JC Tretter - what happened to Mr. Versatile?

I don't see the connection. They still have to test and prepare the backup LT. Bak could get hurt at any time. If they play Barclay there Thursday, the only reasonable explanation is that he has the job. Otherwise they'd give the real backup LT some meaningful snaps. Why not add that preparation? What other purpose would there be in giving Barclay all the preseason meaningful work at that position?

Because they don't want to risk their starting RT mopping up against 2nd & 3rd string chattel at LT?

OK, I get why Barclay spent some time at LT. But they were playing Bulaga at RT, Barclay at LT. Curious.
