True. Just laying out questions I see.
I’ve heard some buzz that they might try George inside but nothing official. George seems slow and shockingly susceptible to the bull rush at his size.
I think we’ve got potential for a decent interior.
But there are too many questions at OT. Barber is the experienced guy but didn’t play great. Everything is “if/maybe.”
I don’t expect Westphal to start, but you’re right. If he does, he will have passed a lot of guys.
I figured, tried answering as best I could.
George
should be inside. There's a big narrative everywhere and has been since he proved to be a failure OT transfer, that he has always been a guard and Billy moved him out of necessity, that's 100% false. I have to throw that out for why I ask about it. I'm not saying that's your belief.
Potentially, yes. Slaughter was decent at C last year and at one point was our highest rated OL. I'd have to recheck the finish. But then lots of ?'s at Guard with the starters gone.
Barber needs to move back to RT. Sometimes, people can only work one way, nothing against it myself. Another way is maybe he's not a good switch hitter at tackle. Maybe RT is his thing.
Start, contribute, however, he'd pass a lot of guys and be an indictment on OT for the last few seasons (which wouldn't shock most people).
