Sorry if this has already been discussed... but did anyone find it interesting that Daryl Williams started at RT for the official dress rehearsal?  I couldn't watch the entire game, but I remember seeing Moton playing well into the 4th quarter, and maybe to 0:00.  I thought Moton was impressing at camp?  If Moton were going to surpass Williams, wouldn't Rivera have started him last night, considering it's Preseason Game #3?

Thoughts?

I think Moton is better than Williams, but that Williams provides good depth.  That 1st drive was beautiful.

Williams is the veteran in comparison . Unless he's shitting the bed consistently in pre season and practice, he'll probably be the starter at least to start the season based on previous nfl experience alone. 

Yeah it's nothing against Moton, and from all accounts he is the future, but there's a vet who's been in the system for 3 years ahead of him. Plus Moton seems to be learning every single position on the line minus center. As long as Williams is serviceable there's no need to shake everything up.

You think Ron is going to play the rookie who is better over the veteran that he "trusts"?

It may sound dumb, but he might--particularly on the line.  The better question is, which player makes us a better team?  I think Moton is better than Williams, but right now the team may be better with Williams starting than Moton, maybe for no other reason than he knows the playbook better and Turner/Olsen are more instinctive with Williams than they are with Moton.

Give it time, he'll be there at some point.

It's nice to have 3 competent OTs.. if Amini can keep progressing - dare I say 4?

I forgot what it's like to have more than one competent OT on the team after Remmers, Bell, Chandler and friends. As long as they don't helplessly piss and poo themselves at the face of an edge rush then this team will be going places.

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
