Can Dan Moore play guard??

[Ghost]

LOL. Ok, well, he's one of 32 starting LT's in the league. He's #1 on depth chart for a reason. He earned it. You should give a damn, but then again... whatever. You have no say in the matter anyway, only the team does.

And they thought Kendrick Green was a starting center. According to your logic that made him good. Hilarious. Keep blindly following bad decisions without looking at what actually is happening.

Windy. if you read this could you please tell us Moore's PFF grade so far this season and where they rank him among LTs?

thanks...

Green isn't starting. Is he? Hmmm. If we follow what you are saying, Moore wouldn't be starting now too. But 2 years later, he's still starting.

I seem to remember that Leonard Davis played several years of LT for the Cardinals (he was also one of the most penalized players) and it didn't work out. He then signed with the Cowboys who put him at RG... In that position he was a Prowbowler three years in a row and was very successful.

Move Dan Moore to LG (or try) and a LT in the first round of the draft and maybe we wouldn't have to spend two high picks in the draft (we have a lot of needs).

My big fear is that the coaching staff is comfortable with Dan Moore at LT, and we just try to improve LG position and everything stays the same at the blind side.

While I agree he sucks this season, I do remember he was ok last year. Anyone know what happened and why he regressed?

I think while he is still the same LT he's always been, the defenses he's facing have been upgraded with DEs, LBs that hit his weaknesses,...speed, power. Not a good sign for a guy this young to regress. And Pickett is in the pocket longer than BR.

My comments on his size were meant to emphasize how solid and imposing he would be at those other guard jobs. My opposition to him playing OG has nothing to do with his size.

Boom, shalckalacka boom.

Moore is the worst starting LT in the NFL, but that some how proves he's good? OK, there, hot shot.

Colbert (on the way out the last two years) made some terrible moves in assessing talent (green) and in the draft (not taking Humphries). There's just no way around it. And I've been a Colbert supporter over the years but his bargain basement shopping mode approach towards the offensive line the last few years has put us in this mess today.

It’s just your fear and a few others. I’m perfectly fine with him staying at LT. I seem to remember people on here or maybe another board way back, complained about Max Starks, and look how he turned out.

”Mess”. Equals your perspective. Not all. Certainly not the coaching staff. Green may end up a starting G at some point. Who knows? Too early to tell.

AND, wouldn’t this pick as it is now, put it under the category of all picks are a crap shoot and you never know what you are gonna get. Reminded by all those who want to steelers to tank the rest of the season in order to get better picks. JUST LAUGHABLE TOO.

LOL, Worst? LOL. You guys crack me up. No wonder why I’ve wondered off this website. Same chat in 2022 than it was in 2015.

Post-Gazette - Ray Fittipaldo's post game grades: Priority No. 1 in the 2023 draft: a left tackle. It’s hard to believe the Steelers plan to keep Dan Moore Jr. as the starter beyond this season. He’s a penalty machine and doesn’t have the technique to succeed as a blindside protector. He was flagged again for holding and gave up another sack.

A 3rd round pick still not even dressing deep into his 2nd year....and you think he's likely gonna "come on strong" later? Yea, right. He didn't JUST not make the starting line up, he's so bad he doesn't even dress for game days. But you think it's too early to evaluate his "progress?"

It was a Colbert FAIL pick, regardless of how braggadocios he was after he made the pick in attempt to switch his position to center.

The good and bad thing about the OL is that they are all under contract for a while.

I think that means that the team might (again) prioritize other positions with holes for no one to fill (e.g. ILB - Bush is out, CB - Sutton, SS).

But if we pick early enough, I think LT has to be a very serious consideration. Get the best player at the position of highest value. I think we have a lot of needs to fill in the next few years. So need shouldn't be much of a factor.
