I mentioned this before but just watch a highlight reel for Burns. He’s making plays from both sides a lot. I couldn’t find snap breakdowns from each side but it wasn’t 90% on LT and 10% on right tackle, seemed like 60/40.

It's about matchups.  It will vary from game to game depending on the tackles they are facing.  These guys really do not have a designated side on defense.  The offensive lines are going to have to catch up on this an adapt. 

I think Rhule is attempting to does this but it's a gamble trying to find versatile tackles.  Going from tackle to guard is relatively easy for someone at that level but switching sides for a tackle takes reps and a lot of them.  It's not as easy as it sounds.

One other factor--what kind of rapport did he have with Miller? T/G communication is important--like knowing when to switch in man defense in basketball--and that could be the reason Moton STAYED at RT when he had the chance--so many variables.  I think we can agree on this: If he is going to switch, it will be now and not later.

IMO, this is the strongest argument for leaving Moton at RT.  In staffing, you only rarely take a high performing employee out of a well run business unit to fortify a struggling one.  In theory or on paper, the move makes sense but actual results almost always disappoint and you end up with suboptimal performance in both business units.  At least in business, this strategy fails more often than it succeeds.

I'm going to take a moment and say that $1 Mill/year incentive to be a PROBOWL LEFT TACKLE, doesn't mean he's going to play left tackle. He hasn't gotten probowl awards at right tackle, which is his natural position.  

I think if injuries force the issue, there is a chance they move to left and Christensen can play right. 

Don't hold your breath.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have always operated by the adage, "Aces in their Places".

DJ, Chinn,

Derek Brown (borderline/potentially)

 

Imma add Horn, cuz I like him. And of course Moton. Riddick is close, and Bouye has a shot. Those last two are stretches, but they are talented.

 

That's still a lot of paychecks down the line.

This isn't really naming elite players.  I see a lot of maybes and probablies - even in my own list!  Chinn has shown something but I'd like another season.  After that, none of the rest are elite and Horn hasn't seen the field.  But yeah I get you were being cute.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
