Quote:Yeah. Lots of question marks remaining along that front. 

 

Personally - I don't think we'll have a clear idea on where the staff stands on the O-Line until the last week of July/first week of August. 

I think they are trying to really evaluate guys at different spots right now since Albert's status is somewhat dubious and there are technically 4 guys on the roster that can play center. 

 

They want to be prepared to shuffle however they need to depending on Albert's readiness and/or injury to an anticipated starter.

 

Linder taking lots of snaps in May/June at guard may not mean they plan to move him. 

I guess my question is at this point, why wouldn't Marrone know who the best five are, considering he was the OL coach the past two seasons and we've had few OL added this offseason?

 

Is Marrone accounting for player development/decline?

 

Is he accounting for performance in a brand new scheme/new philosophies?

 

Was he somehow precluded from experimenting/making changes along the OL by Bradley?

 

Is he trying to cultivate a less comfortable/more competitive environment among the OL?

 

As it pertains to Linder specifically, did Marrone have a firm conviction that he was better at G? 

 

Does Marrone have a lesser opinion of someone like Cann, or perhaps a higher opinion of Bowanko?

 

Lots of questions, indeed.
