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

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
