[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 42096, member: 628"] But for me when we talk about a guy like tidwell-neal there is a big difference to what Paul is doing. When we made switches under Chan or GOL....we made the switch and stuck with it. Paul moves guys spot to spot multiple times mid season. For sure, we will shuffle due to many injuries. Alot of teams do that. Typically its because the backup is a specialist at guard, and is better than the backkup for tackle. So you slide the starter to tackle and put the good backup at gaurd. This happens a ton at every level, but typically it is always the same side of the line and just the G/T combo. What we see at tech is multiple sides, positions, etc...mid season etc. So this is why I am a bit more critical....I am cool with sliding a guy to fill a gap...for sure. But burden was a Center. Now a tackle...and we are not sure he will stay at tackle. So he is losing reps at Center. I can't recall a switch like this anywhere in football a center and tackle are so freaking different. The body type, feet etc are so different. Maybe its our system...like you say....But if we make the switch STICK with it and allow the guy to specialize. What will happen is in a week he will be back at center....you can't get good doing this. [/QUOTE]
