We have been wasting mid round draft picks on guards who never pan out for how long? Any member here could provide a list as long as my arm. Yet our starters our always FA castaways from other teams. Stop wasting picks and invest a 1st rounder on a guard already.

Am I understanding you that Moses won't be back by week 9? Just wondering.

No he'll surely be back in action by week 9, in fact I haven't heard anything indicating that he won't be back by week 1.

But Lisfranc's are notorious for slow recoveries. It's not that they take forever to heal to the point where you can't get back on the field, it's that players take forever to regain their full capabilities. They take place at a spot in the foot that's crucial to pushing off with force. Some guys never get the same explosion back, others bounce back to their former selves as soon as they're healthy enough to be on the field. But most get back on the field and then have to work their way back gradually to regain their same explosiveness.

With a tackle you'd worry about his ability to anchor his foot in the ground and drive block somebody in the run game. It's typical to come back from it fully healed, but at only a % of what you used to be capable of. It takes time to get back to yourself.

Same with ACLs (unless your name is Adrian Peterson).

I'm done watching Chester play pitty pat hopefully. Anyone at RG would have to be better it would seem. Whoever can't beat out Chester at RG should be cut.

BTW I wouldn't expect a great deal from Moses. He's not starting at RT...he's not. We drafted a guy to do that. At best his foot is miraculously healed enough for him to compete and then maybe he miraculously changes his playing style to be more suited to G. That's two miracles all at once. Not buying it. He's a keep-around guy for development and insurance/depth at T at this point.

In fairness to S. Long , he was coming off of knee surgery . He also underwent an appendectomy last year just prior to the combine .

Ideally?

LT-Trent LG-Arie C-Kory RG-Spencer RT-Brandon

[KI Skins Fan]

How about trading for an established RT? Then,

LT - Trent, LG - Brandon, C - Kory, RG - Spencer, RT - New Guy

That would give us a Super Bad left side. Run left, young man, run left!

Stop it.

Who gives you a starting caliber RT in a trade? And how do you propose we fit said player under the cap.

This isn't Madden, GTFO with this crap.

You clearly just don't know. You think this is a mood for me?

Somebody explain to this dude.

[MTK]

Yeah people should probably pump the brakes on Moses. He's still got a lot of learning to do as well as coming off a significant injury. And if he moves to guard that's another learning curve as well.

KI meet Schneed. A little abrasive? Forthright yes. Knowledgeable? Definitely.

[Hog1]

BTW KI,
Schneed like many here, is who he is.
Over the top, demonstrative, intolerant, proponent of assholery? yes (lives to close to Philly not to be affected. Treat him like he's from NYC )
BUT, Total Skins fan, knowledgable, well spoken and sometimes amusing as well
It IS the WP......
