I dont see RT in his future.

Intend to try....

As they should. Let's see his push, base and technique. If he kicks into Guard, and plays at a high clip...did we lose?

 

[DolfanTim]

I do
I knew he was going to be tuas blind side protector. I love it

 

[Dolphinator530]

The Hunt is on! :funny:

 

[.....]

Flores has said at least a couple of times that they are going to try a number of different things with all the guys up front and find out the best combination. So, nothing surprising here.

 

[FanMarino]

If you don't try then you wont find out. Hes basically a shoe-in at Guard.

Kindley says otherwise......I love Kindley

His feet are good enough to possibly play RT, but I am not sure I see him protecting Tua's blindside.

Maybe he ends up at LT and Jackson at RT in a year.

I will say that a right side of Kindley and Hunt is a lot of beef.

 

[Manning]

Are there any RT in the league with that body type? Looks more like a G to me

 

[BennySwella]

I think it will end up being:

Austin Jackson at LT
Ereck Fowers at LG
Ted Karras at C
Robert Hunt RG
Jesse Davis at RT (hopefully not)

He’s played both RT and LT in college as well as RG. Figured he was going to be Tua’s blindside tackle when they drafted him. Kids got a high motor and is a mauler.

Hunt is a mauler against little teams

Hunt is a mauler against little teams

I mean he had no missed blocks in his last 300 rushing attempts and allowed a quarterback pressure one out of every 100 Pass Plays over the last two seasons.

Yes he came from a small school but those are crazy dominant numbers, so while there is a transition like there is for all rookies I don’t necessarily think he’s going to be hugely handicapped because of his level of competition.

The only knocks you hear about him or some technique flaws nothing about getting beat by speed guys are having insufficient lateral movement or solely relying on power or one particular characteristic. he’s pretty well-rounded and with the situation this year it is the time to let those guys take lumps and by week seven or eight I could probably see a number of the guys along the line start rounding into form

I figured they would.
