Iheanachor to play RT

This.


The whole aspect of "playing Guard is easier than Tackle" is a major category error in terms of assignments. For that matter, comparing OT to OG is no different than comparing a Boundary Corner versus a Slot CB; two entirely different positions all together.


As a Guard, the amount of space the player needs to move is decreased but the time to engage the defender is increased. Furthermore, Guards are considered the most powerful among the Offensive Line; most OTs lacking the ability to properly displace their opponents in the running game or even having the requisite anchor to absorb bull rushes in pass protection. As an OT, the amount of time it takes for the Lineman to come into contact with the defender is decreased because there is more space at the OTs disposal.


In short?! Not every Tackle can become a Guard. Either they are a Tackle or they will be a backup all their career. There are exceptions to every rule but those exceptions are so far and few in between.

 

no it's a different skillset. some of it has to do with arm length as well. many teams move a guard to tackle when an injury happens because said player is more experienced overall. many reasons for it. many tackles move to center. arm length, movement ability. both have distinct abilities in the offensive scheme run by the team.

they did move both mccormick and fautanu to the left. makes sense.

i expect at least an injury settlement for jones or they wait and make a june 1 cut so they can split his cap hit to two years. i'm pretty sure he has to be active before they can do much with him.

cook to the right and anderson to the right to begin with. that should change quickly i would think.
