Moretti is, despite the gesture in the Showcase to run with the 1s for a few plays, not ready physically. He may very well continue to progress and start at some point. However, at this point, being third on the depth chart seems appropriate.

Yes, I saw him in the Showcase and watched replay. Attended both open practices. He’s not ready for a starting assignment. I hope he continues to progress.
Yes, he dominated. BDC said so.
A lot can change between now and September.

After 5 months, I think he will be different physically, barring any set backs I see him starting somewhere on the oline. The other dark horse here is Ray.

In your esteemed opinion Doctor/Analyst Hawg who is more ready than Morretti (rolls off the tongue)? Vaughan, Lytle, Polley, Kaiser?
Bryce Bobo’s Career highlights. He changed our offense by emerging as the big bodied receiver. I seem to recall a spectacular one handed catch or two along the way as well. Thanks, Bryce!
Damn
Really cool the school is doing this for these seniors. They had their ups and downs, but deservedly won some great moments along the way

Excited to see what they put together for Laguda. Kid could lay the wood.
Kaiser at this point. It’s reflected on the depth chart, not just my opinion.
People are giving you ****, but the only thing I am pretty certain about is Haigler is a starting tackle. Beyond that, there is a lot to work out and there might be a few tackles making starts by the end of the season.
I certainly hope Moretti is the real deal and can contribute this year. Rolling with Kaiser and Haigler at OT is scary. Haigler, I like, Kaiser, well.... If Lynott comes back near full speed, there is some hope. OL is still a HUGE question mark.

True. That's why arguing about who's a 1 vs. a 3 is silly and why I bothered to even post.
The other starting OT may not even be on campus yet. Filip, grad xfer, late JC add.
Lang?
I think we'll see a bit of a rotation with Kaiser and Moretti this year. Kind of a repeat of what we saw with Kronshage and Haigler during Haigler's RS-Frosh year. Pure speculation based on coaches having a tendency to repeat things that worked for them in the past along with the nod our coaches seem to give to upperclassmen.

Based off Montez's comments, I think if Moretti is healthy he will be in the lineup. Assuming he has bulked up and is physically ready. This is a 4* OT and our line sucked last year. He looked really good at the spring game, and that was with barely any time doing contact drills. His pass blocking is still improving so I wouldn't be surprised if he was a RT. But I don't see a world with a healthy Moretti on the bench.
For me, the real question mark is Ray. Another 4* tackle who is an NFL body. He and Moretti are a class above what we have had recently. I would rather get them developing now.

Moretti can be fully healthy and still not physically ready to be on the field as a starter. He has to build up the stamina to be able to grind at tackle for an entire game. He hasn't played in two years. Its going to be a work in progress.
Just had to get his lower half back under him in terms of strength. His shoulders, chest and arms looks great compared to other lineman on the team and a pretty big upgrade. Lower back and core probably need some work as well.
Confirmed
I'll believe it when Russell Lovett tweets it....
It’s on Foliaki’s private Facebook group

Did you see the part where I included "and physically ready." Obviously if he is atrophied muscle city, he won't be out there.
BS, I checked and P.T. Gates is still the only member.
