King Dunlop views on him?

[GOTA]

After week 7, he played ever snap for the Eagles, and I totally disagree with you. He gave up less sacks, pressures, and hits than Oher did down that stretch at LT.

Dunlap gave up 4 sacks after week 7, Oher gave up 8. Oher gave up 17 QB pressures while Dunlap gave up 15. Dunlop also had Nick Foles playing QB who was a rookie.

Let's see if the Eagles even try to resign him. I have a feeling they are so sick of him that they won't

[GOTA]

Well, I'm calling it right now. Jake Long will be a Raven.

What happened to all those Clady predictions?

I was thinking the same thing. If it's one thing the playoff run proved, it's how deadly the offense can be with a good offensive line. I think hiring Castillo is part of the plan to eventually dominate in that arena. Perhaps they've decided to stop pussyfooting around and really shore up a solid young line that can work with Joe for years to come.

Pass on Dunlop.... Hoping McKinnie is back and under 360 in 2013 !!!

The few games i saw i didnt really care for dunlap. Most eagles fans i know dont really care for the guy much amd quite frankly, sounds pretty similar to our fanbases thoughts on oher. I dont think he was really "better" than oher id say both are pretty much proving not to be NFL LTs. If its dunlop Oher or a rookie... Id take the rookie. Even inexperienced at this point i have to assume if we draft one in the first two rounds hell be better than either or atleast have more upside and be better with more experience. To me Dunlap is only an option if we lose out on drafting one we targeted early and hes still available after the draft for depth. Even then we may wait to see if a vet gets cut later.

Dunlop is going to be available latter on in free agency. He's not someone that any team will be in a rush to sign but he eventually will make a roster.

he's getting tagged.

I think Dunlap is going to be one of the best value to price relationships.

He'll be 28 in September, McKinnie will be 34 just 2 weeks later. That matters less if we're talking about a 1-2 year deal, but the projected decline in even a full season of activity for McKinnie is non-trivial.

McKinnie and Dunlap have a lot of similarities, particularly in terms of height, and natural pass blocking advantages, while neither is an effective run blocker.

Assuming they were the same price, I'd take Dunlap first. I'm not sure how the market will value them.

There are no questions that he's better than Oher at LT right?

I know. It's kind of a joke with Excellector and me. For months he was posting that Clady would be a Raven and I would always reply that there is no way the Broncos don't tag Clady. Looks like he finally agrees and has moved on to Long. Honestly I don't the Ravens able to sign any contracts of that size this year.

Denver said they'd tag Clady.

[The Excellector]

I'm not out of it yet Batman! Randy Moss is an UFA, the market will be full of LTs and no one else has drafted Tavon Austin or Mike Minter yet.

We've gone back and forth on things for probably 10 years now. I figure we're probably even over that time. Plus it's always fun to debate potential moves.

I score the Ravens games for linemen and look at PFF as an anchor site. For the great majority of games, PFF and my scoring are very close. For PFF, Oher's pass blocking score was considerably lower than Dunlap's, who accomplished that positive score in fewer snaps.

There are issues with Dunlap as a run blocker (as there are with Oher), but on the left side, we need a guy who can deliver some pressure shutouts, which Dunlap did.

I would be good with them signing Dunlap (because he would be a decent stop-gap guy and would be cheap), but I would hope that they wouldn't sign him and then be in the same exact boat next off-season with the LT position.

Sign Dunlap.

Draft someone that has a legitimate shot at developing into a LT.

[Iscull]

Dunlop is no where near as good as Oher. He's completely stiff. Every chance the Eagles can to bench him they do. I wouldn't go near this guy.

Agreed. I've watched the Eagles a lot over the past couple of years and I can tell you this guy is terrrible. The only thing that he has is size.

[blah3]

King Dunlap is terrible. He's an end of the bench guy. There is no way he is a better option than either McKinnie or Oher.

[OhThePossibilities]

Well, I'm calling it right now. Jake Long will be a Raven.

In 2018?

[leachisabeast]

Don't understand why people think he's worse than Michael Oher at LT, you all have short memories.
