In at RT today.

A No-evidence Feeling: Augustine has shown he can play RT. One wonders if moving our "new" RT back to his position at RG is a thought bouncing around? (Though I am apparently in the minority, I've felt that Lambert's mediocre foot-quickness put him at the Killer Guard position rather than out on the edge.) However we go, we'll be very good, so I'm not sweating.

Lambert is the reason Wagner wasn’t asked back. I’d be shocked if he’s not the starting RT.

 

[Old Man Mike]

... difficult to believe sentence number one.

Lambert had elite film at Tackle. His feet may have looked slow at guard but that is because contact happens so quickly inside. At tackle, you have more space. As an Ol, space is your friend. I bet he looks much quicker this year ( also just another year will help)

Money is the reason Wagner wasn’t asked back. I’d be shocked if Lambert’s not the starting RT.

FIFY

You’ve got weeks to have Lambert and (Black) get comfortable at OT. RG is easier to leave as the “question mark” spot. Could it be Augustine, could it be Absher, could it be Craig, could it be Jagusah.

I prefer to keep the OTs settled and let RG be the position you may see tinkering at.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Well, yes, I would too, if that shuffle-the-pieces is all there is to it. Relatively interchangeable parts are usually not what you're dealing with, so the question really is: how does the OLine coach feel about who's manning each spot.

But, and I really feel this to be true, we're going to be more than fine no matter how Rudolph runs the Five out there (barring injuries.)

 

[Domina Nostra]

Could be that they are feeling less confident about Jagusah.

If they knew Jag was going to be inside, they preferred Augustine and Lambert at RT. But without Jag, they may want to experiment with combinations again.

Elite High School film at tackle, right?

 

[Old Man Mike]

What I mean by "no matter how" Rudolph would choose:
LT: Black or Jagusah or Knapp
LG: Knapp or Jagusah or Otting or Abshur
C: Craig or Otting or Abshur
RG: Jagusah or Abshur or Lambert
RT: Lambert or Augustine or Jagusah

... just to quit there. There are nine names juggled about there, and there can be more.
ANY combo would block the waddin' out of almost any D.
