thankyou. oir maybe he will fall in between the two. example we got a very good year out of larry allen and we actually got a very nice serviceable year out of issac bruce. if this guy helps to solidify the line untill some of the kids grow up or in the case of our draft pick with a broken foot,,, heal up,, its all good

This is a great signing. If his health holds up then I can't imagine him getting cut, thereby at the very least providing extra depth to the OL.

The guy is a beast, even if he is on the downside of his career, he is still better than a lot of the other available RG free agents, plus he is freakish strong and I'm sure Anthony Davis will have more confidence playing next to Davis and become even more of a mean nasty RT with big Leonard on his team

I like this move, it allows us to use Boone as an extra TE in the big packages, along with other options at blocking FB (Soap, Cowboy, Turk) ...this has the potential to be a very versatile offense , we can go BIG, or use Multiple receivers and use our speed, it's going to be a fun season watching our team smash some fools

This. Like he said, he was running normal drills with team members already, no problem. And losing 10-20 pounds when you are 370 over a few months is nothing for these guys. And he has the extra motivation to start...he just has to beat out Boone who's a light, converted T. With a line this size and if he can hold up and gain steam, our running game could be epic esp. with essentially 6 or 7 starting OL's. And let's be honest, he's a road grader so it's just a matter of picking the right angle and walling guys off and creating space inside. And when you face a guy like Suh, who would you rather have next to A. Davis? Boone or Davis? If Boone gets the nod he's going to really have to earn it which again, is best for the team AND he learns an additional position (even if he doesn't win it).

There is a lot of jumbo packages, short yardage packages, you can bring Boone in for sweeps to the left side, etc.

With Looney not being able to practice, I think this is a sign that they are going to redshirt him (PUP / IR). I like the pick and think he will be good eventually.

As for Davis, running to the right (with Iupati pulling to that side) is going to be epic. Imagine a DB or LB seeing A. Davis, L. Davis, and Iupati coming at them with a head of steam and evil intentions.

Or, since we have three Smiths, we needed 3 Davises

if nothing else gives us some depth at OG. I still think Boone is way more valuable as a Swing Tackle than as a OG.

Staley-Boone
Iupati-Looney
Goodwin-Slowey
Kilgore-L.Davis
A. Davis-Person/Hall

Or Larry Allen part 2.

Or neither.

Fun game.

How us this guy a career bust? He made 3 pro bowls...akili smith and Ryan leaf never made any pro bowls....those are career busts.... That being said I hope the young guy Boone beats him out, would give us a long term solution rather than a band-aid at guard

Love it...line VD on that side as the blocking TE and my God, just a wall of attitude coming at you with Hunter/Gore/LMJ/Jacobs following.
