Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 1312668, member: 2766"] The first question that comes to my mind is why wasn't he last year? I can't find the article where I read it, but Shafer used the excuse last year of having to play offensive lineman out of position. Palmer at Tackle, Lasker at Guard, amongst others. Not sure if this is on Adam, but this wouldn't have happened, or at least been used as an excused under Adkins/Marrone. I think it was Marrone who implemented it, but the cross training of all OL positions was a great idea. It would have been extremely useful last season. Shafer saw how our OL turned into a strength, and part of the reason was the versatility. Shafer using the excuse of guys having to play out of position didn't come off that well to me, especially when the guys before would have been prepared for something like that to pop up. [/QUOTE]
