Conklin was a shell last year of what he is this year and Kelly isn't just miraculously going to be better at RT than he was LT. He was better at RT last year than we was LT this year because Lewan played on an island and we could help him like we did this year. Not facts bro I watched kelly Go 1 on 1 & held his own at RT last season, with far less help Conklin normally gets & the game that he really wowed me, the cowboys game. Demarcus Lawrence was killing Conklin all night long we go in with kelly Lawrence was never heard from again that night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 He’s not great but he’s certainly better than the likes of Stinnie, Douglas, Davis, and probably even Saffold at this point. Instead of signing 2 RBs today, maybe they should’ve actually signed some quality depth/starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demarcus Lawrence was killing Conklin all night long we go in with kelly Lawrence was never heard from again that night This is just straight up false, but if you all want to think the career backup is better than the player who has been our best OL thus far in the season(while the guy you want to replace him started all of those games) then by all means go ahead. Kelly received far more help last year than Conklin has this year simply because Conklin wasn't getting the help this season a RT normally does because the LT (Kelly) was getting that help this season. If you're talking about last year when Conklin looked like he never has in any other season then, yeah, Kelly probably did look better. He clearly wasn't ready to come back from his injury.

TitanSS Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) If Patrick Mahommes was on this team half the forum would be talking about benching him for a backup after the loss to the Colts. He'd be on the hot seat like Robinson and Vrabel apparently are and benched for a career backup like you all wanna do with Conklin 😂😂 This is obviously extreme exaggeration, but damn you all have some short leashes.

ragevsuall17 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I'm on the Conklin to RG train only to try to get our best 5 out there. Kelly may not be better than Conklin... But hes better than Davis/Douglass... By far. But it's also not Madden. How would Conklin adjust mid-season without any prior experience? I think with some practice he may be better inside than in space... But is he ready for that right now? Probably not BUT... can he be any worse than the Davis/Douglass duo have been this year?! We probably won't see it so it's moot...but I'd like to see them try it out at practice a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t want Conklin benched can you read we want him at Guard & Kelly at tackle we want our 5 best OL on the field Conklin is no longer a tackle he can’t anchor he gets bull rushed & embarrassed quiet often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that he somehow is worse than Kelly at OT stems from him being injured last year and absolutely nothing he's done this season. The issues are both OG spots. If he couldn't anchor the last thing you would want to do would be move him further inside against bigger, stronger defensive linemen. Moving him to OG solves as many problems as putting Tannehill in at QB. And I say that meaning Mariota is better than Tannehill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not as athletic as Conklin and needs even more outside help so that makes more sense to me. But the Madden point is so true. The expectation that Conklin would just seemlessly transition to OG and have success as if it's a downgrade from OT is very video-game-esque. If he hadn't been performing better so far this season I would be for it just so we could see if we wanted to resign him as an OG, but he's played well enough thus far that he's on track to be brought back as our RT.

But let's be honest here, every single OT in the NFL has bad reps, numerous ones. That's anedoctal evidence and as small as a sample size as you can give to support your claim. I bet I can find a far worse rep from Taylor Lewan 2 days ago if I browse Twitter. Oh my lord let's bench him.

We don’t think transition will be smooth selling however we feel he can’t be no worse than Davis at Guard & the sooner the better. Conklin just like Zach Martin of the Cowboys played tackle in college & a lot of scouts felt his best position was guard in the NFL because of his short arms & lack of athleticism to play on the edge. Put Conklin at Guard now get his feet wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
