I guess I just don't understand coaching. I mean, Tytus Howard has played almost exclusively, at RT and LG. He has a few snaps at LT, but has played no snaps at RG, for his intire career.
So of course, let's move him to RG for OTA's, get him some snaps there. Of course, on the right side he's pushing off on his previously injured leg. No problem there.
Scruggs at LG is OK. He took quite a few starts at that position last year.
And Jake Andrews taking snaps at C is fine. That's his position; let's see if he can beat out Patterson.
We're paying Tomlinson starters money and we need to develope Fisher at RT. So maybe the plan has been to move Howard to RG all along. Where else do we play him?
But I really don't understand it.
From April post when asked what position he would be best for now.:
Right guard is where I see him best placed...........and it will not be because of his previous knee injury.
Keep in mind that Howard did not have a classic rupture of the patellar tendon and can't be compared to those that have................not even what is considered a partial rupture. He was found to have a hole in the center of his tendon without a tear that reached to either outer edge...............so for all intents and purposes, the tendon was virtually intact and hole was simply closed.
Howard has been slowed by age and injuries. His comfort zone has always been at RT, but now he is less mobile and needs help, so playing inside with help from the RT and C does make sense. But nothing is in stone with this only being the beginning of OTAs.
