I'd take him. Our new OL coach can fix him.

If it would get Sandra Bullock to show up at games, I'm all in favor.
He would HAVE to be better than Adams.
 
What about Sandra Bullocks blindside? lol...he would be a solid signing. I'm not sure who is worse, Gilbert or Adams.
 
can't hurt what about him at LG

He struggled in pass protection AND run blocking...not sure how that upgrades ANYONE on our line.

I am by no means on the Adams bandwagon but I will say this two years ago he played well and wanted him to start over Gilbert. This year in the little that he played I thought Adams did fine and we really can't complain about the way our line played this year. As for Oher his time has come and gone, no thank you.

I think some of the criticism of Adams (and others) is due to him being a high round pick. If he had been a mid or late round pick I think people would be less critical and more optimistic.
 
He is not effective anymore? The refs must have stopped him from starting the play a half second early and stopped his lining up three yards into the backfield.

Oher was a great story. I just hope he doens't go OJ Simpson on us later in life.

Adams was horrible last year and this year. He almost got Ben killed at LT last year and was benched 4 games into the year and then starting playing TE. This year he graded out terribly even though the didn't allow many sacks. The Steelers turned into a left dominant team when he started RT. They couldn't run behind him and he got a lot of help in pass protection. Hell they even stopped rolling Ben to the right because he was so bad. A right handed QB having to roll left because Adams was so horrible.

In years gone by we have had players that were great on the offensive line. I do not believe we have any that are great on our line now. Pouncey is not that great compared to what we have had in the past, Mullins, Webster, Dawson, Hartings. Any of them in their prime are an upgrade. Faneca is a huge upgrade at guard over anyone we have had since. Maybe the guys we have can improve but they have not been impressive to say the least. The Ravens did everything but take their lunch money the last time they played them, they looked bad.

There are lots of high draft picks on that line and the production does not seem to match.
