Quietly, Larsen has started 15 games for us over the past 2 years.  While he is probably not a true C, I can see LG being the easiest position to play on the OL...Maybe he will do fine there.

Sirles also has 14 starts in the last 2 seasons, 4 at LG last year (10 at RT in 2016) and played LG in 14 games last season. Neither he nor Larsen are as good as Norwell, but it's not like we are high and dry at LG. I personally hope to see Moton compete for LT as well.

I'm really high on this lineup I'd like to see our Second round pick get a fair chance to compete we've seen what Kalil can do not giving his job away but let them battle for the spot. I'm confused wtf we drafted him in the second round that's suppose to be a impact player especially in year two not a back up to both tackles. If we had pro bowl level LT I could see him sitting but we all know what we're getting below average play. Let one of our 4 guards battle and the best player emerge.

However, Moton does not think the LT job is open (interview where he said he wanted to go for the LG job because it is open), and that makes me wonder about his competitive fire. All jobs are open if you are good enough. 

Good observation.

But perhaps Moton just recognizes Rivera's loyalty to vets and the reality of Matt Kalil's monster contract...

Hopefully his clarity re: the obstacles to his playing LT doesn't keep him from doing his utmost to earn a tackle slot.

Not sure that was a good observation. I don’t see it as a lack of fire as much as being respectful of the vets. LG is 100% open and RR has said it’s open. I don’t see it as Moton thinking he can’t be a starting tackle or not wanting to play hard to replace Kalil or Williams in 2019. Just because he isn’t saying he thinks he should replace speed bump doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to but that maybe he doesn’t want to do that through the press. 

Well said.

I hope you are right! My "good observation" comment was mostly meant to say that's an interesting idea, something to keep an eye on, but I agree with you that a comment to a reporter doesn't mean much. It's what he does on the field that matters.

    • I agree but he honestly has gotten better about this. Used to be he’d do it like 4-5 times a game, now it’s like 2-3. Overall I’m incredibly happy with his game, his D has been solid and when he is playing his role he’s a solid scorer and one of the few guys who can consistently finish at the rim and provide that threat. Plus he’s electric and LaMelo loves him. Going into the season I was sure he would just be a stop gap here but now I’m reconsidering and could see him continue to be a “core” piece here. Obviously not on the level of the other starters but he is an important cog for this team. We felt his missed presence during his and Moose’s suspensions.
    • Philly will be a bigger challenge than the Knicks were IMO. George and Embiid are back, not sure about Maxey but Embiid alone is a nightmare matchup for us and Moose. We’ve never really done well against him. Celtics added Tatum but honestly not sure they’re all that much better with him right now than they were when we whooped them a few weeks ago. We should be able to at the very least split these 2, hopefully take both.
