Could ingognito’s crazy ass have been signed for cheap?

Oh yeah.

Crazy Richie signed with Oak for a cool million, peanuts for a player of his caliber, but about right for a guy with his history.

OTOH, Billy Turner signed for four years @28 million.

Turner will earn about 11 million this season.

I must have been asleep at the wheel, had no idea his package was that pricey.

Seems like the kind of guard dog Rodgers would appreciate.

Wow, I had no idea Jenkins was doing that well. It kind of explains some of the success associated with the improved run game this season. At times the entire offensive line has looked dominant.

[Upnorth]

He has been mentioned as a darkhorse rookie of the Year. But since he is not skill position there is no way he can win

[run pMc]

Jenkins has been a good pick, played very well for a rookie, and based on the stats posted (source?) he's in very good company. If they can find a RT next draft who plays as well they'll have the makings of a really good line.

Side thought: I wonder if his numbers are at the expense of Bahktiari, i.e., Bahk is helping him out and Jenkins looks good for it, but it's causing Bahk's LT duties to slip? I honestly doubt it, but I do wonder if it's happening occasionally.

Re: Richie "Privacy Mode" Incognito -- I was surprised he still could find a job; that guy is all kinds of crazy. But when I saw Gruden signed him, it completely made sense. (Barrett Robbins, anyone?) Maybe they have him on proper meds or something now. The Raiders OL is no joke, and he's part of the reason why. Mean son of a gun, apparently with something still in the tank.

[George Cumby]

No, no, no, no, no. We should have drafted some flashy player some other SMART team drafted.

This year, I keep seeing Bacteria over committing to an outside rush and getting beat inside. Bosa ate him up a few times with this exact move. They won't return my calls or emails on the subject of blocking assignments, so I can't say for sure that the rookie isn't supposed to be a backup of sorts. It sure looks like Bac is playing on 1 leg.

All the initial post shows is, interior defensive linemen in the NFL are at best, inconsistent. Sure, there are rare breeds like Luke or Erin Donald. But the majority of them aren't gold playas.

When will NFL GMs realize that the math says that they shouldn't draft fat guys - interior linemen, offensively and defensively - til at least the 4th round? There ain't much kung fu drop off between Kenny Clark (1st round pick) and some 6th round pick starting nose tackle for the Browns. This ain't Klemm and Whitticker for Wahle and Rivera. Substitute Taylor, McCray or even Bryon Fucking Bell for the Fucking Center, and the drop-off in pass pro wouldn't be noticeable, although McCray and Bell sucked at run pro, which ain't the point of this thread, yo.

Impressive for a rookie!

I wonder if these percentages are based on sacks, or just pressures. Rodgers escapes a lot of pressures, especially up the middle.

Its based on winning the block within less than 3 seconds. If Rodgers hangs on past that, its on him.

You just poked a geyser sized leak in Tex’s canoe.

What say you now, Tex Norris??

[Bretsky]

No, no, no, no, no. We should have drafted some flashy player some other SMART team drafted.

Are you saying we should be picking the smash mouth football player with production versus the flashy guy with measurables ?
