He's been a decent OT. Not great but above average.

There's a reason Detroit had a major need to draft a LT last year

 

he's much better than Remmers.  But not worth big money which some gms will throw at him because he will be the top OT free agent in a super weak class

Not really. They needed a RT to replace Cornelius Lucas. Decker was the best OT left on the board. Decker is better suited on the left side than right. 

Detroit had a lot of holes.  If all they needed was a guy to plug in at RT they wouldn't have drafted Decker.  Which if you go back and look, most felt Detroit reached to grab.  Maybe t had him going at the end of the first and even a option for us at j the 1st. Especially when there were higher rated guys at other position of needs.  Detroit reached to grab a OT because they felt they had a pretty big need at LT

Bc Decker is better suited for LT. Detroit didn't draft Decker to replace Reiff; replace Lucas. Moving Reiff to RT was more a luxury move. 

Nobody moves their starting left tackle to right tackle because they need a replacement right tackle.

They move him because they don't think he's good enough on the left.

I'd look at Reiff as a right tackle only.

Going off what the DET beat writers have said about him, while he was on the left he was a liability in pass protection.  He was reported to be serviceable on the right side this year but Walford was playing beside him and I am sure that helped him as well.  So if he is cheap enough it might make some sense as  a depth move on the right, but he will probably not be a solution on the left for us.

I do think that he's a better RT than LT. 

When you have Reiff and Decker, you play Decker at LT. Same as if Oher comes back, you play Oher at LT. You play Jason Peters at LT and Lane at RT. On and on.....

 

im just saying, Reiff is a good option and huge upgrade over Remmers. Possibly even Oher at this point of his career. I like Andrew Whitworth. I'm not into the idea of trading a 1st or 2nd for Thomas or Staley. If you want to get a better tackle the sign Whitworth. If you want to go younger and long term, then Reiff. Cam Robinson, I like but plenty of red flags.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
