We discussed something like this a while back, but I'm revisiting it with a "knowing what we know now" look.

Regarding the current state of the O-Line, would you rather...

- Try Taylor Moton on the left and Brady Christensen or Trent Scott on the right

- Keep Moton on the right and try Brady Christensen on the left

- Keep Moton on the right, put Christensen inside and try to find our franchise left tackle in the offseason

Which of those sounds best to you?

FYI: For what it's worth, our buddy Ellis has stated this:

To be clear, this is not based on any kind of inside info, just an observation.

State your case. If it were up to you, what direction are you going?

I would try him at RG. He looked better there during preseason. Not quite so good at LG in cameo when Elfein went down, but he may be a better option than Daley with some game experience. Cam Erving is who he is at this point; our bigger issue is the interior. I’d rather keep Moton @ RT where he excels and shore up the problem areas inside than put the whole unit in flux.

I dont out a lot of stock in PFF, but just as I suggested after the loss, Erving and Miller have to go, and it just so happens they both graded out as our worst OLinemen.

I think, just as with Whitehead last year, Rhule was giving them the chance to secure the job with the their play.  They haven't, and now it's time to give the younger guys a chance, just as he did with Carter last season.  I think we definitely see at least 1 of them benched this week and possibly both.  There might be some early growing pains, but it can only go up from here.

I just can't say how I'd rejigger the line right now, simply because I don't know what the coaches know at the moment. I do know what I've seen and it definitely needs to get better.

And the coaches have seen that, too. There's no way they've missed it.

But they haven't sent Christensen or Brady out there, no matter how much handwringing the fanbase has gone through. There must be a reason. And that might be that they are honestly sending their best five potential blockers out there, sad as that might be.

Offensive Line is banged up right now. They could easily change up the starters and no one would say much. 

 

Also, Matt Rhule said the offensive line would be playing "based on availability" so that sounds like something is up.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.

      Bucs get bad news

      I think it's because we've had a player to hate on NO (Breese) and Atl (Ryan) while Tampa had Winston who was never really a threat or dislikable like the other 2

      yeah. it was also reported that Brown was taking it light today because of oblique soreness. Sounds like the 2 of them were a bit too rough with each other for practice.
