Wonderboy Haeg from last season was so overwhelming during his 2nd Training Camp as a 5th round draft choice in 2016 that he could not retain a starting position in 2017 and appears to be riding the bench. We will see if he is again a starter in the future.

Banner drafted in the 4th round and then cut without playing a real down ffor us....

Schwenke signed to a solid veteran contract and then cut without playing a a real down for us....

I have to admit, this "trend" is beginning to make me wonder about Philbin's coaching ability. If the line performs better than, of course, all is forgiven but...

Walk Worthy,
In fairness, I always got the idea that Good was projected as a starter but was too green to be in that position, until now apparently. Chappie always seemed to give that outlook for him anyway. Haven't followed Haeg's projections as closely.

As far as the original post, being so positive is fine, but taken literally, the quote means he has felt worse about the line which would be in spite of prior sunshine & rainbow-filled assessments back then.

I like Good but don't think he is a starter. Although I do like him at tackle way more than guard.

I do like him there more than vagitch.

As has been pointed out, this is company line he's giving to the media because he has to say something. I'm sure he's not happy about the condition of the line, nor should he be with his one of his top 2 lineman out and Grigson draft picks not performing up to expectations.

Having A.Q. Shipley would be nice.

Sadly I would venture to bet he is telling the truth!

I don't think as highly of Shipley as some, but he was at least a decent backup C.

He was the tallest midget, more a reflection of how bad the other centers have been. Pretty pathetic when Shipley was the best center on the roster from 2012 through 2015.

He would have been valuable depth at the very least. He's better than Bond and still starting for Arizona (I think).

He is listed as the starter on their depth chart.
