I agree with this. 

It’s like moving Captain from nickel to outside or Samuel’s from slot to the outside.  They were good players and frankly drafted to be a certain player.   Then some years because we neglected other spots we move them out of their ideal spots….and it just makes them lesser players. 

We just need to go get a LT.

Let Moton work at LT some in training camp, let him try it for the first couple of pre-season games. Unless he is playing at Pro Bowl (real Pro Bowl, not just popularity contest pro bowl) level, go back to RT with him. 

Moton is a fantastic RT, that is a known performance level. If he can't achieve that on the LT side, then you have to put him where he is absolutely the best. Then you put the best LT candidate you have on the left side and scheme to assist them whenever possible.

I would go all in on Moton to the left and Brady Christensen on the right side to develop him. He is 24 and a third round pick, and if he can hold down the right side, the future of our like looks very bright as we already have multiple players who can be a good guard and quality depth at tackle at that point (Erving as backup LT, Trent Scott as backup LT/RT)

If Brady develops into a good starter you have your ends set for the next 4+ years and very good young talent at G.

If Sewell had been there at our pick, we'd be talking about needing a big shutdown corner right now. I would rather get by with LT by committee and have Brady scheme around that for one season than to force our elite RT into a position where he'll be just okay. Make LT the priority this coming offseason. I still think we'll be pretty good this year, but we're still a year or two off from being a perennial contender, and that's okay with me. I'd rather be good for the long haul, and I think the way they're drafting and managing our FAs, we will be.

Left vs Right tackle is talk for the 90's and the Oughts. We just need two guys that can edge defend. We know Moton can, considering that in the "rote motor skill" dept, would Christensen be suited for the left since he's been playing there? LOL Bottom line is, we just need to find the other one. GOD I hope someone emerges with the pads on. COME ON BRADY. I'm pulling for you here

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
