Mike Remmers will start at left tackle in the Superbowl.

This likely means Remmers gets the start at LT. 

 

Yikes.

You know, for all of the Huddle expertise in evaluating players, Remmers has had a long career and will very likely be getting a Super Bowl ring in two weeks. Also, I'd imagine that he will remain at RT (where he's spent the better years of his career). 

Maybe our group mind isn't as smart as we think it is.

Or maybe having an elite QB, Elite TE, and Elite Receiver makes is much easier to get the ball out before a sack can happen. 

 

Some of his throws yesterday happened within one second of the snap. It is ridiculous.

It's a damn good thing they have Andy Reid and Eric Bieniemy instead of Ron Rivera and Mike Shula. The OL is gonna be a liability but they know it and they'll try to game plan around it instead of changing literally nothing and hoping for the best.

People still blame Remmers for that game and they are STILL WRONG.

It was very (*&$@ing clear from very early on that we needed to give help on Von Miller.  Our OC chose to not give help . . . at all.  Instead of placing the blame where it belonged, on our staff, we chose to blame Remmers.  Sometimes players just have an amazing game and you need to adjust for it.  We didn't.

Remmers has enjoyed a solid career since leaving us with the Vikings, Giants and Chiefs.  The guy is now rostered and likely to play in his second SB.  He's already started 12 games for the Chiefs this year.  I expect he's going to get a ring this time.  Andy Reid is far from Mike Shula.

this already has the Peyton Manning rigged fake final SuperBowl vibe thing going for it....

Probably safe to bet your life savings on Tom Brady.

I blame the coaches and the refs.    Refs mainly.  Lot of the biggest Von Miller plays that won that game featured blows to the head, illegal bats of the ball, etc.

They also scheme smartly to make best use of their line. Mahomes has a quick release and is very mobile. He rolls out often to the right side (and the run game often works to the right) and this allows Remmers to keep his man in front of him and just maul the guy rather than kick-step and pass block. That's smart and moving him to LT just because he has experience isn't a good plan, as we learned the hard way. Of course, he's blocking for Mahomes rather than Cam and that is to Remmers' advantage as well.

Packers were starting backup tackles against Shaq Barrett and JPP and it didn’t end well. Mahomes is a magician and gets rid of the ball extremely fast. Excited to see how that plays out.

Mahomes is a golden child as well

Yep. Remmers is a solid player who had a glaring weakness against speed rushers. Vic Beasley exposed it in the second to last game in the regular season. Why Rivera and Shula thought he'd fare any better against Von Miller is nothing short of baffling.

This is exactly what I was going to post

I mean he is.   But not really if you stack him up to Tom Brady.   Like Peyton....it just doesn't seem like you can stop the predictable conclusion. 

Oh, look, Mahomes has turf toe.  Loses his LT.   About to play the best front in the NFL.   Everything setting up for Brady.
