rns90 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Kind of surprising in hindsight that they didn't draft an OT, unless they think Davis can play OT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 It's very possible that after this coming year that the only player left from the 2016 class will be Byard. But hopefully Henry keeps it up and is brought back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they think they can sign him for less than Conklin would have cost. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex in a Can Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 JRob essentially replaced Dodd and Johnson with Landry and Simmons, if Henry and Conklin bust out, JRob will replace them and keep going, that's apparently a huge strength for a GM to admit mistakes and then fix them.

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted May 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Once again Robinson doesn’t care, he declines offer despite making a huge trade up for Conklin. At the same time it’s kinda funny the reason Robinson gave for firing Mularkey was he wasn’t maximizing the talent. All the talent Robinson is getting rid of! We all know who’s next too!!!!

Starkiller Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I don’t see them trading Conklin. He is still the starting RT unless he continues to struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Well - Blake's definitely right about this. Although nowadays, right tackles aren't as different from left tackles as they used to be in terms of importance. But still a difference.

TitanDuckFan Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 JRob knows he jerked the rug out from under him when they switched from a power scheme to the zone. Huston, tgo, titanruss, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Need to get Kelly signed up beyond this season now as insurance, don't want a situation where we are heading into the offseason with absolutely no one that can play RT under contract, that is how you end up getting desperate in FA. Will throw out an early name to keep an eye on during the upcoming CFB season ahead of the 2020 Draft, Iowa RT Tristan Wirfs, the kid is an absolute beast.

Titans279 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Conklin was overrated and it was a mistake to trade up for him. Been saying it for years. Feels good TitanTez, and Tyler Rose Fan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamRamrod Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Glad to see the board coming around But I do hope he improves and earns that second contract. Not too many teams have two good starting OTs. pamo9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Conk would see 13M on the open market as a RT who has struggled recently. Doesn't make business sense to pay him above his free market rate. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
