Might have to make a trade

It's really looking this way....

I mean our tackle depth (or lack thereof) was already alarming even with Matt Kalil "healthy" and starting.  Moton at RT looking solid, but very green, of course.  But who's behind them?  We've been playing guards like Dorian Johnson at tackle in preseason games for goodness sake. 

Sirles?  Clausell? Could either of these start at tackle on either side?

I'd rather we keep Moton at RT where he's strong and try to somehow find a serviceable LT, even if it's a very costly trade.  We have too much potential this season to risk it all to a disaster due to our OT situation.

Yikes.

Do not like the sound of that.

Marty is itching to pull the trigger on sending him to IR.

Exactly.  It reeks of the staff saying "WTF DO WE DO NOW?!!"

 

And it explains Ron's obvious frustration during his interview yesterday when asked about Kalil.

Welp, the gamble on Matt has become a full blown dumpster fire. Man what a shame. Could injuries seriously have derailed him from a rookie pro bowler to this?

If Kalil can't go, we're probably looking at a year of Moton learning the left tackle position.  He can probably do it, but that could be a bumpy road.

If you wanna be optimistic, his succeeding there would set us up with a decent "bookend" situation if we can keep Williams on the right, but Williams is a free agent next year and was speculated to be something other than affordable, so...

This FO is still full of poo. Cut his useless ass and prepared to get torched in the air this year. We should have never have signed Poe. We need help elsewhere. 6-10.

People jumping off the cliff cause we might lose this guy...everyone's been hoping Rivera and Hurney would make a move to replace him anyways. Better to know now before the season and before teams cut rosters down. I'm not going to cry the sky is falling cause we lose 2 paper weights in him and Amini...They have time to make a move and adjust and it's not like the guy coming in is replacing a sure thing anyways. 

[Lemory]

I would honestly feel better about Moton at LT than Kalil. Sure, Moton would have to learn the position but he would at least slow people down instead of having guys blow right by him.

I knew this signing was going to be a dud from the beginning. Dude was hurt and sucked at Minnesota, why did anybody think it would be different over here? Because his brother is here? Yeah, this disaster could have been seen a mile away tbh Horrible contract by Gettleman

[The Huddler]

go trade a 2nd round pick for a decent LT

[Carl Spackler]

There are other teams who will let a tackle go in final cuts who is better than everyone we have. This just ramps up the urgency to sign whoever it is that’s available.
