Confusing?  Yes, after that post I began looking at PFF stats and felt I needed to post the what I found. Was I wrong most likely, not the first time.. LOL    Yea I outed myself there, so what...

I’ve been a fan since the team’s inception as well and have observed them moving guys the same as you. Like I said it will be interesting.

No biggie. What's worrisome is all the snaps at LT. That seems like the wrong spot for Foster not only talent-wise but strategically. Next season, assuming Robinson departs, Harrison or Little would be superior LT options.

I'm probably overthinking, though. At least for now it looks like they're grooming Foster to be the future swing tackle.

Yep, as fans that is our job while we wait TWO WEEKS for the first game.  What I found odd after looking at preseason snaps is all the back up players that had taken them at RG were no longer on the roster.

Players say switching sides is suppose to be tougher than going from guard to tackle and back. What I wonder about is how this effects them physically. After thousands of reps on the right your body has to get conditioned to absorb impact at those angles. Switching suddenly to the left could increase their injury chances. I know there was a Pittsburgh guard that applied to, he was good on the right, switched to the left, got injured. The next year switched back and was ok. Have no proof but inquiring minds always wonder...
