Alright, I'll give you more. Giver: When have you seen TT grab oline after cuts ? If he has done it at all, its super rare. Expect more super rare, then if he gets a goody, you'll be jacked. Let's look at the oline, and goalies. Goalie swore we wouldn't make the playoffs because of our oline. That was incorrect. More incorrect is statistics. I'll need help with the stats, but the oline rated pretty good. Their strength was in pass protection where they rated really good. Run blocking while feeling bad, Gordon averaged 5.1 yards a carry last year. Fantastic. Have there been upgrades ? I think there are hidden upgrades: Tevi and Feeney got another year under their belts on a playoff team last year. Lamp is considered an upgrade at Guard. Now I'll give you Freak's Super Special Secret upgrade that no one else will give you. We got a good oline coach, who now has a year under his belt working with the whole unit. When anyone looks at the Bolts' roster, 'really talented' is the usual comment, and in an almost whisper comes the 'but that O-Line' comment..... Freak says they are good to go, because the Bolts have a 'good' O-Line coach.....Hope he can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse kinda good..... Twisting my words to fit your narrative.

They have had plenty of gelling under fire from last year. Often times, you can have stars, or you can have a cohesive group. We are processing the cohesion. Team wide, and by unit, it is THE ANTHONY LYNN WAY ! Last year saw Lamp playing a ton.......and that guy playing LOT last year isn't playing currently. There will be some fire alright...... Let's stay on track: You said Okung was bad free agent. He wasn't. You said Pouncey was a really bad free agent. He wasn't. You said we wouldn't make the playoffs last year because of the oline. We did. You said Lamp would never play in the NFL. He is. You loved the Pipkins draft pick, and now want to destroy him.
These are all facts in evidence. I am simply not listening to your oline takes, based upon your historical misses.

I never said Okung was a bad free agent.......nor did I say that about Pouncy, but you know that. You also know I questioned both players injury history only, and expressed concerns about signing them because of that history. I doubted the Bolts would make the PO's, they managed to get in, even though the o-line was sketchy as it gets. I said Lamp was a bust pick due to injury, and still think that is true. He looks to be a reserve player on a crappy o-line......and yet he came into the league with such potential. Pipkins will become the starting OT.....just watch. No destruction at all.....same story as with your pet hashtags. *you never listen to anything.....

12-4 = "managed to get in" = great take.

Nick Hardwick thinks Trevor Williams is a prime candidate to be cut. 2mill salary and he hasn't seen the field yet.

Need to find a Matt Slauson kind of player, hopefully an OT. No need.....Bolts have Pipkins, soon to be starting OT.......such a shrewd pick by TT. Maybe this post is sarcastic or you have a different definition of "soon". Maybe by 2022....but there is an immediate need for another OT that is ready for September 8th.

The Bolts clearly do not have an OT on the roster that should be starting in the NFL.

Wow, I don't subscribe to the Atlantic and just made my predictions from the Chargers web site but the only differences between my predictions and Daniel Popper's are: I think we'll only keep two QBs and stash Stick on the practice squad (because we've always carried only two QBs) I have us keeping Detrez Newsome (and even believe he's ahead of Pope) Popper has Scott making the team while one of my boldest predictions is Patton makes the sixth WR instead of Scott (glad to see Freak also isn't as enamored with Scott) And I have Okung on the final 53 while Popper lists Drango and puts Okung on PUP That last one is just a technicality, so I only count THREE differences between my amateur final roster prediction and Daniel Popper's! (patting myself on the back) I was wrong about keeping three QBs and Stick making the team (but I'm glad for him!) Similarly, I was right about cutting Cardale Jones and giving him plenty of visibility in the preseason to latch on with another team- I hope he does! I was wrong about keeping four RBs and Detrez being ahead of Pope- and I hope Detrez makes it to our practice squad! And I was wrong about keeping Patton, but right about cutting Scott. I believe one or both gets signed to the practice squad. Something NOBODY predicted correctly- Dzubnar making the team! Good for him! Most of use expected Watkins to make the team, and this still may happen after the 24 hours required before Derwin James will go to IR. If Watkins isn't the 53rd man on the team filling Derwin James spot after he's moved to IR, then I predict it will be Patton or Scott in that order.

I'm surprised that they kept three QB's and only 5 WR's. They better get a couple of the WR's that were cut on the PT, it's risky to go with only 5 WR's. Still hoping they pick up a OT somehow.

They've got to be hoping that they'll be able to sign Scott and Patton to the PS, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to do it.
