Less likely we keep Starks and Colon if that's the case, which Im fine with! Maybe even Foster too. As long as we block better and are more disciplined! |

Well, Pouncey, DeCastro and Adams are better suited for the ZBS, but Starks, Colon and Gilbert are power blocking types.
Starks is likely gone anyway. I see Colon getting cut too (PLEEEEEEAASE!!!).
However, that still leaves Gilbert, who isnt athletic enough to be a quality RT...in any scheme really.
My hope would be that they slide Gilbert to RG, and DD to LG.
As for the tackles...still not comfy with the idea of Adams at LT until he shows he can pass protect, so that means we may need a LT.
However, I see Adams starting at LT and Gilbert at RT, in which case Im not comfortable at all...regardless of what our OLine scheme is.

| @43: Yeah I think Gilbert would be a decent RG in a ZBS. I agree with you it should be ?-DD-Pouncey-Gilbert-Adams. Not sure who our LT, most important position on OL should be. Sad, we draft 2 RT's with our picks. I mean Adams did progress since TC so maybe he'll improve enough to be a LT. What about: Adams-DD-Pouncey-Gilbert-Beachum? Best of what we have I guess. |

Leave Adams at RT. He was a dominant run blocker there and the run game was very effective. Adams struggled with pass blocking and I would be concerned to put him on the blind side.
I don't know anything about the new OL coach but hopefully he can do more with them than Kugler did.

I think Adams only struggled because he is used to being a LT. Feet and hand placements are different. i noticed he was falling into his LT feet movement when he got under pressure which made him off balance. He learned quickly.

exactly what I noticed too. His footwork was absolutely backwards.
If DeCastro is staying at RG, you can count on Adams being moved to LT, so Adams can pull behind him, a la Will Shields pulling left behind Willie Roaf

No offense, but I don't get it. Adams would pull from his left tackle position to around DeCastro?

I'm assuming he accidentally said Adams can pull instead of Decastro. Especially since the comparison he made was the guard pulling behind the tackle

I am fine with the hire....even though I dont know much about him, at least I dont hate it immediately like I did with the Kugler hire, I tried to stay optimistic, but obviously, I was right not to get excited.
HOWEVER, I am just worried that they will try to use Gilbert as an OT....this team has a habit of trying to force square pegs into round holes. How bout it keth?

| I like it. I think the scheme he most likely brings to the table (Zone Blocking) is really going to help our offensive line and I think when you consider the running game of the Chiefs, albeit behind an offensive line that needs upgrades, it was substantially better than our own. I really think this was a good move and I hope it helps our running game as much as I believe it will. |
