Left vs Right (not politics, Moton)

[Tbe]

Regardless of where guys ‘start’, we need a solid backup plan for when injuries happen since our OL depth is pretty bad.

If Moton gets hurt, this line is fugged.

[Wolfcop]

We have a player who has played on both sides of the ball (offense/defense). It happens, though rarely. Regarding Moton, I think he is our best shot at having a strong LT. And, it does matter unless we are starting a left handed QB.

There will most definitely big a huge drop off. It looks like maybe Erving LT and Christensen RT for now…

[ForJimmy]

We actually have some sort of depth at least. Erving as a backup is definitely something I’d be ok with. Elf should be a solid guard/back up C.

Person had described the Moton to left tackle talk as "heating up" in the last day or two.

He got LT money so why is he not taking all LT snaps?  I'm curious to see how this plays out.  I'm betting he will be to the left of QB.

They are being smart and having a back up plan if no other LT stands out. It's all about having options. That's why they like versatile players. 

Good point.

I like the idea of Moton and Irving as the tackles for this season. I don't care who is left or right. 

You think they both are equal to both sides?

Moton is the best option at LT. He was great in his 3-4 game stretch.  Should have left him there a few seasons ago.

I can't disagree with that.

And Moton is a democrat who actually believes Covid19 is real, so he belongs on the left.  Christensen (a Mormon evangelical) sleeps on a "my pillow" so he is definitely on the right.

Jokes--I have no idea how they think about politics-dont care

You had me scared for a moment.

At least we have options:

LT: Irving, Scott, Little, Daley, Christensen, Moton

LG: Elflein, Daley, Christensen

Center: Paradis, Elflein, Moore

RG: Miller, Brown, Moore

RT: Moton, Christensen, Little, Scott

I see the strategy-it is the bus theory---put the right people on the bus sitting in the right seats.

But who sits in the left seats?  I’m so confused…

[Captain Morgan]

not feeling real good about starting a 3rd round rookie at RT.  But I'm ready for Moton to be full time LT.

[Scott12345]

If he can play LT at a high level and be just as good there as he was at RT this is a no brainer…if

Christensen needs to perform for this to work cause rhule is constantly talking about having the best collective out there on oline

Too early to tell. Could be bad, could be surprisingly good. I just know compared to some of the OLs we had under Rivera, our current crop looks like world-beaters.
