He's too tall to play that position effectively, and we desperately need him to concentrate on being a starting tackle, not dicking around trying to learn to play guard. I realize some of you love to hate on Volson and will never change, but when Browning went in last year and played from under center, there was a several-game stretch where our inside 3 were rated #1 in the league.

Exactly. In a real way the IOL had two very different halves of the season. Early on they struggled while Burrow's calf made him immobile and they had to run almost 100% out of shotgun. Once the calf healed and after that with Browning the run-pass balance and the shotgun-under center balance both improved and the IOL prospered (indeed the entire line did).
