Quote:I'd say it's a decent possibility of him moving to guard. A couple seasons ago, Whitworth was actually moved to LG for a couple games (I think it was a couple) due to injuries on their interior line. Their depth player was basically only a Tackle, so they swung Whitworth to guard and played the depth guy at LT.


I thought he was awesome at guard. He was mauling people in the run game. He did have slight trouble with some pulls, but it wasn't that bad.


Whitworth was pretty upset when they drafted young tackles. He publicly made some statements about it. However, he came out last season and really looked great.


If he does end up staying with Cincy for his career, a move to guard is possible. The probability of that? Idk.

 

   Being that so much of what the Bengals do in the running game is with a mauling approach,  Andrew Whitworth should be able to make a natural full time transition to Guard.  Yet,  one question that's very uncertain at this time is whether Whitworth would prefer to remain with the Bengals if moved to Guard or would he rather go to a team that would consider him their starting LT?
