We need to find 5 good starters who play together for a few years and build continuity.

The constant turnstile is maddening.

Step 1: find good starters
Step 2: build continuity

They're still on step 1 unfortunately

Agreed. There is no value in continuity when you have mostly bad players.

Signing of Schlottman fills the role of backup center that Brederson served. Stinnie is a new addition to guard room though I'd like to see a few more bodies

Watch him become a star now that he has left the Giants. Like several other guys who couldn't wait to get out of here, he will have a good career somewhere else. Don't we wish we had several of those guys back in blue?

Bredeson was on the Ravens before he played for us. Call me crazy, but they seem to be a pretty smart team with a top notch front office. If Bredeson were some big time talent, my guess is they wouldn't have let him get away in the first place.

I don't think Bredeson stinks. I think he's a so-so, mediocre player. The Giants (I hope at least) are trying to get upgrades to mediocre players.

He was the second best player on that Line. Can't resign everyone. I'd rather they try to keep Phillips as a roster spot but Ezeudu better prove his worth because youth carried him this time.

I'm optimistic that our new offensive line coach can help us get these guys a new label.

See my post above. Schlottman was a center for Vikes and I think he started his career with Denver. Sounds like a "guy". Need more than 1 center during camp(s). BTW anyone know the contractual status of the center from Steelers last year?
