He's worse in every way but the biggest drop-off by far is as a run blocker. I still don't understand why there was this air of inevitability with him being treated as the starter in waiting and why there wasn't more of a competition.

When I heard Foerster say he pulled aside both he and Burford and awarded them starting positions and told them not to look over their shoulders and Kyle talking about not wanting to stack OL talent b/c those picks could go elsewhere instead, I knew we'd be f**ked...again.

All I've ever wanted is our QB to have the best shot to reach their ceiling. Whatever ceiling that is.

Its a weird double standard. People are ready to proclaim Drake Jackson and Danny Gray busts, but the team continues to put talent in front of those guys. Burford and McKivitz on the other hand were just handed jobs. No one to compete with, nothing to fight for.

That's been a real concern of mine for quite a while. Nobody to challenge dudes like Tomlinson, Garland, Brendel, Brunskill, Person, McGlinchey, McKivitz and Burford.

Competition and stacking talent is never a bad thing. The FO is great on that at other positions for sure. But with OL and Secondary, not so much so we are forced to keep rearranging the deck on the Titanic and injuries = immediate losses.

Maybe this is the off season ShanaLynch change their team building strategy now that they've addressed their primary positions and have got them to (their) standard: QB, DL, LB, TE, RB, FB, WR, S, ST.

Jon Feliciano finished with an overall grade of 81.7, 81.2 pass blocking grade, and a 76.7 run blocking grade, per PFF. Feliciano was dinged for a hurry and pressure.

Trent Williams and Colton McKivitz tied with four pressures allowed on Sunday.

Future starting RG. Get well soon Aaron Banks.

These dudes are stubborn. don't be surprised to see Burford still being blown up when Banks is back. Plus let's use some caution on guys having one great performance. It was just a few weeks ago when ppl wanted Moore to take over at RT. Then in his 2nd game the dude got destroyed.

I get what you're saying, but I mean who competed with Wirfs in TB? Slater in LC. Any of NY's OTs or the countless OL drafted and started early?

colton has been competing since he got here. I'm with you in that we should be stacking up OL every draft and developing. I don't think the guys who are currently starting we're just given the starting gig though.

I kinda disagree. I mean Burford was splitting reps with brunskill all last yr. I wouldn't be shocked if they started doing that.

Kyle did note too that they were looking to get Feliciano more reps before Banks got hurt. So I'm guessing that target was for RG.

They had Burford splitting last year so this isn't a stretch.
