The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports that LG Connor Williams has been splitting time between guard and center during the team's offseason program.
I'm also curious about Jackson. Is he getting reps at OG or OT or both?The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports that LG Connor Williams has been splitting time between guard and center during the team's offseason program.
From the article:I'm also curious about Jackson. Is he getting reps at OG or OT or both?
I would rather keep Williams at LG where he has played before. Has he ever played center?
LOL. Thanks. The article was much longer than I thought. I only read half of it!From the article:
If the Dolphins start Deiter or a player who’s not yet on the team at center, the rest of the line likely would include Terron Armstead at left tackle, Williams at left guard, Robert Hunt at right guard and likely Austin Jackson or Liam Eichenberg at right tackle.
As reported weeks ago, the Dolphins believe Jackson — a former starter at left tackle and left guard — and can be a productive right tackle. He has been working at right tackle in the offseason program.
If the Dolphins move Williams to center, then the line could feature Armstead at left tackle, Hunt at right guard, Eichenberg or perhaps Solomon Kindley at left guard and Jackson or Eichenberg at right tackle.
The Dolphins have the option of moving Hunt from right guard to right tackle, but the team likes how he played at right guard last season and he seems more likely than not to stay at that spot.
BingoI think that Connor Williams will be the starting LG but backup C in case something happens with Dieter. The reps are there to make sure he is familiar with what to expect at C.
LT - Armstead
LG - Jones
C - Williams
RG - Hunt
RT - Winner of battle royale
I have seen worse variations
Can Kindley play center?I think that Connor Williams will be the starting LG but backup C in case something happens with Dieter. The reps are there to make sure he is familiar with what to expect at C.
