Remmers vs. Kalil

Recommended Posts

RT MIKE REMMERS, 87.1 OVERALL GRADE

Both tackles get credit, where credit is due, simply because of how much they fueled the offense in this one. Remmers was also responsible for just one lone hurry and cleared the way for multiple big runs. The Vikings averaged 9.1 yards per carry on eight runs that hit off the right edge.

T MATT KALIL, 36.3 OVERALL GRADE

Kalil struggled to block Bears edge defender Pernell McPhee and Co., as the former Minnesota Viking surrendered 7 total pressures including a sack and a hit. He also struggled in run blocking, as Panthers’ rushers gained just 14 yards on 7 carries when running left.

Not sure if anyone here has full PFF access but it would be interesting to know how these guys are comparing over the course of the season.

No body wanted to believe me when I said last year we'd miss Remmers if we let him go... Even just average offensive tackles are hard to find.

Yeah and I am not one to imply Remmers was a stud but Kalil was just such an obviously atrocious move. It was stunning. I wonder how Whitworth is grading out?

Yeah Remmers sucks against speed rushers which is why we hated him against the Falcons and Broncos with their  star speed rushers in Beasley and Miller.  Otherwise, he’s been stout against power guys.

Matt Kalil is decent against speed but sucks against power, which is the total opposite of Remmers. He kinda sucks every game. 

It is what it is though.

Crazy enough, Daryl Williams is our best Tackle right now.  Regardless of your bias or not.  It's the truth.  And he's just average as well.

Well, Moton is probably our best tackle, but he won't see the field because Rivera has a hard on for veterans.  I mean Matt Kalil got injured and we threw fuging silatolu in there...

Well, unfortunately Silatolu might BE our best option because we damn sure haven't seen much of Moton. At some level, I hope it is incompetent coaching rather than him just being subpar. That would be much worse.

I doubt it's possible to be worse than what we're starting.  If he's even equal with either tackle, then he needs to start so he can develop.  he's not gonna develop sitting on the bench.  In the past, the only way to get Rivera to start a rookie was by actually cutting the vet.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
