Towards the end of the college season, he started showing flashes of dominance, then because of an injury, he was forced to move back to the RT side for the final few games.
On the Flip side, Fisher played his last year as a LT as well. So we have options, but I would think that Ogbuehi would end up as our LT with Fisher at RT.
It's not that simple. It never has been.
The narrative that a guy can just switch sides and it's no big deal because they're an athlete or whatever is false.
There's a lot more to it than that. It's about comfort and a lot of it is muscle memory.
What makes Joe Thomas, Andrew Whitworth and Tyron Smith so good is that every set they take in pass pro looks exactly the same.
They hit their sets in their sleep. They are technically sound from the snap.
Being comfortable with that from both sides isn't that easy.
It's entirely possible he's just not comfortable at LT.
