Noticed this in Oehser's Q&A today. Since there's been a debate on the topic in a few threads, thought I'd leave it here:



Chris from Mandarin:
Given that Doug Marrone stated publicly during the offseason that he did not see Cam Robinson as a guard and did not have plans to play him at guard, why did the team ignore that area of the offensive line? Granted, Caldwell clearly does not evaluate linemen well (given the overall performance of the group since he's been around), other than Linder - though even a broken clock is right twice a day, but Marrone and Tom Coughlin should have known better, shouldn't they have?

John: If Branden Albert had started at left tackle – as was essentially the plan – Robinson was the logical choice to play left guard. His talent, skill set, size, etc., all pointed to that. The team did not “plan” to play him at guard because the team was working him at tackle during organized team activities and the offseason, but had he not beaten out Albert, it’s a big stretch to think Robinson wasn’t going to start somewhere for this team. And that somewhere was going to be guard.
