Carey gets his due by going to LT.

Carey is going to the hot spot on our O-Line. Can he cut the mustard? personally im pleased that Houck has seen Vernon as our anchor at LT if they seem fit. He was our best player on the O-line last season and he did it under the radar. After being screwed around in his rookie season lets hope hes found a home at that position and be a solid player at LT for many seasons. Playing time was Careys saviour last season. Hes got to prove why he was picked high. I know alot of fans slagged the guy off when he was getting messed around regarding his best position. Bust he isnt.

I couldn't agree more! Leave him alone, he will have a few bumps in the road but he has too much natural talent to fail!

I agree. But now if Alabi moves to starting RT then who becomes Carey's backup? Cameron stated that he felt comfortable with the OT's we had. A team carries 4 on the roster: 2 starters and 2 backups.

So Im guessing that he means Carey at LT and Alabi at RT, Rosenthal as the backup RT with Shelton as the starting RG but the backup LT.

This would explain why although they have Toledo, Hadnot, and Shelton as our starting G/C's with Liwinski, Stevenson, and Ingram as the backups...we still went and added Satele and now Mormoni to the mix.

If one of the starting OT's goes down...Shelton would move in and Satele would just move into the RG spot.

So I see Carey, Alabi, Shelton, and Rosenthal as the actual OT rotation.

With Toledo also being versatile enough to move into the OT rotation as well.

I like what Cameron is doing with the OLine. He has kept the versatile linemen.

Hadnot can play both C/G. Shelton can play both G/T. Carey can play both T spots as well as G. Toledo can play G/C/T. Satele can play C/G. And so forth.

I was wondering why MIA continued to pass on Kalil and didn't even try to trade up a few spots for him. Then when he went right before our #60 spot...Mayock and Kiper both stated that he dropped because of his lack of versatility.

Teams felt that Ryan Kalil can "only" play C. Cameron wanted an interior lineman that can play more than one position.

There is the worry though that Depth wise we are short. If we cant sustain our starters we are immediately going into the unknowns regarding players (Alabi, Toledo etc) Pre-season i hope will get those guys some playing time.

Vernon Carey moving from RT to LT

story is on FH front page. Cam says he thinks he can do it.

since we didn't draft any Tackles and didn't sign any in FA, i guess he is gonna have to.

somebody refresh my memory, why did he get moved from LT to RT in the first place?
