Tenn. RG Benji Olson to be cap cut
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...s/13929706.htm
Quote:
Miami is prepared to add at least two quality veteran offensive linemen, with Damion McIntosh and Seth McKinney the most likely to be replaced. Among centers, Miami is intrigued by New Orleans free agent LeCharles Bentley, whom Dolphins GM Randy Mueller drafted when he was in New Orleans. Word is the Dolphins also would have interest in two possible salary-cap cuts: Jets center Kevin Mawae, 35, and Tennessee guard Benji Olson, 30.

Quote:
A durable, intelligent presence on the offensive line, Benji Olson’s contributions to the Titans offense in his first seven seasons are many. Olson has played in 107 games with 96 starts, all at the right guard position. Due to a groin injury in 2004, he missed his first game since he took over as a full-time starter in 1999, ending his 85-game starting streak. The injury lingered for several weeks, but Olson, in typical fashion, shrugged off the pain to not only start but remain highly effective and anchor a line that suffered through injuries to all five starters at some point during the season. Throughout his career, his trademarks have been his resiliency, commitment and high threshold of pain. His soft-spoken off-the-field demeanor is in sharp contrast to his rugged and aggressive style in the trenches. Olson has been a dominant blocker in both the running and passing games, helping Eddie George or Chris Brown gain over 1,000 rushing yards in five of the last six seasons and protecting Steve McNair as the quarterback ascended to the NFL’s elite and won the MVP Award in 2003. Olson entered the NFL following his junior season at Washington and was selected by the Titans in the fifth round (139th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft.
I say bring him in.
LT - Gallery
LG - Walker
C - Grove
RG - Olson (FA)
RT - Latui (draft)

I would want Bentley or Hutchinson, but as the time draws near I think they are going to want too much moolah that we wont have or they will get outright franchised. Olson however might be affordable.

Isn't Latui a guard? I'm tired of people playing out of position, why can't we just play someone at the position they already know how to play?

We'll know soon enough of Bentley is going to get the franchise tag.

There's like a 99.9% that Hutchinson is going to get Seattle's tag so he's going to stay put. If Bentley gets released, he needs to be one of the first signed.

I like the lineup accept for Walker at LG. He should be the backup RT if anything. Simms should be moved over to LG with Gallery at LT. I don't know much of Latui but I've heard his name before. If, some miracle occurs, and he's still there, I would love to see D'Brickashaw Feruson as our RT. But, we will probably go with Mario Williams or AJ Hawk, depending how things play out.

I also heard that Right Tackle Mike Williams from the Bills is also a free-agent, I thought I would just throw that out there I think he would also be a nice pick-up.

I like those choices as well. You too like the move of pushing Sims inside to LG. He'll be able to hear the QB better and stop jumping before the snap. Fuk'n false start machine!!

Latui WAS a RT at USC, switched in 2005 due to need (replacement of Justice). Hell, I'd take him as a G since he played LG also - switch him and Walker in my roster. Walker played RT for us before.

I agree about playing out of position, but currently we have like 5-6 natural LT on the team, which means somebody is going to play a different position.

I like Runyon, but he is going to cost alot of $$$$ like Hutchinson and Bentley. I think he will be out of our price range expecially since this contract will be his last shot at big $$ since he is an 11 year vet.
