The post (pic) was a direct and applicable response to YOUR POST. If you don't want to hear it, then I suggest you don't make ridiculously obtuse statements about what we have the luxury to afford. It was 100% on that topic that you took it to.
I thought the pic of Wilson in the grasp of two (seemingly unblocked) Rams pass rushers was 1000% on topic, not to mention timely (Rams game), and funny as hell. It's on topic because that pic shows what we are hoping the contingency plans at tackle can *prevent* us from seeing so much of again. The Rams D-Line and pass rushers have absolutely FEASTED on our O-Line during the Pete Carroll era, including in 2013. (Bowie and Bailey, anyone?)
I wasn't aware we had lost Joey Hunt; oh well, Pocic is probably a better backup center bet anyway. Oops, back on topic to Left Tackle... I had gathered that Tobin was brought in as a fallback plan for Fant at LT, so if Odhiambo won that competition, props to him. And how about a contingency plan of... Bevell designing a game plan that reduces the exposure of our LT position. If we can make Robert Quinn have to run 10 yards further to get Wilson, that's a win.
Corner... I don't really understand all the Jeremy Lane hate on here. He's not Kelly Jennings... Lane picked off Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, for Pete's sake! And his thanks was to get his ACL blown out and forearm shattered. If Lane isn't 100% the player he was before those two major injuries, he is at the very least a very serviceable and savvy veteran. You go blow out your ACL and then try covering any of these ankle-breaking WR types the NFL is full of. Good luck with that.
Corner some more... Shaq Griffin exceeded my expectations. The TD on him was a play I just have to tip my cap to the offensive player on. Fantastic play, well covered, one player was luckier than the other, on that one, it happens sometimes. Super happy we have Justin Coleman, and yes, the Burley comparison is on the mark; to my eyes, Coleman looks like an even better player than Burley. Burley and Lane... two players that kept us from winning Super Bowl 49, by not being on the field. Lane because of injury, and Burley because some fool coach activated Tharald "Toast" Simon and left Burley inactive for the game.
