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.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
