[QUOTE="TJV, post: 505246, member: 4300"] The radical re-alignment of the OL of course isn’t guaranteed to work but its direct evidence McCarthy and staff were so concerned about the OL they weren’t going with the status quo. IMO it makes all kinds of sense to line up their best OT at LT and that’s what they’ve done – and that’s about all they could do since talk of Thompson acquiring a big name LT was/is never going to happen and Sherrod isn’t likely to be in the picture at LT anytime soon. I’m still not sure why they decided to flip the OGs too, but McCarthy decided to put his two best OL on Rodgers’ blind side. If Bulaga can adjust to LT, I suppose Sitton should be able to adjust to LG but like I said a successful adjustment is anything but guaranteed. But the OP would seem more apt to me if they were just going with the status quo. And plan B? I’ll bet that’s having the next man up fill in for whoever is struggling. Can Newhouse be part of an improved OL at RT? IMO at the very least he’s less of a concern because of the switch to Rodgers’ ‘front side’. And he’ll get help from the TE more often. I would prefer Barclay or Bakhtiari win the spot in an honest competition because (1) if one of them does he will have been determined to be better and (2) I believe either has a bigger upside, and (3) I don’t think Newhouse has the attitude – he’s not mean enough. For example he struggles finishing run blocks. And while I’m excited about the RBs, whoever wins the majority of PT better be able to pick up a blitz. Rodgers does hold onto the ball too long but if he completely corrects that, he will be giving up those times when doing so results in a big play down field.
