weko Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 We have 12 NFL OLmen. Maybe another shoe to drop. Dillard has next to no trade value and Howie won't cut him. Maybe he gets stashed on IR out of site for another 11 months. Maybe we trade one of our guys for a pick. Or maybe they keep 10 and they will waive the OG FA from Buffalo and hopes he clears and makes it to the PS. Without an injury we have a bit of a logjam there. And that doesn't count the 2nd rounder. Stoutland loved Opeta. Too many bodies here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the kid from buffalo makes it past waivers I imagine he'd be a protected player on the PS. He's shown some promise. Like you said seems the coaches like Opeta and I'm not sure there's room for him I think either way the eagles are going to be cutting some good O lineman.

eagle45 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The shoe to drop will be Dickerson, Lane, and Brooks not being able to play most of the year. So we have 12, but it's going to be 9 before you know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoutland loved Opeta. Too many bodies here... Hmm... I thought cut down day was a little ways off yet. They have a lot of bodies in the OL room right now. When they cut down to 53, there won't be 12, that's guaranteed. Maybe 8, maybe as many as 10. Dickerson will start on PUP, he won't count against the 53 for quite some time, by which time another injury might befall the group. Clark is in no way guaranteed to make the squad. He's an insurance policy. Lots of time between now and when the final cuts are made for injury, trade or for some to really separate themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn7980 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Indeed the OL is deep. Good mix of vets and young players. This is an extra game this season and they need to have the back-up ready for the older players. I'd imagine they will trade someone for pick. A high quality problem if there is one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob331 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It's Sunday and they have to cut 3 guys by Tuesday. One of them is sure to be an offensive lineman. My guess - Casey Tucker gets waived/injured. That will leave - T - Johnson, Mailata, Dillard, Driscoll, Toth, Clark G - Brooks, Seumalo, Dickerson, Herbig, Pryor, Perrschbacker, Opeta, Awisoka C - Kelce, Juriga, Crider I don't agree there is no value in Dillard - a 4th or a 5th is reasonable from a team that has a couple of injuries at tackle. When the Bears see how bad Peters is, watch for them to knock on the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggles25 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 No way Awosika clears waivers. Gotta find a way to stash him on the roster. He's going to be a quality starter in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they? Kelce is another year older and has managed incredibly to miss very little time (but who knows if that can continue). Brooks is coming back off of another Achilles tear and we don't have a lot of depth behind Seumalo. I think they are going to need Dickerson this year for sure.

Not sure those will be the exact names but the way our luck has gone the past few seasons, we'll have an unrecognizable starting 5 by around week #10.

Based on last season, my expectations are low. However, if he worked hard to improve since then and has indeed become a better player, demonstrating it in camp, all the better for us. We have some pretty good depth at O-line without Pryor. I won't be surprised if we see at least one of these fringe guys (or Dillard) traded before the cuts to a team with holes on the O-line (like miami, Jacksonville). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say he needs to be cut? I merely said I'll believe he's improved when I see it. Obviously, each player has a chance to improve in the offseason... but he was so bad last year... not just disappointing, but almost Jamon Brown level bad. So, he has a long way to go just to reach 'disappointing' level for me. That said, there's still time to make a believer out of the coaches.

My point is that sometimes players have to learn from the past. My opinion is we overrated him as a rookie when he stepped in for Brooks because he didn't appear to be a liability. In 2019, though, we still had most of the line intact. Last year Kelce was the only constant. Pryor was exposed when the play around him wasn't as good. I don't know how much work (or effort) Pryor put in in the offseason in 2020, but it wasn't a normal offseason either. Things are a little more normal this year and Kelce at least thinks Pryor has had a good camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seumalo, Herbig could both play center, Driscoll even played some center in college. If brooks goes down Herbig, Opeta ,Driscoll could fill in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
