It's not hard, it just takes some time. Sewell never got that time, and he was knocking off rust from skipping the covid season to begin with. If Decker had never gotten hurt Sewell would have taken some lumps at RT at first, but he would wind up being just as good there as he would be at LT I have no doubt.

We have a swing tackle as well, Richardson.  Every team might have one but it doesn't mean he's equally as good on both sides.  Lol, some dude on Jags message board says it's not hard to switch sides when multiple lineman have said the opposite over the years.  I think I'll go with what the guys say that play the positions over the years lol.  You saying Sewell would of been just fine there is all just speculation on your part and I'll take his word for it as the others as well

Richardson is a good example. He was a RT only in college and we tried to make him a swing Tackle. He is a subpar NFL RT and when he is forced to play LT, he's an outright liability. We need to bring in O-Linemen with way more versatility. As far as I'm concerned, if you're not an elite OT and you don't have the ability to play multiple positions on the O-Line, you're useless.
