So, is Moton LT now?

Don’t really see what else we would do. He looked great there in his brief time and seems to fit there better than Williams would, and Williams was elite on the right side in 2017. Either way it’s 100% clear that Kalil won’t be starting. He may still be kept because we don’t save much to cut him and he’s not bad depth, although I’d prefer we just cut ties now and move on.

 

OL is looking like a serious position of strength now:

LT Moton

LG Van Roten/Larsen/Mahon

C Paradis

RG Turner

RT Williams

 

LG is the only weak link and even those three aren’t terrible, closer to average. Has Cam had a better OL on paper heading into a season ever? If his shoulder holds up the potential of this offense is unbelievable.

Yes. Even Ron isn't that dumb. It takes him a while to insert the rookie, but Moton proved to be much better than speed bump even in only his 3 or so weeks of preseason/regular season at LT. It wasn't close.

I am just waiting for the hammer to drop on Kalil so we can move on and draft at least one tackle for depth and maybe 2.

When is that deadline on Kalil? Isn't it today?

I don't know, those three look pretty terrible. Van Roten was about as bad as Clark was the 2nd half of the season and hope he is not starting there next season.

Yes

He has the measurables and athletic ability.

He has played there and started (limited time but some) and looked good there.

Time to just start grooking him there 

 

RTs are easier to replace. 

Take the bird in hand who showed promise and groom him vs some unknown college guy.  Then find your RT in next years draft as its easier to find RTs

Yeah that's what I was wondering if it was tomorrow or friday. If not he will be on the team this year and that sucks 

You already know that MK will start and until he gets injured nobody will take his place if he isn't gone and is staying with us. RR seriously needs to take a hard look and hopefully sees this as a disaster if he puts MK in.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
