Romfal Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Maybe the price for Levitre was higher and the Titans finally dropped to a 6th, who knows. Its encouraging they are not sitting on their hands, I just have no faith in this Gradkowski dude. Polumbus is garbage, and if we have more than one of Stone, Person and Polumbus on the field at a time, we are in deep ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've lost a lot of faith in this being a bounce back season for us in the last week. You can't really make these kinds of changes to what's probably the most important and underappreciated unit of any good football team and expect it to be a recipe for success. I know the line was not playing well but these moves wreak of desperation with the season being a week away. Not to mention our offense is supposed to be our strength.Not feeling good about hitting the .500 mark anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldirtybird Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It makes sense though, why we saw Stone at G and Person at center this whole time, now we know for sure 110% they cannot play there. There's no going back and forth during the season now trying to find a good line. Stone is fringe C, person is a backup G. So they saw Levitre available, jumped on that, and decided to go with the younger, cheaper Stone over injured Hawley who's no gaurantee to start 16 games at this point. Mine as well go with the youth. Now everyone is playing their natural positions and if doesn't work you gotta find new guys. Gino was brought in to replace Stone as the cheap backup.

Aggressive Pacifist! Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 On the one hand, it seems reckless letting Hawley go, sitting Asamoah, trading for a guy who had a bad year and taking someone who was released to be your starting center.On the other hand, we had serious problems, and at least they are *doing something*.But realistically, is it going to work? I guess we're about to find out.From what I understand both Hawley and Asomoah are hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next draft and FA should primarily focus on the OL obviously. OL then defense. We are building this team ack basswards as our GM is a genius.

I guess we're about to find out.Hawley didn't heal and even said he wouldnt be more than 85% this year. Asa wasn't sat he was hurt and Stone was quite possibly worse at LG than Kroy is at DE. That doesnt even bring up Holmes being hurt too and forcing us to keep Polumbus.I too wish we would have done something before now but you couldn't, unless you were going to start giving away next years draft picks.So here we are, making moves with what we can. Stone at center, Andy L at LG and Asa on IR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozer Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Two preseason games extra "gelling time" would not have made a huge difference. This line will struggle all year as they acclimate to each other and to the OZBS.DL in year 1OL in year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
