Quietly, Larsen has started 15 games for us over the past 2 years.  While he is probably not a true C, I can see LG being the easiest position to play on the OL...Maybe he will do fine there.

Sirles also has 14 starts in the last 2 seasons, 4 at LG last year (10 at RT in 2016) and played LG in 14 games last season. Neither he nor Larsen are as good as Norwell, but it's not like we are high and dry at LG. I personally hope to see Moton compete for LT as well.

I'm really high on this lineup I'd like to see our Second round pick get a fair chance to compete we've seen what Kalil can do not giving his job away but let them battle for the spot. I'm confused wtf we drafted him in the second round that's suppose to be a impact player especially in year two not a back up to both tackles. If we had pro bowl level LT I could see him sitting but we all know what we're getting below average play. Let one of our 4 guards battle and the best player emerge.

However, Moton does not think the LT job is open (interview where he said he wanted to go for the LG job because it is open), and that makes me wonder about his competitive fire. All jobs are open if you are good enough. 

Good observation.

But perhaps Moton just recognizes Rivera's loyalty to vets and the reality of Matt Kalil's monster contract...

Hopefully his clarity re: the obstacles to his playing LT doesn't keep him from doing his utmost to earn a tackle slot.

Not sure that was a good observation. I don’t see it as a lack of fire as much as being respectful of the vets. LG is 100% open and RR has said it’s open. I don’t see it as Moton thinking he can’t be a starting tackle or not wanting to play hard to replace Kalil or Williams in 2019. Just because he isn’t saying he thinks he should replace speed bump doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to but that maybe he doesn’t want to do that through the press. 

Well said.

I hope you are right! My "good observation" comment was mostly meant to say that's an interesting idea, something to keep an eye on, but I agree with you that a comment to a reporter doesn't mean much. It's what he does on the field that matters.
