So let's say we have Little, Harrison, and Fortner (at Guard, not Center).  So we just need to find a Center, maybe in Free Agency?  And get best Guard available in the 1st round, and a back up lineman in the 2nd round.  

I was gonna say we dump Scherff and go find another free agent guard, but dude, his cap hit is 14 Million...  He's gonna be with us next year, too.  Freakin' making money and playing like trash.  SMH.

Well I hope the coaches can improve them talent wise. We do have a lot of young guys and you hope with time they will get better. I'd feel a lot more confident if, like you say, it's one guy per year kind of deal and add some depth and competion. 

Yeah Scherff isn't going anywhere. Kind of like Norwell. A big ticket FA who looks to be a great pickup but not playing up to thr contract. I feel sorry for whatever team is going to pay Cam $18m-$20m this offseason.

Right?  Cam is the next Jawaan Taylor!!!  LOL

Honestly, though?  If we could get Cam for 6 million.  I'd keep him.  But I'm sure he's looking for a sucker to overpay him.

Which is fine.  Little is good.  And Anton Harrison looks like he's gonna be good too.  It's just how do we manage the Gs and C?  People are saying Scherff is hobble, which I think is true...  The problem is that there are highlights I've seen where the dude is just standing there and missing blitzers or stunts that are coming right into his line of view.  I think with Scherff it's not that he's at 80% because of dings, but that he's not giving effort out there.  Sometimes it's like he's checked out and not willing to make a play.  

With that said, Fortner sometimes looks like he's thinking too much.  It's not a lack of effort with Fornter, but that maybe C in not the right position for him.  Why not move him to G and give someone else a chance...

Of course, when you look at our depth chart...  Yeesh...  It's not like there are a lot of options...  Help is not on the way this year...  Lawrence is going to have to continue to keep his head on a swivel.  And our coaches have to do a good job of keeping the Defenses guessing.  The play calling today really helped keep Trevor productive and kept the team in the game.  Unfortunately, it also means Trevor is gonna get hit alot.  If this team get's to the AFC Championship game, it'll be a HUGE accomplishment.
