looks like Bell and Williams at LT so far

R.R did say after the 2nd pre season game they would decide the starter...Chandler falling out of favor then....maybe destined for the right side or he isn't what they expected at thus point.Guess they are determined to give Bell every chance to take it with Williams next in line.You would think if Chandler was the guy he would be getting the bulk of the work there...looks like that hasn't been the case.He showed poorly last game and maybe they have already decided. I don't know what to make of this carnival ride at LT anymore.

Realistically, that's most teams.

Pretty much nobody has an elite backup left tackle, but people think that's unique to us.

 

I don't think most rational people here are expecting "elite".

 

But at the absolute minimum we need competent players on the OL, and at this point that doesn't look all too good. Our depth is scary.

Unique to us is having a franchise QB.....and letting an undrafted backup caliber T and former DT convert battle it out for starting LT

Eh, look at how easily the Saints replaced their LT last season. No one is saying everyone has elite depth, but most teams have someone who could play LT decently. Anytime Gross was out or injured(which was rare) Wharton could be plugged into the left.

    • Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.     
    • Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
    • I'd honestly take The Golden Calf of Bristol over Young. You know you can design an O around his skillset to win you games. Plus, as a bonus, said O would wear him down within 3 years so you could move on from him.
