If Williams is not better at LG than Jordan or Price, you can't put him in there as you are downgrading the line.

I realize that you were responding to jfk's post, but he was responding to mine, so I don't feel like I'm stepping on his toes by responding here.  I don't think that he's trying to say that Jordan or Price are better than Williams, as he was simply using it as an analogy to when Whitworth played Guard when Levi was strong at LT.

The goal is, and always should be, to put the best 5 OL that you have available on the field together.  If that means we sign Whitworth back to the team, and Williams can't beat him out for the LT job, then you plug Williams in at LG providing he beats out the other challengers for the spot.
