And I have no clue if Glenn has ever been on the right side, but it sure seems to fit him.
Based on how Boling played there last year, and my desire to have the middle be the big, nasty trio of Westerman-Price-Redmond on the field, I can't imagine that this doesn't give the Bengals the best possible line in both rush and pass protection.
I mean, wouldn't we have to pay the Tackles the same anyway?
I just think we would want the best Line regardless and if Boling plays great at LT so be it.

If we move Boling to LT then we definitely make the LG position weaker. So do we want to possibly make both LT and LG weaker in order to upgrade RT by moving Glenn there?
I am sure Pollack will look at all the possibilities. While in Dallas he moved La'el Collins from LG to RT and Jonathan Cooper from RG to LG.
I agree, Pollack has been open minded in the past.
Westerman is a LG and has high potential. I think it would be a shame to just have him rotting on the bench.
Need to give the guy a shot to know what we have there. Has always impressed me. Hard to say if we would make LG
weaker with him, he is a very good pass protector from what i have seen. Who knows how good of a LT Boling could be.
