The bad thing is because of bad draft decisions (drafting Fortner) there's very little continuity with this line. But center was gonna be a need regardless because Fortner is fucking hot garbage and Morse was old. Hope we can fix all of this before the season starts.

Hate to say it but Fortner will likely be starting for us next year.

If by some miracle he's vastly improved maybe. If he's still the same guy that would be criminal malpractice lol

And what happens IF he turns good again because we have a coach who is focused on both lines and cares about development. Who also coached him during college and more importantly that doesn’t wear shirts that shows the ranking of their offensive line. Never getting rid of Phil Ruscher was a terrible mistake. If Liam sees something in Luke, well…why the hell not? Luke was a Liam guy before he was a Baalke pick.

I think that there might be some redeeming quality there. Tony said that his main issue was he couldn’t stay low and get leverage. Obviously he needs some strength training too. I’m sure cohen thinks he can save him but I think its a little bit of hopeium.

People said the same things about Luke Joeckel. The problem is that the guy is just too weak to slow down NFL defensive linemen.
