Me too JP. He’s as mean as a junkyard dog. We need that aggressiveness in the trenches. I’d start him at RT first

You think it would be a good idea to shift both Penning (LT) and Ramczyk (RT) out of the positions they have been playing, LS? I guess we'll see soon enough how Nielsen sees things.

Ram played LT at Wisconsin. He didn’t need to play LT cause we had Armstead but this kid is coming from a small school and RT would be perfect for him until he catches up to the speed of the nfl. He’s already a mauler in the running game. Which is what a RT is supposed to be better at than the LT. Which is supposed to be better in pass protection.

Yeah, I get that, but I have a feeling Nielsen will stick with continuity of position. But, like I said, we'll see soon enough. It's getting closer to OTA's every day!

One thing to consider is the overall makeup of the line. How are the guard/tackle pairings on the left and right sides most efficient? Would Ramczyk/Peat and Ruiz/Penning hold up any better than Penning/Peat and Ruiz/Ramczyk? I guess those are questions that Nielsen will be asking himself. I imagine they'll give both alignments a chance early on in camps.

Yea, it should be interesting from preseason to week 1, who they roll out on the o-line. I hope the light comes on for Cesar. I feel this is make or break for him.

Yeah, I can give him a bye to a degree based upon the total lack of off-season activities his rookie year and playing with a rotating partnership at RT and center all last season, but if we can maintain some sort of consistency on the line this year he has no excuse. In a way that's why I could see them leaving Ramczyk at RT, at least until Ruiz gets the proper foothold.
