I saw this dude handling Micah Parsons 1-on-1 multiple times last night. I don't mean holding on for dear life, either. Dude stopped Parsons dead on multiple reps. He also got beat, but it wasn't anything like McFloppy getting launched into orbit.

Dude is improving as the season progresses and if it continues we're just fine at the position. I'm pleasantly surprised, and happy as hell I was probably wrong about him. I watched some of the Denver/NYJ game and McG looks even worse there than he did here. At least he's getting paid, I guess, but at this point in the season it looks like we've upgraded there, and saved $.

Ya man I've been pleasantly surprised in how well he has played.... guess Lynch knew what he was doing when he didnt draft a rookie or sign a FA tackle

Great point! Kudos also to Foerster for coaching him up and continuing to develop McKivitz! If he keeps improving, ShanaLynch may not need to draft a right tackle, but Left and interior depth next year. we shall see.

Still needs to draft a right, but they can wait until day 3 like the McKivitz pick and develop them. There isn't much behind Williams and McKivitz. Round 1- Trent replacement. Round 4/5- depth.

I think everyone, myself included, overreacted against watt. Newsflash: there aren't many tackles in the league period that are going to survive watt alone.

He has been pretty solid. I think most would agree he is mcglincheys equal overall and at a fraction of the cost (fyi I loved mcg as a run blocker)

We need a tackle for sure. But if there's an A center and a B- tackle in the draft... give me the center.

Brendel has been good this year, but an elite center would make this team invincible.

I think Foerster might be correct. He might be a better pass blocker than McGlinchey.

looks like Kolton Miller is the better long term tackle than McLurch, we missed on that one
