With some of those plays he made, it doesn’t matter if it was against starters or backups. What he personally did was pretty amazing. It’s not like the o line played great. Rome was covered pretty damn good against a backup player, etc. Give the kid credit where due and stop playing the “played against backups” excuses.
By the 27th
For what it is worth, here is a thing of beauty in regards to blocking (2:33 mark). The whole offensive line is blocking 3 defensive linemen on the left hand side and two TEs (14 & 85) are blocking the DE on the right hand side.
I promise you i read your whole post.
I have an assumption that Borom is the closest to the end of the roster, for having not been a "Poles Pick." I think that that is a shame, he has good experience and is young enough that he can still find ways to improve.
Borom is due to make over $3M this season. He is a goner and I doubt they even let him play Thursday. If they do they are stupid.
Sportrac has Chicago sitting pretty with $20M+ in reserve to add more talent to the roster or extend a player on contract. This year, I think $3M is an amount they can absorb for the sake of having the best backups on the roster. But suppose that Poles is still looking for a trade target, and it is a talent that they have to sign to a new contract when he joins the team... Yeah that $3M is a good chunk. Fair point.
I think Pryor is decent depth at G. I'd just prefer not to see him at T.
He's making more than Teven, and he sucks. I think it's bad business to not cut him and save $3M but that's just me.
