+1. I'm sure DG and Shumur watched the films and felt there are better options. Hopefully its not John Jerry, this team can't take another year with him starting.

It's a one-year deal for DJ Fluker in Seattle, his agent @DerykGilmore confirmed: "He's in the best shape of his life and really excited about this opportunity."
the running game definitely improved with him in there. He was something of a mauler which we needed. Also thought because he was a high draft pick labeled a bust that he could be a positive influence on Flowers. It ain't easy handling all that negativity. Fluker has kept at it and is probably on his way to a decent career.
is better than Flowers. That is not saying much but Id prefer fluker on the field notwithstanding salary implications.
You cannot be serious? Just how in any, way, shape or form is DJ Fluker better than Flowers? He is heavier, but aside from that how is he better? He is an immobile guard.
OG, this team is going to a more zone based run blocking scheme, so the OGs have to be able to move laterally and be quicker than the two fatsos we used last year. This team has been plenty big up front, but too damn slow in recent seasons. Big heavy footed plodding OGs don't help a team with a terrible playbook and terrible RBs which we've had for about 5 years now.

Wha??
Flowers is THE WORST LT in the league; he gets smacked around even for his supposed "strength" and "size" and will be shit at guard or RT. Plus, he is a locker room asshole. Fluker was more effective on the field and better in the locker room - his teammates actually like him. That is wha.

...Justin Pugh, let 'em walk.
Weston Richburg, let 'em walk.
D.J Fluker, let 'em walk.
DG came in to change our fucked up O-line.
Let 'em all walk.
He played decently - but did not play to the level of "must re-sign".
Seahawks- Fluker
Niners- Richburg
Cardinals- Pugh
Look out for the Rams to pick up John Jerry once we release him.

Common thread has been determined for our failure:
All those guys were playing on the east coast when they should have been in a west coast offense.

Jerry! Stay!
I actually think Jerry is a pretty good back up to have. I expect another interior lineman somewhere in rounds 2 or 3.
Solari's been a very good line coach in the NFL for a number of years.

Yea, but he actually made a shitty O Line even worse. He really had ONE job and he swumg and missed.....TWICE.
