In his post-practice presser, Hue just said that Bitonio is still our #1 LT. We also apparently had a bit of confrontation between Todd Haley and Gregg Williams that Hue had to intercede in after Mayfield took a minor hit. If they ever go full Gilbride-Ryan, my money's on Williams. I think it's dumb we're even making contact with the QB. They wear the special colored jerseys for a reason.

I forget what video/where, but Myles had made contact with a QB in practice. Building the Browns or something. We're on TV and the internet all over right now. I think Todd is seeing his QB get touched/hit/contact maybe not "often", but one time is one time too many. A QB injury from a hit in practice from our OWN team member would likely... I don't know what it would do. I think I would not pay attention to this team for awhile out of pure anger.

Apparently Haley went off on the defense, said "Good teams don't do that (hit their own QB)!" and Williams shot back with "Then block us!".

I heard a "F" bomb in the quote the radio said via Haley though. Stupid problem to be having/talking about/etc. Stupid... our practices must be pretty unorganized.

Some might not want to hear it, but Haley is an abrasive SOG.
With that said, I don't think is all that unusual. It's training camp. Stuff like this happens.

I just hope our defense can actually get to the other teams QBs too
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I said this in another thread in the Game Day forum, but it fits better here:
I think the OL is in a state of flux. Thus, I believe we are trying different combinations and moving guys around at certain positions.
I think that is just as it should be. I'd rather us experiment now than during the midst of the season.
It would have been great had Coleman worked out at LT. It will be great if Robinson works out at LT.
I have no proof, but I have a hunch it'll be Bitonio at LT to open the season. And I wouldn't rule out Drango at LG.

Bitonio is about the only guy most of us thought could play LT in JT's retirement thread. It would be awesome if Robinson could win that job and our Pro Bowl Guard stays put and is injury depth at LT.

I agree w/all of that. I was thinking of adding Coleman's name in there, but didn't want to get slammed. LOL

Robinson was third string against the Giants, at LT I assume, but not sure. I did see him on the field, blocking for Roback. I wouldn't be surprised if Roback makes our PS. He didn't look awful.

Not even with a young guy on PS?

I think that we'll actually keep 3 QB, and that would make it really hard to keep a 4th on the PS, unless he is really, really impressive.
Obviously Tyrod and Baker are locks, and so is Stanton as the sideline sounding board for Mayfield. Barring some truly horrible event, I cannot see this team opening the season without all 3 on the roster.

Drango lacks that mean streak in him to be effective. he comes out of his stance way too slow

I wouldn't be surprised to see us trade for an experienced OLineman or pickup a free agent. Jeff Allen who played for Dorsey at KC is still unsigned and so is ex OSU player Alex Boone.

We definitely keep 3 QBs IMO .. no way we're going into the Pittsburgh game w/just Baker as a backup

We surely need help on the OL. Corbett needs to work his way into the starting lineup or that pick will be a HUGE bust.

No, it isn't jumping the gun. If Corbett isn't starting by week 8 it was a wasted pick and we'd have to cut his ass and move on.

--I can't comment on Corbett because I don't ever recall watching him play. J/C ..... He played a lot of the 1st preseason game, as did Drango. This site says each played 53 snaps, and Coleman, Reiter, and Robinson each played 45. I am interested to see how Harrison does at LT. The team has liked him all throughout the off-season. Then injury struck ..... so he's up in the air again. I see only 6 "sure things" on the OL, and these are Bitonio, Corbett, Tretter, Zeitler, Hubbard, and Drango. Beyond that, it's still wide open as far as I can see. Lots to sort out between now and the 1st real game.

They are playing Corbett a lot with ones and twos as to get him in shape and get him under the gun to learn quick.
I don't understand the questions of him starting, I thought he is starting at LG. Did we decide to play Robinson at LT and move Bitonio back at LG? the weak link right now is Drango at RG...we need Zeitler back. Hopefully by the game #3.

I believe most of us will have our eye glued on the OL come Friday .. All I saw in game one was the Giants pushing them back a couple of yards on most plays ( running )..
Would like to hear an up-date on Zietler and Coley injury's ?

I can't watch the OL seriously while watching a game...just maybe a replay here and there to see what happened. But if I want to look it over. I would have to key on one OL play after play including stop and go and then back again. Then off to the next guy from the beginning. Don't have the gumption in my for that...did in the past...lol

I had my reservations on the pick simply cause we didn't state WHY we took him and WHERE we were looking to play him. As for his talent I really am clueless on him to make a decision. But I don't like using the first pick of the 2nd round for a "versatile" OL that tells me he isn't good enough to start anywhere cause versatile in OL speak means depth only.

Hopefully by the game #3. tab, there was a report the other day that said Robinson was working w/the 1s at LT and Bitonio was at LG. I don't know if that is a permanent move or just them looking at different combinations.
