If we get solid tackle play this season (assuming interior is going to be solid), we better be giving Warinner a raise. Especially if JBB turns into a servicable LT, that will be impressive.

Post topics, but there is an article in the Detnews that Harbaugh said Speight might come back. Not sure where the scholly will come from since we are over the limit currently by 3 or 4 I think.

If he’s not practicing, he’s going to fall behind, if [hypothetically] a QB does, in fact, transfer, he’s just done himself a huge disservice by not practicing. Just because he has the experience doesn’t mean he doesn’t need the practice. Tom Brady himself practices MORE than anyone else and that’s why he became an Elite player. His health could be the only factor we’re not considering, assuming he’s been cleared by more than just the doctors.

Those who stay will be champions. Those who quit the team before the seasons over to join a new team and then try to come back when they find out the competition might not be as stiff as expected will be...
