Rivera says he's sticking with Chandler

[Ruff]

Surprising given reports that Scott was getting healthy.

We discussed a while back how player evaluation and roster management are Rivera's biggest weaknesses as a coach. Unfortunately that doesn't look to have improved :(

 

I feel the same way.

 

I thought, for sure, that with Scott getting healthy he would be an immediate plug in. Apparently not.

 

Rivera seems to like "his guys" (people he sees that may not be the best players, but give it the ol' college try) and not who would be best suited to win us games.

[Kurb]

Chandler has been not awful at RG.

There just not going to make that big of a switch this late in the season unless someone gets injured. Chandler will only move to RT if Bell gets hurt, its just too big of a switch for this point in the season. Should it be done after the season.....definitely, they need to upgrade Bell in the worst of ways. 

[Chaos]

Chandler has been not awful at RG. 

 

Agreed.  I mean, why is Rivera even addressing the RG spot, is it because of the possible return of Chris Scott?

 

Either way, I would prefer a comment from the coach on Byron Bell's status - he's been abused far too often.

[PhillyB]

scott is pretty terrible IMO

Fwiw, the run blocking in the Saints game wasn't that bad.  The backs had some decent holes to run through, we just got to far behind to utilize the run game.

Chandler has been not awful at RG. 

 

Considering he has never played the position, he has done well.

[fieryprophet]

How anyone is complaining about which of our mediocre right guards or tackles will play is beyond me. Would be just shuffling around for kicks at this point.

[MadHatter]

Someone help me out......are we praising the coaching staff or do we think they are morons and should be fired? 

 

I can't remember which we are supposed to be this week on the Huddle.   We flip flop so many times.

[pantherclaw]

I am very curious how the offensive line would look if Chandler and Bell swapped spots.

or scott at rg and Chandler at rt.

[Ruff]

I don't think we want Chandler at RT... I bet a DE would blow by him in a heartbeat.

 

which wouldn't be any different than if Bell played there.

[micnificent28]

Bell's slow feet would be much better suited at guard.

[jayflip]

They tried Bell at RG last season. Most just don't remember via repressed memories...as often the case with severe abuse.

[rayzor]

Bell's slow feet would be much better suited on the bench or another team.
