    Guard is easier to play then tackle, thats why the less athletic ones kick inside.

    Going from LT to RT and vice versa is hard to do because you have to rewire your brain and do everything backwards. Some can do it, some cant, the ones that can become more valuable.

    i wouldn't say easier to play. it is more technical from many stand points. when the tackle is taken up the arc, they esentially become the next tackle for stunts and blitzes. you also have to learn both sides of you with the center and tackle. a lot going on in that position. the only part about being less athletic is how far you may be moving in pass protection, but it's got more and different coverage to watch for.:cool:

    He played right because he couldn't beat out Moore.
    Here I will use Your Najee stuff against you. We will see who plays longer Moore, or Jones.

    Would You like to bet me money on it??? Because if I'm going to do all the searching, I want money for my time. Either Your memory is short, or your playing games.

    They do it all the time from HS ,college, and the NFL, this is not a Steelers thing, but people want to make excuses why a player they like fails, they want to add to there misunderstanding of coaching, or want to pile on to there dislike of coaching

    You just ignore facts :lolol:

    It was never a competition, Moore cant play on the right, he literally said it. Then they were going to switch Jones to the left when they drafted Troy but he got hurt, so he had to stay there.

    You never see a guard being moved to tackle when they leave college. Tackle is harder, that’s why they get paid more.

    One reason it's harder is that OTs face far better athletes than interior guys. That's why edge players make a ton of money vs interior DL.
