[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 549746, member: 9033"] So Sherrod was drafted to play tackle and our coaches, for some inconceivable reason, decided to have him compete with TJ Lang at left guard instead during his rookie offseason; the same TJ Lang who had a VERY good 2011 so it's no knock on Sherrod that he couldn't beat out Lang. So, instead of actually getting practice reps at tackle in his first exposure to a professional program, our "left tackle of the future" was being trained as a GUARD! So, was it really any surprise that Sherrod struggled to make an impact when the coaching staff had determined, before any practices were eeven being held, that Sherrod would be taking most of his reps at guard? How exactly was Sherrod supposed to beat out Newhouse when the coaches didn't allow him to compete with Newhouse? Sherrod was FINALLY moved back to tackle after the second exhibition game but by then it's a little late to expect him to be able to learn the pro position at tackle. The third exhibition game has starters play the most and the fourth game is mainly for guys in the cusp of being cut. After the preseason the coaches are more worried about game planning that developing a guy (though obvoisuly they hope that happens). So I think the better question is why the coaches wasted Sherrod's first chance to develop their first round tackle by tryiing to convert him into a guard? [/QUOTE]
