Potential for Spenser Brown move? (to LT?)

[hemma]

I agree with Big Blitz and Pags24 …… Ford had a decent game, bordering on good.

Only ungood play I saw was when he didn’t help Williams quickly enough because Williams was immediately beat to the outside off the snap.

 

That is 2 pretty decent games in a row.  Wonder what they do going forward when all are available.

Feliciano … meh.

It's a better explanation that he just regressed for no reason.

How about the reason of he came into OTAs fat & sloppy and was rumored to be spending more time running with Bennie the Butcher and the Buffalo Kids than watching film?

The constants during Dion’s average years at LT is poor guard play at LG, 2018 and this year. When guard play has been solid Dion has been good, 2017, 2019, 2020. 

Boettger is terrible and not helping but Dion is getting beat one on one by his man. Call it covid or regressing,  I don't know? I just know I don't ever want Williams at RT.  Maybe Spencer could do it?  They be many OL guys either drafted or acquired this offseason. So I'm sure we're going to see big changes. Right now the only lineman I trust are Morse & Brown.

Spencer Brown is a RT always has been. Wont be the best idea to move him. Now im all for Drafting his college teamate that acually plays LT starting him at guard until he is ready.

Granderson appeared to have a very good game against Dawkins. The play where Dawkins grabbed the back of his jersey when totally beaten was embarrassing.

 

Dawkins was playing against a backup instead of Davenport. Can only assume that Dawkins would have fared even worse against him.

 

Having an out of form LT is troubling going forward.

 

What are the negatives in giving Brown a shot at LT?

I saw Granderson and Allen exchanging jerseys after the game....college teammates.

Boet got three guys on Breide's TD run....look again if you missed.  Even got a call out from Breeze

I have actually been sort of envisioning a bizarre scenario where eventually Dawkins gets bounced inside down the road and you just have 2 monster Guards in Dawkins and Williams. Then playing Brown at one of the tackles and a player to be named later as the opposite tackle. No idea why. I just keep thinking about it. Super physical and just hammering people

We are paying Dawkins $12M-$13M/yr and paying Williams $10M/yr.

 

Your dream is paying $23M/yr on guards who are actually tackles?

This is a wild thought, but maybe we keep our franchise Left Tackle at Left Tackle and keep our solid rookie Right Tackle at Right Tackle?

 

Dawkins is having a bad year, but he had a very bad case of covid and has absolute garbage at Guard next to him.

 

Do we really think he sucks all of a sudden? Like he went from being above average for several years to sucking so bad that we have to change his position?

 

Stop it.

I actually think the whole line played pretty well in the second half including Dawkins. Establishing the run makes a big difference and the running backs contributed to that last night.

Aren't we basically doing this now on the right side? Why couldn't we do it on the left?🤔. 

[In Summary]

1. Dawkins has 10 days between games to rest and get refocussed. 
2. Rookies don't get moved to LT for New England.

There was still plenty of time between OTAs and the season to get into shape, but COVID intervened.  And a rumor?

Trevor Penning, 6'7 340 great athlete just like brown. But his natural spot is on the left side. He may be a first rounder. But i think we can get him at the end of the first. Our oline instantly becomes a strong point!

[doubledd67]

Dawkins sucks at LT

[John from Riverside]

Not this year......and frankly not any year would be best.   Brown looks outstanding as a ORT

[Mat68]

Brown looks like the best pass blocker on the roster.  His athleticism makes him pop off the screen to be fair.  He is very tough to get around.  Imo he looks like a young Joe Thomas.  Not the player but body type and movement ability look very similar.  In todays NFL not much different from RE to LE so having him play LT or RT doesnt matter.

I like it a lot! We would have 2 tackles on rookie deals where we could overpay if need be to strengthen the interior. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do if need be.

More power

[Stenbar]

Should have never let Jason Peters want out. He would still be our starter LOL

It would probably only be for a year. You gotta do what ya gotta do man.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

I advocated for this switch a couple weeks ago. I still think it could work.

That said I think this is slow COVID recovery and having to play on Thursday He will have 11 days to recover for MNF and will be better

Because Brown cannot play both RT and LT
