SaveOurSonics Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 1 minute ago, BleedTheClock said: I think the RT/LT thing is a complete sham. If you can do it on the right side, you can do it on the left. I've never believed in the theory that RT's can't play LT and vice versa. The only time I see that as being true is if someone lacks the athleticism and technique to match the better blind side speed rushers or was playing next to a TE that helped them all the time. TE's/H-Backs played next to Leatherwood most of the time, not Wills. Wills was the island man for them because of Tua's lefthandedness. To this point. Andrew Thomas was a great RT before he was a great LT, and he has worse feet than Wills does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, if your counter balance is off and you are having to process things differently to which you're not accustomed too it can be like night and day. Though the gap has has closed within the last 10 years with the emergence of the spread offenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
