Will we re-sign Ryan Jensen?

We dont value anyone on offense

I think Ozzie will use the lets wait till someone else signs him approach. Then pick some other guy who never, or rarely, played center before perform the task. It a good way to protect your multi-million dollar investment.

I have to reluctantly agree because I really do like Jensen. However, in my mind he is not a $10 mil. Center. Isn't it enough we paid $11 mil. for BWill who is a one-trick-pony? I hate to lose anything on the offensive side, but over-paying is not the solution. Perhaps drafting more offensive players is? That seems the way to go for a team with limited cap space... Bc

Skura might be OK between 2 top level guards, but if we'd have had Skura starting the year between Hurst and Eluemanour this season, Joe might be crippled by now. Jensen anchoring the middle allowed us to survive losing Yanda and Lewis both and still have an effective OL.

How did Jensen rate to my boy Pat Elflien

I'm starting to accept that Skura will be our starting C heading into TC.

Always the draft as well but ya, the more I look at free agency the more I see that we’re gonna be relying heavily on the draft until we get in a better cap situation. Hopefully we fix our drafts. 2016 was nice but I’m not too crazy about the last draft. Hump is a major hit but the rest looks pretty bad at this point. Really hope that class shows more next year.

If you believe that Jensen is a player who thoroughly loves the sport and whose competitive nature runs too deep to become lax after being paid, you pay him, because his arrow is certainly pointing up and there is a dearth across the entire offensive line in this league.

Even if you chip, you don't have any Tight Ends athletic enough to create consistent space from defenders in man coverage without being asked to do extra. It's going to be more difficult for them when you ask them to chip. There is no percentage that can be placed on the impact that has on a game.

Last year, you had every issue you have this year, from a passing perspective, except that the edge pressure was well contained. Now, that's not even a given.

But we're missing the most important point here. Who has better hands when we run a tackle eligible play? Wagner, Howard, or Maclin?

Wagner.

They have two options: Nico Siragusa and Matt Skura.

Skura played well this year, so he’d probably be the odds on favorite.

OL:
Stanley
Lewis
Skura
Yanda
Howard

I don't blame the guy. I will happily pay a C who is entering their prime.

Hopefully Ozzie will too. We seem way worse at finding centers than other ol.
