So, is Moton LT now?

[t96]

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.

I hope they give him first shot at LT. He performed the best there than anyone has in years and then Ron pulled a Ron and moved him back.

[YoungPanthers89]

Its not a strength quite yet lol still no depth and Paradis and Daryl are coming off major injuries and who knows which Trai Turner shows up next year

[LinvilleGorge]

Only if Matt Kalil gets the ax. If that happens, the last two days will have gone just about perfectly as far as I'm concerned. Now just give me a stopgap FS and chop Torrey Smith and use that space to add a legit edge rusher and I'll praise Hurney to the heavens high.

I trust him on an island more than Kalil.  

 

Thats said Kalil is an incredible downfield blocker for runs, I say move him to LG and keep Larsen as backup C.

[ChibCU]

Too early. Jinx is in.

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?

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

[The Huddler]

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

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.
