Can anyone explain why they brought in Luke when Jackson shifted to tackle? @Birm, @Bill Landis ? He has gotten no first-team reps that I can remember. Why not bring in Austin? How do you see the line-up going forward? I see 3 possibilities for LT:
1. Jackson to Left Tackle, Austin or Luke at Guard. Would really prefer Austin unless he is hurt and that is why he is struggling.
2. Fitzpatrick to Left Tackle. Has consistently looked better over the last 2 years but has never been playing with the starters.
3. Move Josh Fryar to Left Tackle. I would have hated this idea this summer. But after watching Zen look lost, I wonder if this isn't better than some of the alternatives. Since Fitzpatrick has been practicing at RT then maybe this is the best answer currently.
Thoughts?
