I honestly don’t know if we currently have anyone on the line who can do that (maybe Jonah Williams but who knows). In my mind, I always view the RG spot as a more physical bruiser run blocking type. Vs LG being more pass protecting finesse but honestly things seem mostly interchangeable anymore. Sounds like you couldn’t go wrong either way in that scenario though, as the reports on Lemieux are pretty good and the Badgers seem to always produce great Lineman. I am curious though how Biadasz would project to guard instead of center. I’m always leery of position changes.

Personally, I just feel like being able to successfully run between the Tackles, with regularity, gives a good QB almost an unfair advantage in today's game.  Being able to line up and sneak or hand the ball off with confidence, on 3rd or 4th and short can break the spirit of a lot of defenses.  When you can run effectively, everything else just works so much easier.  2nd or 3rd and medium aren't automatic passing downs, the PA pass has defenders truly biting on the fake, etc.
