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.
