With Tunsil an automatic for LT this season it looks like Albert's got 2 choices...move to LG or the bench behind Laremy. At his age he is no longer a dancing bear...but he just might be a perfect fit at Guard with a mighty chip on his shoulder. Let's see what you got Mr. Albert.
 
Won't be his first time playing inside. If he approaches it with the right mindset he should have a renaissance year at G. Let him enjoy that fat LT contract for the year and play like one of the best LGs in football.
 
I wouldn't be surprised he rejects playing guard. Didn't KC want him to and he said no and then got cut?
Not sure if that's true but if so, why would he here?
I'm hoping he can go to LG. Just need to get an upgrade at RG and maybe 1 more depth player on the OL. Cut Thomas please!
 
Overpaid injury-prone Albert can go after this season.
 
Either Albert or James is gonna have to swallow a little pride and kick inside to guard to get our best 5 linemen on the field.
we finally caught a break in the draft, and this one pick makes our o line and our offense immensely better.
 
For this year I'm guessing Ja'wuan James goes to Guard and Tunsil starts out at RT, Albert stays put at LT.
 
I wouldn't be too quick to run Albert out of town. One injury to James or Tunsil and the team could be back in a very ugly situation. Why not keep all three and start whoever the top two players turn out to be. If James has to sit the bench while Albert plays what would likely be his final year in Miami so be it. If Albert loses the tackle battle maybe consider kicking him to guard for a year.
 
He certainly is Branden Albert's eventual replacement . . . but year 1, don't be shocked if he has to kick inside to LG . . . especially if Branden is healthy.
 
Albert is more than capable of being a good guard. Would make our line very formidable.
 
I don't think we can predict exactly what's going to happen here. Branden Albert is excellent when healthy and we are not in a position to tell excellent offensive linemen who are currently healthy to go take a hike.
 
Best to keep Tunsil on the left side IMHO. Albert played guard in college and has been an injury liability as of late. I'd move him inside and put Tunsil next to him. Tunsil/Albert/Pouncey looks pretty intriguing to me. Sucks for Douglas as LG was probably his best hope, but thems the breaks.
