Raimann did a good job as soon as he got calmed down. He had a tough assignment. The announcers kept saying he was having a rough go, but I think he's going to be as good or better than any of the other options we have.

I don't know much about Dennis Kelley, but would like to see him get a few snaps at RT if Smith is still struggling. Getting your money's worth on $70M is probably always a good idea, but so is winning.

I think it's a horrible idea, but I bet we see Nelson play tackle at some point this year.

Pez, I agree about Raimann. I would prefer to keep Smith at RT and help him get back to what he used to be. He was to good and is being paid to much to give up on yet. I thought moving him inside, on a short week no less, was idiotic. I would take that bet on Nelson, mostly because I agree with you that it is a horrible idea. Apparently I have more faith in our coaches than you do which kinda mortifies me.

Reich said today Raimann is the starting left tackle going forward.

It'd be better than putting Pryor back at LT.

Reich explained the move. He's said that one of the two biggest issues for the team was running the ball. Particularly that failing to run early was leading to a lot of 2nd/3rd and longs where the D pins their ears back

Then he said Braden Smith is "elite" in run blocking and a natural RG from his college days. They also needed more of an inside pocket. So there's his justification.

For what it's worth... I didn't rewatch the whole game, but from what I saw, Smith might've been our best OL vs DEN. And while it wasn't amazing or anything, our #3/#4 RBs did run for over 100yds at 4.3ypc. Easily our best rushing game since Week 1.

I think this...

LT - Raimann
LG - Nelson
C - Pinter
RG - Fries
RT - Smith, spell with D. Kelly

I’m wondering is Dennis Kelly is still not healthy. They seem reluctant to put him out there. I think Pryor is gone from the starting lineup now. Not sure who will be at RG though.

Good write up here. So right now Ryan sits at 2.8 seconds per throw. I think that is deceiving. Matt Pryor and Smith BOTH rank in the top seven for blown blocks. Both on one team. That’s ridiculous. I think Ryan is having to change position after 1.5 seconds trying to extend the play and he then has to reaquire a target. What I’m seeing out there is very very little time to set and throw.
