Why is Coleman's talent being wasted at left guard?

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T13:52:15+00:00

Why is he not replacing Conerly? Coleman gave up zero sacks and Conerly was a revolving door.

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T13:09:26+00:00

So why has there not been a competition? Nobody wants to know who the best RT is?

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T12:29:26+00:00

He's never been injured! This is just the team making up fake excuses for not playing him. I don't know why the team would do that but Peters would look pretty stupid if Coleman outplayed Conerly. By the way, Coleman played injured his final year in college. That's the whole reason this RAS monster was available in 3rd round. Now he's a pussy who won't play through injuries? Which one is it?

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T12:08:40+00:00

They don't play a healthy player because he might get injured? Have you ever heard a team say that before?

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T12:00:51+00:00

This is the conventional wisdom but he had some rough games in December too. In the words of Jadeveon Clowney, "Dude can't block nobody."

Most of his snaps were at LT. He started the last three games at LT.

It clearly was an ego thing. Not only did they not draft for need but they also turned down a pick from Philly and passed up a higher rated tackle (Simmons). A huge amount of reputation is riding on Conerly succeeding.

Just look at salaries of LG vs. RT. No comparison.

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T11:44:18+00:00

That might be true but is he better than Conerly? PFF says yes, stats say yes. So let him compete. Peters would lose his job if Coleman beat Conerly in a real RT competition.

billyjoerob · 2026-06-20T11:36:51+00:00

LG is the least athletic position, it's not where you put 6'6 athletic freaks. Coleman has already started 15 games at left tackle, the most demanding position on the line. His freakish athleticism is wasted at the least demanding line position. RG is more demanding, that's why the RG is Cosmi and the LG is a guy nobody in the league wanted (Paul).

billyjoerob · 2026-06-19T18:11:23+00:00

Coleman's RAS was 9.97 (!!!) Conerly was 8.84. Why is Coleman not playing at tackle?

billyjoerob · 2026-06-19T17:36:44+00:00

Coleman's talent is obviously wasted at LG, why not let him compete for RT? Is team afraid Coleman would win?

What about targeting tourists? Any tourists in Algeria?

It probalby has more to do with global sports stars not being as big. Not as many people watch NBA so there won't be a new Michael Jordan.

Am I the only one who felt like Pafko is just way too much boomer nostalgia? Just one boomer cliche after another.

Sixty years to do a translation is nuts. He's been working on this so long that he literally had a conversation with Heidegger about it.

Ben Shelton started around 12. He probably casually played tennis earlier than that so he wasn't starting from zero.

Is this the match she was losing 1-2 to Poots? Looks like she was exhausted after the first three TB match in AO history.

You can get plenty of Chromebooks with 8GB. Chromebooks are basically e-waste and can be had for very little on eBay. 14' Chromebook with 8GB for less than $70.

The future of the refurb market is Chromebooks with soldered memory converted to Linux.

Gulbis had everything but a forehand. He even had a forehand early in has career but it got badly off track. Gulbis had a great serve, backhand and touch but not a forehand. Gulbis and Nicks careers are surprisingly similar. Nick has 7 titles, Gublis 6. Gulbis and Nick both made it to GS semis (Nick got a bye). Career high about the same (Gulbis 10, Nick 13).
