Staley needs to focus on coaching the fundamentals, such as proper tackling, and being more aggressive on personnel decisions that is predicated more on merit rather than seniority or veteran leadership. We run heavy DB personnel schemes, so it should be incumbent on him to focus practice on proper tackling, and do some punch and strip drills to get more turnovers, particularly for the DB group. Some pass catching drills for the DBs would be well-suited, with maybe rotating some DBs to be in the WR room to look at and recognize different routes, and in the LB room to recognize run gaps. We need our DBs to have more of a linebacker mentality, and have our linebackers improve their coverage skills. It'd be nice to have a bunch of Dru Tranquills, or Adrian Phillips' on the field. The tackling has been atrocious, and that has been the case for many years.
In terms of personnel decisions, we need Fehoko out there over Tillery. While that may be at the expense of the pass rush, I haven't seen Tillery really rack up many pressures in his role. Fehoko is better suited at stopping the run and that should be the priority. I wish we had 3 Aubrayo Franklins or Jamal Williams' out there who can take on doubles and still bull rush for pressure and disrupt running lanes, but we don't at this point.
We need more Joshua Kelly, and to give Spiller a chance.
I think Salyer will be a nice surprise at LT, so I would give him a chance for a few drives to see how he handles it. I'd almost guarantee he'd be much better than Norton, who doesn't belong on an NFL team, in my opinion. I'd be shocked if we had much drop-off with Salyer from Slater, to be honest. I think that highly of him. We also need to try by fire Jaimes at guard. If he can be as competent at RG as Jeromy Clary was, maybe we can try Zion out at RT or LG with Pipkins at RT. It appears Feiler is battling some nagging injuries, so his play may continue to wane.
In terms of offensive scheming and game-planning, I think they need to consider flipping the script, and passing more for intermediate and longs to set up the run for either Spiller or Kelly. We need Tyrone Johnson back, and if possible, signing Will Fuller. We can utilize De'Andre Carter or Keenan Allen similarly, I believe. We would need to elevate Shane Day to OC, most likely, for these changes to happen.
I don't know, just my scattered-brain thoughts.

Look , if the coaches think Salyer can handle LT, who would be there.
To say "I think he can handle it" based on nothing you saw and a whim,. ... that's just blind wishing.
I'll trust the coaches on this.

Yeah, it's blind wishing and gut-feeling based what I've seen of Salyer on tape from college.
But in terms of trusting the coaching staff on personnel decisions up to this point, not sure how I feel about that considering they trotted out Storm Norton at LT during the Jags game.

y’a that would be nice a pleasant surprise if Norton somehow became all pro left tackle overnight and that would be very convenient and easy !!!

I get it, but that was college. College isnt the NFL. I like his prospects too but it may not be at OT. ill let the coaches decide. He may need time to play OT here or they like him at OG.Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....
