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

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
