Easy. If we get a new LT, Waters moves to C, Albert at LG, and keep Lilja at RG.
Asamoah is primary backup and C/RG of the future.

Albert *did* do a terrific job against Freeney. Our whole OL did great that game.
Okung didn't miss his block. What you're compalining about is Okung's inability to guard two bodies with his one.
That isn't bad at all for a rookie LT.
I get that, but your...
Maybe we wtched different games. The Okung I saw in the 1st half had a lot of trouble with Peppers, but managed to keep him off his QB. He also had a holding penalty, but that isn't the end of the...
Isn't this moot? Okung only gave up four sacks his rookie year even though he played with the worst other four starting OL in the league. He had a phenomenal rookie year (including post-season) by...
Is that directed at me? As I said earlier:
"Fox is a good hire for them - in the short term. He's not going to lead them to a SB or even probably a playoff spot, but he'll instill discipline,...
Okung gave the best playoff performances by a rookie LT that I can remember. Peppers finished with no sacks, two tackles, and (most importantly) no hits on the QB. Even though Seattle spent the...
Okung's had a terrific game. Away, in the snow, against one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, and he's holding his own. He looks like the next great LT out there.
True. I really shouldn't have started a comparison between the AFC West teams.
My point was that we played mostly bad pass rushes, bad QBs, and bad run defenses for the first 15 games. We took...
Well, our fourth place schedule (Buffalo, Browns) helped as well. And that we played the Seahawks at Arrowhead while others played them at Qwest.
Look, I'm not taking anything away from our...
You can't fire Haley. It doesn't matter if you think he rode an easy schedule to the playoffs (which I do). It doesn't matter if you think his fighting with his OCs is beyond ridiculous (which I...
Does everyone here have long term memory problems? Delhomme was a Pro Bowler with the Panthers. He was a good-to-great QB from 2003 to 2007, leading the Panthers to the SB in 2003 (where he threw...
The competence (or lack thereof) of a HC will *always* affect the development of a QB, espeically a rookie. A HC can shatter a QB's confidence by yanking him around a depth chart. By motivating or...
How is that disagreeing with what I wrote?
Patriots and Seahawks.
Just so the Pats can be massively and hilariously upset again.
I like Carr, and I'd love to keep him around. But he can easily be upgraded.
If you have the opportunity to get two lockdown CBs, get two lockdown CBs.
I know, I know, it isn't our style. But signing Champ Bailey (for our FS) and Nnamdi Asomugha would give us the greatest secondary maybe in NFL history.
Brady agreed with Ryan's assessment that it's a huge advantage to have Bill Belichick on your side. "I get a ton of help from our coach," Brady said.

True. To be a leader for our special teams, however, he's ideally suited.
You are severely, severely undervaluing the impact that head coaches have on player development, especially QB development. Read Brady's comments on Belichick sometime (Brady says Belichick is the...
To be fair, we kept McGraw because he's a terrific special teams player, special teams captain if my memory serves.
It isn't his fault that he keeps being thrust into a starting safety role.
Fox had a great deal to do with Delhomme. Just as defensive-oriented Belichick had a great deal to do with Brady. Whether or not a young QB succeeds or fails is at least as much to do with the HC...
I doubt we go after Seymour. Our DE rotation is pretty solid with Dorsey, Smith, and Gilberry (not to mention our large investment in TJ), and Seymor will want a pretty big contract. I think this...
Fox is a good hire for them - in the short term. He's not going to lead them to a SB or even probably a playoff spot, but he'll instill discipline, help develop Tebow (he did wonders with Delhomme)...

Fair enough. We'll never know beyond our best guesses.
Why? And even if his focus were off, how does that make the OL start to crumble. Unless Weis's...
