Found a page with the average and it puts this contract at 7th in the nfl for LT https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/2021/left-tackle/average/ Well ok, I guess the article is wrong. EDIT: Ok it's about OT. 7th payed after just signing the contract. And only if you leave out the money this year.. I'd say it's a fair deal. Probably a good one after this season and with increasing cap the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in investing in the lines but I still have my questions on Mailata. I think it is a little early to reward him. Hopefully he proves me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess we could've waited, to then see everybody asking why we waited so long and how we now pay way too much? 12th highest OT actually sounds pretty good to me.

But yeah, if you feel like he isn't going to be good - that's how you see it. I feel pretty good with Mailata, so there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYEagle Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 He was great today, it's amazing how freaking big he is, he makes the other o-linemen look like RB's. That play where he took out the CB was just straight out nasty. I'm surprised the CB isn't still laying there as I type this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the first replay, I just saw a green blur come across the screen and absolutely removed that guy from the picture. Poof, he's gone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poof, he's gone! He's so big and athletic and powerful. When he's on his game he's just going to flat out dominate. He's still going to take his lumps and at times his technique may let him down but his power and strength is going to help get him out of tricky spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailata comes across as if he is inspired by a contract of this magnitude and has a sense of responsibility towards it, as shown yesterday. Let's hope it just keeps on going up from here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipiggles Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Think how much farther along/ better he would have been, if only we could have kept him on the field last year, instead of putting Old and Crusty Peters back on the field? Love JM - he is gonna be a good one for a long time for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it worked out for the best cause it gave Mailata a chance the following year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only be a bargain if he’s actually good. He had a very good week 1, so he’s off to a strong start. But the point many are making is he is so unproven still, and that makes this deal a bit questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can all agree Stoutland is a bit of a legend regarding Olines. He sees a lot more of Mailata than we do and for sure knows far more than us about his potential. I doubt the signing would have been done without his input. We see one game, Stoutland sees him all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious why do we give Stoutland all the credit for Mialata’s development, but we don’t give him any criticism for Dillard’s regression? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" I have said it here before, talent will only take a player so far, at the end of the day (at the top of the profession) it is the work ethic and dedication that will take you to the next level. Oh and staying healthy also. Stoutland now has 4 years with Mailata, when Dillard was drafted I doubt he had much time working with him to get a proper chance to gauge him as an individual and if he had the work ethic to take things further. Stoutland's foresight on the potential of Mailata is far greater than when Dillard was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some people Dillard was drafted upon the approval of Stoutland so he saw something in that player too. I give Stoutland some credit for Mialata’s development, but like you mentioned here some players don’t respond well regardless. Mailata is a guy driven to be better within himself so I give him a lot of credit for his own development too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoutland personally wanted Chance Womack here and the guy stunk up the joint. Sometimes the players own work ethic is the reason why he improved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's give Mailata most credit for applying himself and working his backside off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
