But I am still surprised that I have seen nothing, no team other than the Bengals that are interested in him. Are teams so afraid of him that they don’t even consider him? What do you think Andre Smith will get?

FA: Jake Long, Jermon Bushrod, and/or Eric Winston
Draft: Kyle Long, and a center in the later rounds.

This team is seriously backwards.

I doubt they do anything of note without either releasing Webb or Garza.

He’s made much better by the fact that Brees gets rid of the ball so fast(which is not exactly Cutler’s strong suit lol) and having a VERY strong line along with him(his 1 Pro Bowl was the year Nicks and Evans were both the 1st-team All Pro Guards).

I think he’s serviceable and probably an upgrade from Webb but he might struggle going from a solid line to a crappy one.

That’s why their offensive line sucks now – because they cast their nets too wide before! They need to diagnose the specific issues and go after specific replacements. They need to use a fishing pole, not a huge frickin’ net.

Not that I care. I’m a Lions fan. I hope the Bears suck.

Webb and Scott can handle that. If re-signed Louis can handle RG. We need a LT, LG and C! Long is breaking down and wants too much money. Sign Bushrod who is a 2 time Pro Bowler under Aaron Kromer. Draft a LG in the 2nd rd (Warford or Kyle Long) and pick up a Center in the later rounds, ND’s Braxton Cave? Cut Garza, he graded out around 30th in the league last year and would give us some cap relief!

Jake Long hasn’t had any back or knee issues just a pulled bi and tricept, and the tricept last season explaines alot about his bad play last season, however when looking up these injuries i could not find if there was a lingering or long term effects. If he wants to money hungry bushrod will be a good second, look at it like this to Longs brother is a top gaurd in the draft what if the deal was they will take him in the draft if at all posible, be a fun situation for the to brother to play side by side LG LT but that is a huge what if senerio.

Good luck with Loadholt, hopefully that big body doesn’t crumble down his prime stretch.
