Warmack looked bad in space going back to the Bama days, that's what I saw and I know a few others saw it too. Poutasi is also limited, but moves a bit better from what I see. I don't expect Poutasi to be a good pulling G, but see no evidence of him being worse than Warmack.

That kinda rings a bell. But I can't get out of my mind the many times I actually felt embarrassed for the guy when he pulled and either tripped over his own feet, lost balance and fell down, or completely wiffed on a block.

I was just watching some of the 'Bama-LSU game in 2012 on draft breakdown and he had way better lateral moves than he shows now.  He pulled a few times and was decent setting up the screen to the outside too.  Not regularly mind you, but he did do it, and was okay at it.  He got to the second level well also, crossing over behind the center to block on the right side.

I think more than anything he just needs to put down the fork and get back to work.

Also on the CB front it looks like Cary Williams is still a FA, and so is Leon Hall and Cromartie... Jenkins, Powers, and Cortez Allen are also available right now... As well as Rolle being cut...

Didn't Cortez Allen play for Pitt while DLB was there? Whats his story?

Yeah, he played for PIT and sucked last year.  I don't want them signing another PIT stiff.  I think Powers signed somewhere.

I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion, Warmack is one of the worst pulling guards I have seen.

This was really obvious when he was out and they played Meredith and put in plays where he pulled. Well now we can run some plays where the RG can actually pull!

I'm not. When was the last time we made a move for any high demand FA besides Orakpo (and he was coming off injury)?

Levitre, just a couple of years ago.  Didn't turn out well for us either

So that's 2 in the last 5 or so years? Slauson would be a lot cheaper than Levitre. 

They went all out for Peyton Manning. 

They were rumored to have been interested in Josh Norman.

My point was signing big name free agents. Every team has "interest" in various free agents every year. I'll give them credit for Peyton, at least.

Cary Williams is a solid 2CB. 

Wish we would sign dude
