These PFF numbers as of 11-17-23:
| Player | Colton McKivitz | Mike McGlinchey |
|---|---|---|
| PFF Pass Block Grade | 60.5 | 59.0 |
| PFF Run Block Grade | 54.3 | 72.6 |
| Sacks Allowed | 5 | 5 |
| Total Pressures Allowed | 22 | 33 |
| Hits Allowed | 3 | 4 |
| Penalties | 2 | 8 |
| Contract APY | $2.3 million /yr | $17.5 million /yr |
The obvious drop off has been run blocking. McKivitz is a below average run blocker whereas McGlinchey is an above average run blocker, but McKivitz has been cleaner in pass pro, has committed fewer penalties, and costs significantly less.
Keeping McGlinchey at $17.5 million/yr would’ve been a massive mistake. We were right to move on.
Anyone else think it’s time to give Jaylon Moore a shot starting at RT? I thought he played decently filling in for Trent at LT, and being a swing tackle he could switch to the right side.
At the absolute least, i don’t think he does any worse than McKivitz. But given how he played filling in at LT, I think he’d be a definite upgrade.
