Now, teams are moving the speed rusher to either side of the line, in order to exploit the perceived better matchup. This is forcing teams use Tackles with better footwork on the Right side as well as the Left, rather than "hiding" the flat footed run blocking specialist at RT.
As for playing on one side or the other causing problems with stance or first step? I can't really support that, as I played both Left and Right sides of the line, on both offense and defense in my playing days, and I never really had any issues. These are professional athletes that we're talking about here, not developmental school boys that might get flustered by having to push off on one foot over the one their used to.
Nice post Sunset, completely understand I just find it strange that players like Westerman could never play both sides or Glenn.

I'd look for a proven LG in FA, draft a RT to compete with Hart, and look to replace Miller in 2021.
Good plan. Would rather have Conklin as an immediate upgrade but the guy will be spendy even though we could afford him.
Sherff I heard we are interested in. Would love this as well in FA.
