Stinchcomb Released

I'm going to have to place my trust in the coaches with this. They are just a little bit more knowledgeable than me and know what the hell their doing.

True, and I'm sure they didn't just release him without a plan.

Soooooo, how about Tennant at LG and Nicks at RT?

Nicks would be a flat out dominant RT in this league, and they are apparently real high on Tennant at either OC or OG.

I think we still need to bring someone in for depth, and as I said, I dont think this is the year to experiment with moving around your offensive line. Especially when that move involves one of the best guards in the league and a back up center going in out of position as a starter. You need at least an entire offseason to pull off a move like that.

Most likely correct, but Nicks did play OT his entire college career, at a school that lead the nation in pass attempts. It wouldn't be unfamiliar territory for him.

This could be the plan we have 3 more preseason games to see..

Im like you though, Im sure they have a plan. If they are bringing someone in, they already have a deal done. The FO has proven they know what they are doing with **** like this.

It's not that big a change really. Most right tackles are glorified guards anyway. Unless you play on a team with a left-handed quarterback your right tackle is usually just a big masher who's not a good enough pass blocker to play the left side.

Sorry for Stinchcomb because this is likely due to his injury....however we are still in fine shape.

I actually think the best alignment at this point might be to put Strief at left tackle and move Bushrod over to the right side.

I like it! Strief will be the new RT. He's not the greatest pass blocker, but he is a stud in the run!
