It was just a combination things: trying to determine what DT was best at, DT needing to clean up his technique, DT needing to get stronger so he could be more consistent with his technique (i.e. when he got tired he played more upright and that's when trouble began).
I don't think training a player to be versatile is a bad thing. Injuries happen so being able to play multiple positions is a must.
It's not like DT would have been great at LG last year if that's all he did. He has developed over time. Let's hope he continues the trend and that Turner and Douglas follow in his footsteps, only quicker.
I'm more concerned about RG at this moment. Not sure who gets the start in game 1.
I heard that Douglas has moved ahead of Turner after this weekend. No, I don't think they know what they are doing. I think there are serious problems with offensive coaching staff.
Or maybe Turner isn't ready just as he's shown for the last month. Douglas has outplayed Turner. That gives me hope that the stubbornness of Philbin is no longer an issue. I must say that with that latest move and the development of Thomas, I feel much better about the line. If he plays this season as he's done through the PS, then I don't know how you can complain that the coaches don't know what they are doing. Thomas, Mathews, Douglas, Tannehill, Miller have all developed under this staff.
Douglas gives us a player at RG, who can get out and pull and get to the second level with blocks. Turner may be a year out in his development. Sometimes it takes years for o-linemen to figure it all out mentally and physically.
1 of 3 or 4 teams in the entire league to have a 1k yard rusher and 4k yard passer but they don't know what they are doing? Achieving that in a first year offense with major injuries and a serious lack of depth????
LT Albert
LG Thomas
C Pouncey
RG Douglas

...could be the making of a very good line.
Looks a hell of a lot better than Daryn Colledge at LG and Pouncey at RG and 50 sacks.
