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.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
