What’s your solution to the tackle situation?

Obviously there isn’t an abundance of tackles just sitting at home right now waiting for a call. At this point if you’re willing to play and you’re listed as a tackle you have a job. 

So with that in mind what is your solution? 

The Raiders were asking Penn to restructure and have since moved him to right tackle after drafting Kolten Miller in the 1st. Penn is said to be willing to play RT so the Raiders may not even be willing to trade him anymore but I think you have to at least make a call. 

The Panthers did this to themselves when they signed Kalil expecting something different, anyone who was willing to view the signing for what it was saw this coming a mile away. So if it costs you a 2nd rounder to find a replacement so be it. Moton can play the other tackle spot so we just need to find one tackle... but who!?!?

And Ben McAdoo was recently quoted saying Ereck Flowers can’t play either tackle position because he can’t bend. Flowers has been awful but before you throw his name out there I figured I’d add that.

There really isnt a Tackle out there that we could get without overspending (draft picks especially). Tackles are a hot commodity in the NFL which is why they are throwing around ridiculous contracts at starting caliber LT and RT. I think our best bet right now is to stick with Moton at LT until Kalil is healed up and find a guy after the first round of cuts.

I have no idea. I think the most likely solution is shopping the waiver wire after final roster cuts. The reality though is that good OTs are few and far between and the odds of a decent one being available on the FA market or via trade are pretty slim. Our best case scenario is that Moton plays well at RT and Williams can return soon.

Really the only significant injury to the line is Daryl Williams. Amini and Matt didn't make a difference since they are so bad. If anything, we've improved since those two are down. 

I can somewhat buy the "addition by subtraction" line of reasoning but now we are in dangerous territory as far as depth. That is the biggest concern. And, if we thought Kalil and Amini were starting caliber....what does that say about our existing depth quality? Yikes.

It means Rivera can't evaluate for poo on the offensive side of the ball

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
