Nash Posted June 11, 2024 Report Share Posted June 11, 2024 Speaking of Leroy Watson’s birthday made me wonder how he’s looked so far? Could he be anything more than depth?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callidus Posted June 11, 2024 Report Share Posted June 11, 2024 (edited) 15 minutes ago, TerryBoats said: It's not that complex. He played RT in college and was projected as a RT/Guard pre-draft. He will likely be very good in those positions. The idea of him moving to LT is novel and largely influenced by his draft slot. Callahan's opinion of Latham should carry weight, but so should Nick Saban's, who never played him on the left side and dismissed the idea of doing so when asked. I wasn't a fan of the pick and even I think you are over thinking it. Edit: Also still don't belive Callahan is a magician but him moving a guy from right to left is not that big of a deal compared to the pre draft rambling that he could turn Seth Rogan into Joe thomas.

FireInTheHole Posted June 11, 2024 Report Share Posted June 11, 2024 I get questioning it if there weren’t already evidence of the ability to switch and if Callahan wasn’t grinning ear-to ear about Latham. It’s also not as if Latham is some later round project guy. He is the LT. DCTitan, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have this backwards my guy. They're not forcing him to play LT because they took him 7th, rather they took him at #7 because they think he can play LT at a high level. Whether they end up being right is what we don't know but that's the case for every draft pick ever made. This is not exactly a Skoronski situation.

They may be wrong about Latham flipping to LT in the pros but its pretty obvious they drafted him to do just that. If he fails to make the change then we can rip them to shreds for being wrong.

Alas, I can't rip them to shreds even if he flops. They did the right thing even if I might have gone with a different player. It's hard for me to rip teams based on results if I think the process was solid. It's picks like Farley that you absolutely should shit on a franchise for.

Popular Post IowaOiler Posted June 11, 2024 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2024 Latham is going to be a stud at LT, and I suspect we'll all know it by the end of the year. DCTitan, Titan8425, titanruss, and 3 others 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Starkiller Posted June 11, 2024 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11, 2024 Latham has also been a crazy workaholic at minicamp, staying way after practices to work. He isn’t going to fail because he’s lazy like Trash Panda. CreepingDeath, SleepingTitan, tgo, and 10 others 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, he's going to have a heart attack before the season from over working himself and sweat is just going to have a heart attack and we will be down our top 2 picks.

He isn’t going to fail because he’s lazy like Trash Panda. His major issue is quickness to his spot. That's really it. He said in an interview that the very first thing Bill C did in an interview is show him a technique to get to his spot quicker. And they did drills for that. He adjusted. Latham said it was an amazing experience. Bill has converted Bama RT's before. He knows exactly what he has in JCL.
