Let's see how that plays out. He's certainly not a LT, period. I would think people could see how obvious that is.
And GM,
Joe talked about how good some of our QB's were too. How did that work out? lol

I don't see it working out , but I'm not the expert . If you look at the choices currently in the building, Coleman is one of two players that the FO would be forced to look at. Drango is already at LT. Drango is currently the starting LT and I saw nothing in Dorseys comment that stated Coleman was a head of Drango on the depth chart. So while he said that Coleman would be moved to the LT position, he certainly didn't say Coleman was starting at the LT position. People are reading more into it than was said. I don't believe you have to be an expert to see that Coleman lacks the quickness and footwork required to be an NFL LT. A back-up if you don't have another body to put in there in case Drango goes down? Maybe....

You know a thing or two about the skill set needed to play LT. We've both been around long enough for me to know that.

And GM,
Joe talked about how good some of our QB's were too. How did that work out? lol Joe isn't, and never was a QB, so him knowing what it takes to be a great QB can be taken with a grain of salt. However, Joe is a great LT, one of the greatest of all time. He does know, without a doubt, what it takes to be a great LT, and he has worked with Coleman on technique at LT. He did so last year, when he had "veteran's days off", and he is doing so now, from what I have read. Joe has long said that technique is everything at LT. If he can help Coleman learn great technique, then he could be a solid, though maybe not great, LT.

We have no LT on the team. Coleman was adequate as a RT, but he isn’t a LT. He’s being moved there because Joe retired, and the only OT they could lure in FA is a RT as well.
This won’t be pretty. I disagree. He did a fine job at Auburn. That isn't saying he is going to be a Joe Thomas, but since there have only been maybe 4-5 as good as Joe at the position, we need to see it play out. Plus, TT like to roll right.

Apparently Dorsey does to as he said he would be our starting LT in the interview....we will see.
What I do know is the transition from of the leg kick of LT to RT is tough. Possibly he is more comfortable from the LT position.
What I really like reading is although retired Joe Thomas is in the house working with Shon Coleman...love it.
Coleman has the skill set. Maybe Sashi is not stupid.

"Shon Coleman will move from right tackle to left tackle this season, GM John Dorsey said. Dorsey said he was excited to see just retired Joe Thomas in the team’s training facility working with Coleman on techniques at left tackle. “You can see that (Coleman’s) committed and looking forward to the challenge,” Dorsey said of Coleman’s switch to left tackle."
Just saying... Reading that,committed,is a good word.Although it should be referencing Dorsey.
Indecision may,or maynot,be my problem

From listening to Dorsey on the radio, the kid from Pittsburgh is the starting RT, and Coleman is being moved to LT. He also said that Stephenson will be tried at LT also.
I think people undervalue Coleman. I don't know if he will be any good, nut he did play the position before. Who knows, maybe having to move to the right side was a chore for him. Reversing his kick back and stance after playing on the left side previously.
That being said, I think that if any LT becomes available, we will be calling. They made a run at the Pats LT. I don't think they are going to be satisfied with what they have.
RIP, Jim

Yes. For his first season starting he looked pretty good and got better as the season went on.
Can he play on the left though?
Joe says he can, but I'm not as sure. Ok....then who are we posters going to go with?  Just saying.

A back-up if you don't have another body to put in there in case Drango goes down? Maybe.... I went back and looked at the NFL Draft Profile on Coleman. It talked exclusively about Coleman at LT. A lot of those profiles will say something like, 'although a LT in college he projects as a RT in the NFL'. His profile didn't say that. They expected him to be drafted in the 2nd round as a LT at the pro level. Plus, you've said it before and many of the sites I read say the same thing, that Drango needed too much help at LT. It caused the team to scheme the offense to make up for his deficiencies. So there's that.

Both could get better, but I would never expect Drango to be on the left long term. Coleman at least has a shot.

ere's what I know. Joe has talked up most of our players. It's what he has done. He's talked up most of our QB's too. How has that worked out for you? lmao He also talked up Hue Jackson.

I call BS here, you talk as if u know when actually you know diddly.
Let see Joe talks about QB so all of a sudden he knows Diddly about LT but you know...lol
Greco not on the team but know are personnel says Coleman can make the transition. Of course proof is in the pudding. But lets see.
Dorsey, HOF LT Joe Thomas and former Brown OL vet Greco. All claim Coleman is the guy.
Or the fan known as Pitdawg, hmmm who should I believe...lol really

With the amount of picks we have it would not hurt to draft a prospect who we think can play LT in a year or two. Develop him with our new QB.

But as long as we have so many picks we should keep picking excellent prospects at key positions (LT being one of them, QB another).

Roderic Johnson is bad. He was abused in camp. He's soft. He is very similar to Cameron Erving.

All Im saying players progress. Usually slow from those who actually are athletically quick can be from thinking during the process. So if Coleman is more comfortable on the Left maybe he can make it. Just wish to actually see him play some games after preparing this offseason n camps with guess what Joe Thomas helping!

He didn't play last season. I don't believe he has seen a snap yet... He played in preseason (and terribly at that). And he was beaten repeatedly in camp. Not just by Myles Garrett either (although, that was part of the articles while Myles started on the backup squads)

Not just by Myles Garrett either (although, that was part of the articles while Myles started on the backup squads) He was a baby giraffe, though. Only 21 years old (at the time, 22 now) and just not ready to harness that raw ability. He needed development time more than anything. He was purely an upside pick. I read quite a few times that people thought he should have returned to school for another year, and that he could have seen his value skyrocket as a result. I thought he was pretty good in the preseason. Much better than the cap reports suggested, which I suppose is to be expected because Joe Thomas makes it look effortless. Obviously a rookie, but far from a lost cause. Then again, I'm no OL expert, but it will be interesting to see his progression when he returns for camp.

I get that he played poorly early in his first NFL training camp before getting injured a missing the entire season. While that may mean he doesn't have what it takes, it could also be that he was overwhelmed and is capable of more than he showed.
I will reserve judgement on the kid until we see what he looks like in TC this year.
