Offensive line problems highlight the needs in the NFC North ... except in Chicago, which is kind of unsettling to think about.

Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
you guys are studs and I appreciate the avoidance of RBs and QBs but you can't deny Roethlisberger or Rivers in any real consideration
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
The article is about the next franchise "building blocks," not current ones.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
If their criteria is the next three seasons, I agree. A high quality QB takes too long to develop, and is too much of a crap shoot over that time frame.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
Now, I haven't read the actual article since I don't subscribe to Insider, but isn't the point to name the next building blocks? Rivers and Roethlisberger are current building blocks, so included them would be unnecessary.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
Favre and Lawrence Taylor aren't getting any consideration, either. This is bull, man.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
What about Mayo?
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
Mayo is already a building block. The article is a 'Who's the 5 young players who not haven't done much...yet!'
Otherwise Ryan Clady, Joe Thomas, Jake Long, Darrelle Revis, Demarco Ryans, and Mayo are glaring ommissions.
If i worked at FO i'd add that caveat explaining the selection to the top of the page.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
Gaither has done much more than Mayo so far, I don't know about the other guys. LBs who get lots of tackles on bad defenses aren't that impressive compared to dominant LTs who make it to the championship game.
Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
Yeah, but Mayo won Rookie of the Year while playing for the Patriots. Remember, this is for ESPN

Re: ESPN INSIDER: The Next AFC Franchise Building Blocks
Yeah, its AFC. But while we're there, who else would you tip for the NFC?

Jason Jones
Could a Titans fan kindly confirm for me whether Jason Jones played at defensive tackle or defensive end last year (especially on game 16 when he got all of those sacks)? I thought that he was 4-3 DE, but if he was a DT, my defensive end sack projections would make a lot more sense.

Re: Jason Jones
Jason Jones is a 4-3 DT. Kinda lite guy. More of a Justin Tuck-esque tweener. Read he's added about 10 lbs of muscle in the off-season.
If I hit a grand slam on this hole-in-one the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
