Bottom line, it's too early to panic about Left Guard.  However, the panic about backup Tackle should be Defcon 5.

This is why I never trust camp reports. Practice =/= real games. We've been burned by this too many times. Damion Willis is one of my favorite (or least favorite, depending on how you view it) examples of this and Carman will probably be another real soon.
