So... Any Starting Caliber LTs Available in FA or via Trade?

I sincerely hope that he's being horrifically hazed just outside of the camera shot.

Ryan has to be so fuging embarrassed. You know he lobbied to get Matt here.

I was thinking the same thing...  not even how much Matt should feel ashamed for his performance, but for how horrible Ryan has to feel that his brother is far and away the worst investment on this roster and is getting our future HOF'er and franchise QB pummeled.

Ryan has the thousand yard stare going in that pic above.  He knows. Weird feeling as well knowing you may have kept yourself from one last SB run because you convinced your team to sign your idiot younger brother.

We need a whole team with the way the injury bug has bitten us

I seriously don't know why teams don't do it more. Some cap issues could present themselves, but right now, I'd send our 3rd rounder (getting one back for Norwell) and M. Kalil to a team for an AVERAGE LT. 

Bro Id float the 2nd for Donald Penn, He is solid.

Need to try Moton at LT with Sirles at RT

Starting caliber? Debatable right now.  Old better LT likely could get cut any day now...

but hell, a backup caliber LT could be an improvement

Throw in Frazier and the Cowboys might go for it.

we can pray a decent tackle gets cut, but honestly I don't think a trade is a realistic option. the most realistic option is to use our first rounder on a tackle prospect next year. 

Best case scenario, Moton balls out this year and ends up moving to LT next season. Williams returns at RT. Maybe, just maybe the answer really is on the roster this time.

Isn’t Donald Penn 35 older than Ryan how can he be a long term alternative?

[Verge]

Seems like a bit of an overreaction from a preseason game going against an all pro pass rusher.

I never wanted Matt and was very vocal about him being a significant downgrade from Oher...  but, i was hoping we could work around him...  it is clear, we can't and i don't want him getting Cam hurt.  I want him out of there ASAP.  As you said, I'm convinced there is a backup LT out there somewhere that is significantly better than Kalil right now.

 

Most people here tbought Oher was garbage as well. I suppose that's what happens when you had Gross since 2003.

Matt should improve as the season goes on. He was matched up on one of the premier pass rushers in the game today. There aren't many left tackles that wouldn't struggle against Quinn with no game planning while their running stunts.

I see very little substance in this thread. Apparently the hyperbole used in media has reached this board. Film review should provide further insight but it looked like they were stunting the leftside of the line. Game planning can fix those problems.

This game notwithstanding, I have a hunch that the organization is praying that Moton excels on the right side this year so next offseason they can cut Kalil and try him at LT. That's a long way off but it'd solve a lot of problems.
