re: Does Saahdiq Charles move to RT if McMillan is starter?

So what if LSU plays a two QB system this year (one lefty and one righty). With your logic, would we flip the LT and RT every time we change QB's?

uh

that's why you don't typically have QB rosters with polar throwing arms, especially 2-QB systems

I'd say yeah, under normal conditions contingent on the OT (Charles) being able to handle it. And yes, he can. He's not a complete tackle yet... but well on his way. If you watch him closely he's definitely got the athleticsm/footwork for it. His dominant side and balance bias isn't going to stop him from playing either side.

And this isn't 'normal conditions'; there is a great NEED for him to be able to do this:
- first year starter
- the other OTs aren't there yet.

Worth pointing out it's pretty common on a play to play basis in college. I mean, what do you think happened on Canada's motions? The outside leverage protection changed every other play personnel wise. This isn't wizardry. AND protection calls change constantly from huddle to hike. Changing sides is child's play (barring concussion).

I saw Charles do spin moves (one of them a horrible decision) and pulls that that are just spectacular. He's THE guy that if we need to do that, will be doing that.

Michael Vick was left handed and each team made sure to have their top tackle at right tackle. It’s common sense. It just doesn’t happen a lot.

I’m sure Ponasmky is reading this now and drafting a memo to O because none of them thought of it.
