Possibility of Teuhema moving outside like Vadal did?

Does anyone think he could move outside to RT like Alexander did? If we move Pocic to LT and I know, a lot will say again why would we do that he is our best offensive lineman, yeah that is why. Clapp was a true freshman and got a serious look at C.
LT - Pocic 6'7 310 Next in would be a switch of starters
LG - Malone 6'4 300 Next in Brumfield 6'3 300
C - Clapp 6'5 305 Next in Dodd 6'4 320
RG - Boutte 6'5 345 Next in Weathersby 6'5 300
RT - Teuhema 6'5 330 Next in Okeke 6'6 320
How good can Adrian Magee(6'4 325) be?

I wonder what the melt will be like if Pocic doesn't move outside.

Nah, I think he's perfect for a guard.

I hope not, he looks like a guard all the way.
I hope the deals to get a guard to stay are over. Wasn't impressed with VA at tackle at all.

I think Pocic is a no brainier to move to the outside. Would be a much smarter business decision for him as well.

No, no , no...just no. He is a pro typical guard...and am excellent one at that

That is how I see it, at least everywhere but LG. I see Valentine Okeke there. Teuhema has great footwork and that is a must for an OT.
Posted on 1/21/16 at 10:16 am to Nissanmaxima
Does he have quick feet for pass protection against speedy DEs?
Posted on 1/21/16 at 10:38 am to Nissanmaxima
Vadal struggled outside, sometimes guards struggle in space with speed.

Let's not forget about Valentine O Ke Ke everyone was saying last year he was if you turn left tackle in the NFL

Don't see Teuhema as an OT at all. He's a pure OG IMO. A mauler and road grader out there. Very powerful. He's a perfect fit as an OG.
It's a lot harder to switch from OG to OT than people realize. Diff skillset and mindset. At OG, you go against interior DL for the most part and typically have help coming from somewhere, typically the Center. At OT, you are going against the pass rushers, a position that has turned into an "athlete" spot. And you are on an island with a lot of open space to your outside. Gotta have great feet to be a good OT.
OT is much more of a finesse position while OG is much more of a power / mauler type of position. And that's why I don't see Teuhema moving to OT. He's a beast at OG. Vadal was a good RT his freshman year, but he also had the right build for it as a freshman weighing 305lbs and had some quick feet. He moved inside, beefed up, and was an excellent OG his Soph and JR year here. Truly a dominant OG. Tried to make the switch back to OT last year and was solid, but struggled at times. And that's because he had trouble dropping all that weight. I mean he was pushing 340lbs as an OT. Didn't have them quick feet like he did as a freshman and struggled in space. And considering Teuhema was 327lbs as a true freshman and will only get stronger, I don't see him making the switch.
Playing OT is incredibly hard and requires the rigt build. Hawkins has the build you want. 6'6, a lean 309lbs with long arms, good base, and good feet. Pocic does as well, but who knows if he moves to OT or not? Teuhema would have to undergo a massive body transformation and even if he does that, I still don't know if moving him to OT would be the rigt move for him and for the team.
We have great depth at both the OG and OT spots. Let your OGs be OGs and let your OTs be OTs.
