Probably not at all true, but still interesting theory on the Arenas deal

Greasing the wheels for a move on Albert?


We seem to be the only ones dealing with KC as of late. Obviously have a long, somewhat 1 sided relationship with Andy.

Just a thought. You know the last thing they want is to go into the season with their #1 pick at RT.

Very long off season. Couldve just planted the seed. Arenas was also disgruntled and wanted out. We took him off their hands so obviously the 2 sides have an amicable relationship when it comes to dealings.


That is all

Hate to say it but I don't see Palmer playing the entire season. While I LOVE Cooper we still have three below-average pass protecters in Levi, Colledge and Lyle. Add to the fact BA's offense requires many plays that take 3+ seconds to develop and i'm pessimistic. I think Stanton will see time next season. Albert would be huge but KC is remaining stubborn on their asking price.

I'll reserve judgement on our O-line until I've seen what they can do... now that we have a coach.

I was under the impression that Sendlein is above average. No by a whole lot, but still. I also think the replacement of Snyder with Cooper will make him and Massie look better as well. I just hope Levi plays well now

I've posted this many times before and will post it again. I think Levi can be a much better tackle with proper coaching. As a PSU follower Levi was never as bad as he gradually got in the NFL. I truly believe Levi under the guidance of Grimm and the overall mess that the Oline was had a lot to do with his performances. I really think we will see a Levi who shows at least a 50% improvement at LT. If this staff can get everyone of the Oline personnel to play 50% better than they had previously then we will have a very solid Oline.

if Levi does, I fully expect both OTs to improve so dramatically. Massie being as young and new to the league as he is, stands to improve significantly. Potter stands to improve the most IMO, coming from the unpolished raw talent in the place of our very last pick, but he also needs to improve the most if he wants to start at some point. Kelemete is another I hope to see surprise us with improvements to his technique to go with his raw talent, under a full coaching staff. Cooper, obviously, as a rookie will do a lot of growing. Sendlein is the biggest concern I have of improvement on the line. He's a little fella with big heart, I dunno that coaching will affect him as significantly as the other guys

I love NFL football. 6'3" 299 is a little fella. :)

But Sendlein is not small for an NFL Center. Matt Birk of the Ravens: 6'4" 300. Chris Myers of the Texans 6'5" 300. Ryan Wendell of the Patriots 6'2" 275. Pouncey of the Steelers 6'4" 304. Jeff Saturday Packers 6'2" 292. Todd McLure Falcons 6'1" 286. Dan Koppen Broncos 6'2" 296
