Hopkins is a good pass blocker, one of the best in the NFL at Center. He just isn't a good run blocker.

His best pass blocking grades on PFF came when he played OG.
It was his run blocking that made fans dislike him playing RG.
So perhaps Hudson at C and shifting Hopkins would make sense, at least if they want to be primarily a passing team again.
I would take Hop at Guard all day over Jordan, but still would like to add a Gabe Jackson and a Reiff more
than just Hudson and moving Hop.

His first stint at guard was his first year playing so there was going to be some growing pains. I believe Hopkins could move to Left Guard without much of an issue.
Good points, with Pollack being here maybe Hop can become a good Guard for us.
I think Pollack is a much better OL coach than Turner.
