Bit early to say such a thing, but I understand, the coaches seem to love Volson.
I don't hate the guy either as you know, I defend Volson a ton on here, but think Mims could play Guard is all I am saying.
Mims OL coach said he can play on either side of the line and at Guard if needed. He has the talent to do so and do it at a high level.

Always good to have our options open.

Right now I'm most comfortable with OBj at LT backed by Carman, Volson at LG, Karras, Cappa, and Brown at RT backed by Mims. I know some don't like Volson, but he continues to improve, shows flashes, and for a certain number of weeks last year out interior line was ranked #1.
I understand Sled, like I said in my post after that one, I do think it is the best idea to keep Mims as backup RT.
Just saying that Mims has the ability to play Guard or on either side of the Line with his balance, athleticism and smarts.
As you know, I have defended Volson a ton on here. But we can get better at LG and do think Mims would be better at LG right off the bat.
Volson has been terrible to open up both his first two seasons, just the way it has been. Hope it is different this year.
