Again, easier said than done my man. Kyle Long's don't grow on trees.

we know he is a pro bowl guard.
we know he can stonewall suh (who happens to be if not the best dt in the nfl right up there with the best)
so why risk hampering his development I say leave him there and get him some fuckin help

More impact DEs than DTs. Easier to find a guard than a tackle?
He's the most talented offensive lineman we've had in decades and it would be a shame to leave him at guard considering how bad we are at RT...all imo.

I feel ya man and agree about longs talent I actually was like da fuk when we drafted him but after about 3 games watching him I was like phil emery u fuckin genius...
personally I would leave him there and go after more oline talent in the draft or fa but that's just my opinion.
do I think he has the talent to make it at tackle hell yes but we know he is the man at guard so why mess with that

Makes me think back to all the armchair gm's that called him a wasted pick. As for moving him, I like him right where he is but I do believe he could be a stud at RT.

I just want you guys to answer these two questions:
1. Are there more impact DEs or DTs in this league?
2. Is it easier to find a guard or tackle in the draft and/or F.A.?

There is no reasoning on here dude, earlier you learn that the better. Just because A is great at something, he couldn't possibly be better at B, it's just not posdible, lol

No legitimate reason or excuse to not start Long at RT immediately.

I think that it is easier to find a good guard than it is to find a good tackle. The logical thing to me would be to move im to right tackle as someone suggested. Mills either cannot handle tackle due to lack of talent or trying to play with an injury. I might try to give him a chance at center even.

He handled the best DT in the league yesterday. Keep him at RG to do what he was drafted to do, stop Suh.

Long is a great athlete. These kind of guys can pretty well adapt to most anything. Young guards evolve to tackle all of the time. The only question that I have is whether or not they move him to right or left tackle To me, right now, right tackle makes the most sense.

I think that Long made the Pro-Bowl yesterday. He not only contained Suh, he dominated Suh. Even the announcers commented on it. He is that good!

I like Bushrod, Slausen and Long moving forward. Need a center that can play up to their level and really can play ola or mills at RT and probably be fine

There is a reason it is rare for a guard to go in the top 10, yet there is always 2-3 tackles taken in that range. If he can play tackle, which he appears to be built for, you move him. My question is could Mills be a successful guard. He certainly has the size.

Move Long to LT
Keep Slausen
New center
New RG
Move Bushrod to RT
Maybe Mills or Ola can fill a guard spot.

Cool, we play the Lions twice a year. What about the the rest of the NFL and the DEs?
