Gman: ...we're going to attack the issue [of LT]

[stirs]

Wish big Daryl could move to left side and we could draft Moton for the right

Reiff is a good RT but an average at best LT.

Seahawks board saying Remmers would be an upgrade at RT. They must be hurting bad.

The #1 reason I am high on him is because he stays healthy... there should be no higher priority at LT for us... maybe no higher priority on the team.

He is a young, nfl proven LT... proven to be average to above average... but would anyone argue he is a downgrade from Oher. If it takes 13M/yr to get him... worth it.

Unfortunately, he's probably going to get an elite OT contract simply because the FA market is trash and the draft class looks weak at OT. He's not worth that.

According to Pro Football Focus, Reiff ranked 48th out of 81 qualifying tackles in the league, which sound about right for Reiff. His play was definitely around average.

Says he started off well but faded 2nd half. If Rieff does get somewhere between 6-8 as predicted on Roto I just don't see how he's worth it.

A real LT lol. You do realize sometimes teams want 2 good tackles right? Decker was just best suited on the left side and since you can only have 1 LT playing on the field, Riley was moved to RT.

Who's this 2nd good tackle? I'm dying to know

2016 they moved him to RT after the line (and Reiff) struggled in 15. Prior to that, he was an above average LT... never a superstar, but servicable.

I would mich rather have a servicable LT who is there 16 games, than a stud who is there 8-12 games.

And either is better than a prospect who has not proven anything in the League... and could come with their own injury concerns.

13M... thats the number.

Reiff was never an above average LT. That's why a rookie came in and immediately took over at LT. Not just in the season, but literally from day one. They started their offseason preparation with him taking every snap at 1st team LT.

This right here basically sums up Rieff's inability to play LT

[Ace_Aladdin]

Like I said he heard a ear full from JR, looking forward to FA & Draft we are going to make the smart investments.

Prior to 2015 (summing up performance of 2014 and prior)
