Am betting that Siereveld is pushed inside this year (RG methinks), while one of the younger guys are put in the LT position. Is he valuable, certainly, and needs to have a place on the OL. Can see Bowen making changes, looking for that best front 5 to take the field. Can always stick a TE on the left to help with leakage, until the newbie 'gets it'. Certainly have upcoming talent at LT, only not ripe yet.

I think he is more naturally suited for OG, but you put your best guy there regardless when the necessity arises and we've seen this in the past (see Donovan Jackson). So I'm sure Austin will get some reps there and may end up being the guy there. Even if it's not his natural position at the next level, it helps the team and typically helps his draft stock showing the versatility to swing out to tackle.

100% I think we were a better team last year when it was Monty-Hinzman-Austin from Guard to Guard but the dropoff at Tackle was too much to ignore. I still think we play better and possibly win, games against IU and Miami with that lineup and TE's chipping and helping on the ends which would have given Sayin another second in the pocket and long enough to light up those secondaries. Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm praying that this years staff is smart enough to be willing to make more adjustments when shit isnt working.

Ian Moore is going to be really good so I'd rather see this lineup even though Padilla is looking good at G also.
