Depth is important, but you want your best offensive linemen starting, particularly when the alternative is to have a sieve playing at RT every game. I'd rather have Herb start at RT and deal with an injury when it occurs, even if it means having McIntosh as the backup LT.

I guess I'm confused your saying it's a good idea to start mcintosh cause it was obvious albert was going to hyperextend his elbow? Lets reverse thought what if mcintosh got hurt and taylor had to play RT...wait that never happens

You start your best guys you don't put your 2nd best OT as your backup LT.

I was saying this same stuff earlier about Taylor. It's a unique situation because they had a right to be cautious with Albert. It's clear the team wanted to keep Taylor at LT because he hasn't been working on the right side. They must have had this scenario in mind and it ended up coming to pass. Now they've got a guy who can come right in without much of a dropoff, hopefully. It ended up being a good move. |

McIntosh isn't that bad of a LT and is a better one than he is RT... even now I would rather McIntosh be the LT and Taylor be the RT.

If Herb can play RT, why not have him be the starter there and make McIntosh Albert's backup? He was better at LT than he is at RT anyway.

Two reasons to start Taylor at RT:
1. You put your best players on the field 2. You put your players in the position where they are their best Taylor is the best RT and second best OT on the roster. McIntoad is much better at LT than RT. Thus, both requirements are met. Additional reasons: 1. McIntoads bad knee he is better at backup where there is less daily wear 2. Now is the time to develop the young linemen not after the rebuilding is complete 3. There is no reason to develop a 31 year old tackle It makes no sense to me why McIntoad is the starting RT. |

McIntosh was alright playing LT when he was healthy.
He completely sucks making the transition to RT though. Taylor would be a helluva upgrade over McIntosh at RT.......you put your best lineman on the field. Taylor is our teams 2nd best (maybe first as of now, but Albert will be the best given time) OT.....he needs to start. More pass protection means more passing plays downfield which means more of an opened up running game which means more points.....etc. Albert, Waters, Niswanger, Richarson, Taylor is what I would love to have. NO ONE would be pushing Richardson off the line........I'd bet my house on that.

Do they need a vet next to Jones
asking the Herb to learn next to Jones may ruin him |
