Yep, Morris is your LT next year and Taylor will stay on the right side. They are banking on Wanya taking that role. Financially, they need him to. [Reply]

Give him his shot. He played there his freshman and sophomore year in the SEC.
Financially it makes too much sense also [Reply]
Yeah, if you could get him to play a good solid LT, not elite, just be.....what a top 15ish LT in the league next year, you're just so far ahead financially. [Reply]

Donovan Smith is like 3rd in pressures given up and also has given up penalties. He hasn't been great by any means but looks much better compared to Orlando last year.
Doesn't feel like we need Wanya to be an ass kicker [Reply]

I'm honestly shocked Donovan has given up that many. Like you said, Brown must have really sucked shit because I feel like watching Smith is a drastic improvement. Wow. [Reply]

Yeah, I think you could get Smith level play from Wanya.
If so, it's gonna open them up to being able to pay Creed and maybe Smith although, I'm guessing they don't all get paid here.
But it definitely opens up money to go sign a weapon. [Reply]

I don't know that they'll put him on an island like that.
Feels like he's good for 2 every week even AFTER you get past the Jax debacle. I suspect that's not the case and a lot of it seems to have ironed out after the Jets game, but still - last couple weeks have shown some habits re-surfacing.
I think he's played pretty well, but those penalties are tough and at LT without much help from the TE (and oftentimes dealing with a Will that may/may not blitz) things are going to be harder still.
He's gotta clean stuff up before I think we could even consider that transition.
He had 10 penalties in the first 4 games (including 5 in JAX when he was a marked man), but has had only 5 in the last 7 games. I would say he's gone a long way to cleaning up his penalties and hopefully continues to do so. We prefer no penalties, but I'll take a penalty 5 times in 7 games to get his win rate. [Reply]
