    Sounds more like the RT job is Barclay's to lose.

    Seems to me the team needs more backup help in the middle than on the ends.

    Barclay, Newhouse, Sherrod (I hope), Datko all fighting for that right tackle spot, correct?

    Sherrod, Datko, and (perhaps) Newhouse are all LT-only type dudes. That's the only issue I am seeing with the roster right now, o-line-wise.

    Sherrod played RT in 2011, the limited times he played, didn't he?

    Yes. He was playing RT when he was hurt. Datko struggled at RT, and was better at LT last year in TC. Newhouse struggled at one of the Guard positions as a rookie. I wouldn't be surprised if they try him some at Guard again this summer.

    In 2011, Newhouse jumped back and forth a couple times between RT and LT in the same game. Eventually he took over for Clifton full time.

    Datko said last year that his problem was that all through high school and college, he had never played a snap on the right side of the line, and adjusting his footwork was simply requiring too much concentration. He said nothing was automatic for him on the right side. After a years worth of practices, it has to feel more natural to him.

    Ah, this thread has answered a question I just posed in another thread.

    Oops.

    Why "Persian Guy"?

    Does this mean we preface every player's name with his ethnicity?

    Van Roten would be "Dutch Guy."

    Is "Bulaga" a Romanian name?

    Bulaga is Polish, fer cripes sake.

    Rodgers would be the British chap.
