Has there been any word of where John Rhys Plumlee is playing? I saw that he was returning kicks, but is he running primarily at WR, RB, or QB?

All notation is of his QB play.

why not keep Jones at RT and Troy at LT and take over for Moore when ready?Vvvvvvvvvvvv

 

Exactly! That would make much more sense than the approach to date. Also, Troy has the highest LT ceiling of the 3 players.

Relistening to Locked On and CC did say that Jones has been dealing with an ankle injury that’s limiting his overall participation. EDIT - the next episode he then said left elbow. So likely injured enough that you don’t want him doing too many one on one drills of reaching, but not injured enough to be out of working completely. 
 

Also Broderick Jones’s interview he reiterated that he has always practiced both sides of the line, will always work on both sides, and his versatility and athleticism makes side not matter to him.

Another thing I saw on Twitter was a breakdown that Pickens has apparently been spending more time in the slot than normal. That’s an interesting development. 

Probably means they have a clear number one and no clear number two, so they likely have to move Pickens around to get him more opportunities given the attention he will command.

CAIII is the clear #2 at this point

 

Clear number two doesn't mean he's a legit number two who will command respect and keep the defense honest against Pickens....yet. I am not getting my hopes up about Austin or Leal until they prove it in games. I do like Austin though.

I don't understand the approach. Makes no sense. The whole 'Jones can play both sides' rationale means nothing until he proves he can play left tackle in the NFL. They need to keep him on the right and have Troy compete with Moore. Modern NFL tackles are so versatile and the difference between sides so negligible that side specific reps don't even matter? I don't buy that one bit.
