I don't care if Lynch brings back memories of Patton.
I just want him to be able to process coverages and blitzes
Schefter can go pack sand.

Is Babre on par as a run blocker though? I appreciate that we desperately NEED quality pass protection, not just because we've so sorely lacked it so long, but because we have nothing BUT green QBs and don't need them "developing" into broken down spazzes. That said, straight ahead run blocking is Garcias (sole) true strength, and a primary duty of the RG. He won't be facing inside stunts from elite edge rushers, because they're on the QBs blindside, but WILL need to outmuscle and outtussle the biggest meanest NTs and LDEs so our RBs average >2 yds/att to avoid leaving our green unprotected QBs in 3rd and long.
Garcia's a huge liability in pass blocking because he's so easily fooled and outmaneuvered, but I hope this is more than a zero-sum trade of awful pass blocking but great run blocking for great pass blocking but awful run blocking. If, in fact, Garcia does lose his job to a guy who's only been on the team a few weeks (which in itself would speak volumes about Garcias overall ability.)
Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. —Jaded

Lol @ the thought of Garcia being great at anything. . .
Seems like OL is being shifted a lot. That being said get leary on the LG spot. His natural position.
All the tall of Paxton being given every opportunity, so is Garcia. They moved Leary to RG just to give Garcia a better shot.
Elway commenting about QB competition. Basically he wants a QB to take control and run away with the job. Siemian has not ran away with it. He has been better but not standing out as the clear winner.

According to Tyler Polumbus, Barbre has played either four or all five positions over the years and he said he can play either guard/tackle spot. Believes that either Schofield or Barbre will make team, because they are both OL utility guys. Also feels that if Barbre wins job, that Schofield probably makes team for same reason, they need one of their backups to be flexible.

The first: Garcia's a bruising straight ahead run blocker; the problem is football fields aren't two-dimensional. HOWEVER, we've seen a TON of nimble savvy pass protectors who were worse than useless on 3rd and 1 or 4th and G—all the way back to Kubiak and Dennisons original coaching gigs under Shanny.
That's ultimately just as big a liability for passing, because if we can never pick up more than a yard or two rushing on 1st and 2nd down we'll never have the luxury of 3rd and 1 or 2 with our whole playbook available: We'll live and die in 3rd and long. With a rebuilt line and nothing but green QBs, mostly die. Remember, the reason guys like Jaded hate the ZBS is the lack of line surge: It's all pirouettes and judo, no sumos need apply.
There's no reason a lineman can't be strong AND agile, but the few who are rarely hit the waiver wire. And I'm (very) tired of simply swapping one set of liabilities for another on the offensive line; that's not how the guy with his name on the trophy got it there. If Barbre (and/or McGovern) can do the literal heavy lifting, great; a lineman who can pancake DTs AND pass protect is obviously better than a guy who can only do one or the other.
