Reg flag at LT?

This was already discussed, at length by many, during the Offseason. It is called an adjustment period. Troy Fautanu has two fully occurred seasons at Right Tackle in the NFL. This season marks the first at Left Tackle in the NFL.


His prior experience guarding the left side will help for sure. That said, it is going to take some time for him to get his fundamentals back to a point where it is second nature to him. One game, a preseason game at that, doesn't personally tell me anything I already stated.



In short?! Troy did not play well; neither did Dylan Cook. Expect both to take some lumps for a while.

 

Why do we have back up tackles who are swing tackles and can play either position but when starters try and switch, holy cow, it’s too hard and it can’t be done.

 

Cook struggled

He is a backup forced temporarily into a starting role

He played like a backup

 

So

The sky isn’t falling
