LT vs RT

There has been a lot of speculation that many players that played LT in college would be best fit for RT in the NFL, and they would be really great RTs at that.

So say we draft for example, La'el Collins, who draft analysts predict will be a great RT in the NFL. But that leaves our LT spot wide open.

Say we haven't addressed LT with an upgrade over Remmers in free agency. The project is to move Remmers to LT and see how he plays out there.

Or you keep La'el at LT and keep Remmers where is at RT

Well question is, would you rather have a predicted pro-bowl RT and average to below-average LT, or would you rather LT and RT both be average and good enough, but nothing extraordinary?

Just a question, this scenario will probably not play out but just something I was wondering about.

Personally, I want the best O-line in the league. The money involved would be well worth it.

 

It's easier said than done, but that would be huge. If the Cowboys and us swapped o-lines last year they'd have been at best 5-11 and we'd have been at least 12-4.

Honestly, I think the "LT must be elite" and "RT can be whatever" thought is diminishing now. Back in the 80's and 90's the best DE lined up opposite the 'blindside' of the QB.  For right handed QBs, that means the LT has to be  your best tackle, and the RT could be whatever....but that LT had better be Jonathan Ogden or else.

 

Now, I think DEs are so freakish and can be moved around all over, that it's not as important as the past.  

 

Ideally, yes I'd love our most talented T to be the LT, but I think if you can get an All-Pro caliber RT, you do.  4 insanely talented linemen will protect Cam no matter if the LT is strongest or weakest.  We can run dual TE sets and chip Dickson or Williams back to help the LT too.  

 

The combination of Norwell-Kalil-Turner-Stud RT will be enough to compensate for a weak LT, IMO.

There's no way I pass on a potentially dominate RT at #25 simply because I also need a LT.  That isn't a very logical line of thinking IMO.

 

Some Huddlers are stuck in the Polian, Capers, Seifert, Hurney way of drafting to fill a need. 18 years of that is hard to break after only 2 Gettleman years.

 

Some Huddlers have adapted more quickly to the new paradigm than others.

Scouts over react when it comes to college LTs. I feel like they say that every LT would be better if they moved inside or to RT even if that player has no experience at anything besides LT. They just overreact since LT is the most important position on the line. 

 

Anyways if we draft a LT in the first he will more than likely stay there

Sign two FA tackles. Drafted tackles have been rubbish recently and there's no need to experiment with a rookie when you've got NFL starters available to fill needs.

 

You are NOT going to get a top LT in free agency....teams do not let them go.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
