I said his first bad game we'd have people demanding we call all the shitty vet LTs who aren't going to be an improvement.
And what do you know.
What's the solution? Honestly... deal with it. Let him learn. He's not going to get better on the bench.
Stay the course. If he's still THIS bad late in the season, then MAYBE you start thinking about other options.
I agree.
The bright side is that we’ve found ways to win despite his struggles.
If Andy leaves him in there (yes, I know he made a change late but he did that same thing at one time with Jawaan Taylor), then I’ll trust he’s making strides. [Reply]

And even then, one of the best LTs out there is Andrew Thomas, who had games in his rookie year that were just as bad as the game Kingsley played today. What happens if we somehow implode, get a high draft pick, and take the best LT in the draft, and he also has a bad game?
People aren't being patient or smart about this. And I'd bet next week you see Kingsley right back out there in the starting lineup. [Reply]

Unless you draft Joe Thomas, your rookie LT is going to struggle. [Reply]

Kid got pretty much vivisected tonight and I don't think Morris is any better.
Pretty much a mirror of the Morris experiment. Some slightly competent-ish play followed by a game that the LT singularly (almost) lost by himself. [Reply]

Not sure how you're so conservative to kick a FG from the 1 yard line yet leave your LT on an island against an all pro crashing down on a generational QB
Not sure Smith is the solve all but what happened today shouldn't happen again
Yeah I didn’t get that- get the kid some help [Reply]
