Quote:I hear ta, but tell me Branch/Gregory doesn't sound absolutely formidable, with Marks and Miller in the Middle. How's O'Leary as a blocker? He looks like an old school guy who is willing to get his hands dirty in the run game

Hell yeah, our D line would be dangerous... i do think we are going to miss bryant and clemons when they go regardless of who we get... i think it's ryan davis who hasnt been looking bad in the later portion of this season either.

 

O'leary isnt a bad run and pass blocker, but Lewis is one of the better blocking TE's in the league so i think who ever we get, will see a little drop off as far a blocking from the TE position. i really only have two qualms with O'leary. first is the fact he takes pretty big hits over the middle, alot of it was play calling, but i've seen that guy get absolutely plastered over the middle more than once. second, might be stupid, but i hate when someone who is receiving the ball doesn't wear gloves.. there is a reason almost every guy who receives passes or handles the ball wears gloves-THEY WORK lol.... once he gets to the NFL he will need them to hang on to the rock with all the strips drills DB's runs, let alone just catch in traffic.
