If Jackson turns out to be a good LT… you have one of the greatest values in the sport when it comes to team building.
Why is this even a thought?

Honestly, I don’t think we’ll be making any trades before the deadline.

Probably because it's still an "IF"

Do we go with a possible LT who might be good or go get someone that is a sure thing one of the top LT in the league

At worst we can move him to RT RG or LG if he continues to be good

That's very possible. I think this team is already good enough if we can stay healthy.

We probably need to pick up a practice squad running back from another team if Akers is let go in a trade or release

Brown and Henderson make me uneasy due to their injury history. Hopefully Williams sprain ankle was a one time deal.

Well, I’d certainly not go in that direction with a prospect playing as well as Jackson.
Also, what does anyone reasonably expect it would take to get Tunsil? Someone suggested a 2nd, which is laughable.

The stats don't lie. Stafford is the highest pressured QB in the league at 33%.

We have 3 times as many sacks at this point as last year.

We are 10 ppg down from last year.

And I could go on there are even more negative metrics.

I believe it is the OL and mostly their fault. We need to get Laremy Tunsil from Houston and here's why.

Last year's OL had Whit and no injuries. This season Noteboom has given up 5 sacks and 16 pressures already. Whit gave up 5 sacks in an entire season and 20 pressures. Noteboom is definitely one of the major issues. We don't know if Jackson can hold up he is an UDFA playing the most important position on the line.

Laremy Tunsil is a top 5 LT he shores up a huge problem we move Jackson into the other problem on the line LG where Edwards is no better than Noteboom and Stafford will have the time he needs. We can acquire every top OLB but if we don't score more points we will never win games.

He has one more year signed through 2023. His current base is little over 1m -that is super tradeable - Houston coverted his salary to bonus this year reducing his base and next year his salary is 18.5m. This is a predicated on Houston wanting to let arguably their best player go.

I know some will say we paid for Noteboom, we did but unfortunately he is not working out and we need to come to terms with it look at the stats I provided of him vs Whit he is a disaster and with 3 years in the system there should be zero excuses by now and he is not cutting it.

Tough decisions need to made Noteboom vs Tunsil - OLB vs OL but like I will say again if you don't fix the OL all those defensive pressures won't matter.

I have this crazy feeling that Alaric Jackson is going to step up to the plate.

Give him a couple games to settle in and I think he's going to do just fine.

Not that this is what's going to make or break him but he has prototypical size, nice long arms.
Excellent footwork.

Just to my eyes, he looks like he can play tackle.

You didn't see my Jimmy Johnson post?

I agree - I highly doubt we could get Tunsil at even a remotely reasonable deal.

I was just stating my thoughts on why people would go for Tunsil instead of sticking with Jackson

Now if Bob was still the GM ......

Do a Jimmy Johnson trade for Williams - let's not have any picks next year

Actually, it was Mike Ditka.

I remember him smoking a cegar after the pick. He was prouder than a peacock.
