re: Brian Kelly about defensive tackles

quote:

---

Moving players from one side of the ball to the other 1) sets them back in their progressions at their normal positions, 2) communicates to them that they are at the back of the line at their normal positions, and 3) encourages them to look elsewhere in the transfer portal.

If they have only been only a backup to this point, number 3 is true anyway and 1 and 2 are moot regardless.
