You still want good tackles. If they get pushed in instead of re-routing, that won't work. But you've got the right idea. You just need guys to adequately get in the way most of the time.

I don't know that he has the overall athleticism you'd like to have there, but he could probably do it.

The only real criticism is that he was injured and hasn't played LT since high school so his footwork would have to be changed/improved. He has the physical tools, just not the reps. |

Yes, maybe Reid is adapting. I didn't expect a guard to be paid that much either..it does look like a change.
I always thought with the modern, spread offenses like KC the best way to defeat them is up the middle. You want to create pressure up the middle, attack directly because otherwise you get stretched too thin horizontally by Reid's scheme and then it also breaks vertically. Not only that, look at our QB! When you have a guy with his vision and mobility just make sure he has a pocket and he can slip out if a tackle breaks down or step up into the pocket. Then you add the advantage of running the ball better to punish the teams overplaying the pass. There's a lot that can happen with this but you have to think there is larger plan in place. |

I'll say this-
I feel a lot better about inexperienced tackles playing next to Thuney and Long than Alegretti and Wylie. You're not going to beat Thuney often, or Long if he's healthy. The OT's just have to not get beat inside and ride their guys out wide and deep. It simplifies things quite a bit. |

Did he go to Baylor? I thought he went to TCU?

How many times did we see Fisher get beat inside? That happens when the guy next to you isn't very good. |

He started next to Incognito and had a very strong rookie year. Then Incognito left and his play dropped a bit before coming back. It absolutely is important who you are playing next to. Top guards cover up mistakes. Even from their tackles. |
