Saints work out WR Deon Butler/Jason Hill

We signed a guard off the Falcon's practice squad. They should put him in at tackle. Evans and Nicks were converted tackles. Why could they not convert a guard to tackle.

If they are not good enough to start for the Falcons, and NO OTHER team poached them from their practice squad through week 4 = not a starter.

Maybe depth.. Not a starter.

Saints o-line
9 sacks / 18 QB hits
yards/rush 4.3

Falcons o-line
11 sacks / 22 QB hits
yards/rush 4.1

Who would you suggest he replace? You don't reform a guard to Tackle mid season.

Usually you don't convert a guard to tackle because they don't have the footwork required to play on the outside.

Nicks for example does not have good enough feet to play on the outside and was therefore moved to guard.
