It's time to bench Kalil

It is beyond Remmers.  I also can't imagine Amini or Moton being much worse.  Give them a try.

He has to be in the coach's doghouse after this game.  

He seriously does not block..he just holds the guy as long as he can before they blow by him or just slightly shoves the DE.

Can’t believe we handed this chump a sack of cash when Andrew Whitworth could have been in Carolina. With the vets on this team, adding another that would have actually warranted the price would have gone a long way and given us just enough time to properly address the position in another year or two when Whitworth hangs em up.

Not even just Whitworth.  Considering the cash we gave him there was Reiff, Wagner, a few others.

He held the guy (got flagged for it) and then grabbed the guy's helmet (getting another flag) in the same play AND the guy still hit Cam. 

Heck, I can't defend keeping the guy among the starters or even on the team anymore. I had hopes for him, but it's like we bought him mail order without really reading the product description.

That early play when Cam had half an hour then lay down for the sack, he did great. I was hopeful that he might bring his improved form into this game. After that though, it was his penalties that killed us. It won't get any easier for him against the Vikes. So much for the hope that he had turned the corner.

I hate Kalil as much as the next person, but Amini is the last person I want to see on the field. The few times he has come in when Turner got hurt, he looked unbelievably awful (and that is blocking a DT on pass rush). I can't even fathom how terrible he would be blocking ends on the pass rush.

No idea about Moton, but hopefully he and Williams are the starting tackles next season.

Reallllly bad.  Beyond Byron Bell, he's Nate Chandler bad.  

Seriously, when he's causing sacks and not getting RBs holes, there's absolutely no reason to keep him out there.  His being on the field is actively hurting the offense and honestly, a big reason why we're not getting it together.

Williams is a pure RT/Guard type so I wouldn't want to try him but Moton should get a look at this point.  We took him right after Dion Dawkins who's done well.  Just try it out.  Kalil needs to be benched.  He's holding the entire offense back.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
