That was an entirely different regime.. we didn't see Fisher platoon any with Tytus last yrI can see him platooning at LT much like Duane Brown did his first year

Demeco Ryans was on that roster and saw how much it helped DB. Not saying it will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised.That was an entirely different regime.. we didn't see Fisher platoon any with Tytus last yr
Interesting connection I found in Aaron Wilson’s interview with Ersery’s OL coach. Ersery’s coach Brian Callahan actually coached on the same staff as Caley at Akron and Eastern Illinois. You’d think he would be a straight shooter regarding the player with that connection.
Also, Minnesota has put out some solid OL recently with Faalele (starting RG Ravens) and Michael-Schmitz (starting C NYG) being 4th and 2nd round picks recently.
As much as I want the 5 best OL guys out there, regardless of position, time after time we've seen the rookies drafted for the OL have to switch positions constantly. They never seem to just learn one position which hurts their development.I agree with Ryans.
You may be misinterpreting coach Meco. He isn’t saying Ersery will be the starting LT. He is saying that during OTA’s and TC, he will be at LT. In other words, the plan is to train him at LT first. His statement also didn’t rule out trying him at G, just not from jump…although I personally don’t think he is a guard and most likely stays at tackle.Starting LT, lets gooooooo
This is what I hope happens,I don't want Ersery starting unless he's ready to go and outplays Robinson. I like the DB/Salaam comparison. We've seen it work and if the rookie can play, they should put him in the starting lineup. No need to rush him, but do it when he's ready (or out of necessity if someone gets hurt).
Hopefully it works out as well as the Salaam/D. Brown LT situation did.So we have a suspect Cam Robertson, a veteran with experience, and a rookie trainee at LT. At least so far. I sure hope one of the two works out, otherwise it'll be a long season and a very bumpy ride for CJ.
Looks like Thanos
I think he had no choice and neither did we....let's revisit around DecemberI think the one year prove it deal was okay with both the player and the team. If he has a really good year, he could still get another very lucrative deal to end his career.
I am not saying Meco said it, I am saying he will win starting LT. Don't sleep on himYou may be misinterpreting coach Meco. He isn’t saying Ersery will be the starting LT.

Hopefully we see the CJ that was able to work through a poor OL in his rookie season, rather than the CJ that was unable to work through a poor OL and a passing scheme that had completely lost its way last season.So we have a suspect Cam Robertson, a veteran with experience, and a rookie trainee at LT.

As you stated, I will give S2roud some credit, he had to deal with a whole lot more than just a busted OL.Hopefully we see the CJ that was able to work through a poor OL in his rookie season, rather than the CJ that was unable to work through a poor OL and a passing scheme that had completely lost its way last season.
You had Diggs, Dell & Schultz all being used outside of their strengths last year, the TE backups all got injured, the WR backups all failed to develop. The OC got fired for it.
Got to hope that this season will be better on both ends of the O.
The law of averages would suggest that you're correct. I don't think everything is going to 100% fixed but looking back, the Texans did catch a lot of bad breaks. Some of them self inflicted others completely random.Hopefully we see the CJ that was able to work through a poor OL in his rookie season, rather than the CJ that was unable to work through a poor OL and a passing scheme that had completely lost its way last season.

As for Fisher, he’s my starting RT unless one of the veteran free agents beat him out of the starting job. I believe the same can be said for Scruggs at RG and Patterson at C.
For maybe the first time ever the Texans will have competition at all 5 OL spotsThat’s why they’ll compete.

I'll believe it when I see it.For maybe the first time ever the Texans will have competition at all 5 OL spots
How will you know?I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm concerned whether there will be enough time/reps during training camp to determine starters and develop chemistry to operate effectively as a unit.For maybe the first time ever the Texans will have competition at all 5 OL spots
I think they will have to make a lot of those decisions by the time OTA's are overI'm concerned whether there will be enough time/reps during training camp to determine starters and develop chemistry to operate effectively as a unit.

I agree with that, outside of injury. Robinson will have to lose the job on the field.The only guy that i would say is at least 90% locked in is Cam at LT.
The season won't start with the three IOL struggling to pick up stunts.How will you know?
