Okay, usual disclaimer that we all love Andy Reid and what he's done for this team, but what in the actual **** has been going on in recent years at OT? How did Suamataia even get a starting job? How did they not realize that Morris was a far better fit at RT? They seriously couldn't have been that gung ho about it being Jawaan Taylors job when they were pretty open about the fact they thought he could work both sides of the OL.

Jay Glazer just said Jawaan has a mild knee sprain. Don’t think he’s gonna play on X mas with such a short timeline.

If Wanya continues looking solid at RT then I think you have to consider starting him there next year and telling Jawaan to get ready to play LT in 2025.

Great. Gives Suamataia another year in the lab so they can really evaluate what his future is on the team while Taylor plays his last year out at LT.

Relax bro I’m ****ing around. I don’t wish injury on anyone, contrary to some who seemed happy yesterday when Dell went down. But I do think Morris (inexplicably) looked better than Taylor so there’s that.

People underestimate how hard it is to switch sides for a guy who has done it one way for many years. Taylor would be included in that.

It’s like asking someone to go from right handed to left handed. All your movements go opposite and the muscle memory isn’t set up for that. Thankfully we have a 100-game starter at Left tackle coming back very soon, and Thuney is at least a left side guy.

I don't know about Taylor moving to LT but if Morris can take over at RT that'd be great. I don't know the implications of Taylor's contract but cutting him or even trading him sounds like a good idea to me. If we can get a good year out of Humphries in 2025 that would be great.

pugsnotdrugs19 12-22-2024 11:23 AM

But no matter how you slice it, it appears Wanya can be a legit RT for 2026 and maybe beyond. That would be fan-****ing-tastic for our roster build.

I don't wish injury on anyone but I agree with the second part. Taylor has not lived up to his $20 mil salary.

If we cut him this offseason it's a $35M dead cap hit according to Spotrac. He needs to play somewhere.

pugsnotdrugs19 12-22-2024 11:30 AM

I’d at least take a look at Taylor over at LT in OTAs. He’s got the athleticism. If he could pull it off, you’ve answered both tackle spots for next year without even adding a body yet.

Gary Cooper 12-22-2024 11:30 AM

So Wanya has to switch positions and block the best defensive player in the league? Not ideal. He looked decent yesterday but that was a handful of snaps against a different level of competition.

Sassy Squatch 12-22-2024 11:33 AM

Not like he was playing against chopped liver. Will Anderson Jr and Danielle Hunter are a very competent duo on the EDGE.

Ouch! Depends on how the other guys work out but trade him for a draft pick. 3rd rounder maybe?
