One of the off season FA signings that has probably gone with the least hoopla and is flying under the radar is the signing of guard Steve Shilling.
At 6.5 312 he is only 9 lbs less than Carpenter. In a zone blocking scheme footwork is more important than bulk. Could SS be a better fit to our line than Carp?
In the PFF depth chart he is listed as a backup to Sweezy but could it be that there is just not enough information about him and the reality is that he has the size and tools to play left guard where speed and agility could be used?
If in Cable we trust is true, could it be that we are sitting on another no name secret that will "come out of nowhere" and solidify the left side of the line with Okung?
