[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 42112, member: 628"] But I stated in my latest post that this ok, it happens alot. But it doesn't happen severely. For instance Center to tackle mid season. Or right side tackle to left side guard mid season, then the right side guard starts at right side tackle. We have done that. I have seen a ton of right side guard slides to right side tackle and the backup plays guard. Why? As you state there is a premium for tackle play and subbing the guard is easier for most teams. This is the single most common cross train in football. The next most common is if your LT goes down, the RT if good enough goes to LT and the backup plays RT. That happens alot too....but again its because of the premium on blind side protection. But when have you seen a backup center go to starting tackle as the cross train???? almost never. A C goes to G....or vice versa. The cross train is fine, I am with you I get it...but its typically done one position away and on the same side of the line. We do it 2 positions away and flip sides constantly This is my point...that it is so drastic As vamos says...could the system lend its hand to do this and be ok??? Maybe....I don't know. I never played in this system, but I am just offering my viewpoint on one thing that I think could contribute to our OL play. Its just an opinion. [/QUOTE]
