Orlando Brown and the shell of Donovan Smith.

Msybe so. But IMO, this team should be much further along than having to wait on a rookie LT to develop under fire.

This is the same thing Mitchell Schwartz said about him, too.

I'd honestly like to Wanya Morris get a shot.

Were we that far along when we drafted and started a rookie center and right guard? IMO it’s the nature of the beast. The more successful a team is, the harder it becomes to field solid veterans if you want to be successful. Our ability to select and utilize young players, along with their young mistakes, is what’s kept us competitive as long as we have.

Very tue, but when said young player is in over his head, you need to take note of it before it destroys his confidence, and in this case, gets #15 hurt.

Very good analysis.

He did. Not an ideal shot but 6 games last year. Kingsly has much more physical talent and much more upside.

He is what we thought he was - high upside and raw. That's fine, we got one helluva' O line coach to bring him along. He'll be really good. And he's actually got the upside to run and pass block well instead of being a one dimensional injury magnet like our last LT.

Morris is starting tonight. But this is not an,"I told you so," on my part, this is more like your take is correct, in that Morris is another young developing LT, with a bit more experience, that they're throwing out there. I think we'll see Suamataia out there again at some point, as he has more upside.
