And the better is Esopole.
Like Jalen Moore, I think, is still the lead tackle.
But they were working in Esopole and Khalil Robinson?
Khalil Benson, who is an undrafted free agent from Indiana, starting tackle for Indiana.
They were working both of those guys in at right tackle.
And so they like what they see there.
Now, does that mean that they're legit starting tackles?
I think Esa Pole showed a lot.
I don't feel bad about Esa Pole playing.
And he's a guy who's new to football, so there's a reason to believe that he can be a lot better in the future as he gets more snaps and reps and time and the NFL weight program and nutrition and everything that goes into it.
But I think there's clearly they want competition.
My expectation is that there will be competition eventually.
And Jalen Moore and his salary will play because, for one thing, if Jalen Moore plays and starts all year and leaves in free agency and you feel good about your guys moving forward, you can get a draft pick compensation for him.
So I think somebody's really going to have to knock him out
to be the starting right tackle.
That would be my suspicion, but that is possible.
That Jalen Moore just is okay, not as good as they thought he was going to be, and that they end up turning in another direction.
