thats not what I want to happen, just reading the tea leaves. I say **** Albert and start Fisher at LT.

We have two premiere pieces of the offensive line now. I want Albert at LT for this season, and Fisher at RT. Only fair to big Albert. With Fisher at RT it will give him a chance to get some confidence as he didn't exactly square off against the prime competition while in college.

The problem is that moving from left to right is far more difficult than any of us can really understand, and Albert hasn't learned fully the proper technique to play LT even still.

The best shift for him, and the Chiefs, would be from LT to LG.

This feels a lot like dejavu...

I only wish we had this conversation when we had the opportunity to draft a true elite level prospect at the OT position...

Imagine how "jelled" this line would have been with Okung at LT and Albert at LG for the past three seasons.

I'd be fine with that if Albert agrees to sign and his back holds up.

In terms of NFL contracts, left guards are far more important than right tackles. Couple that with the fact that coming out of college, Albert seemed like he could be an all pro guard or a high ceiling project at left tackle and it seems if he is gonna move to the next most important spot on the line, he will go to LG.

By all means, put inferior talent at RT.

Reminds me of the Seahawks/Chiefs game where Derrick Thomas set the NFL record for sacks in a game with seven and the Chiefs still lost.

Why are some of these guys not understanding this?

Chiefs have already played their hand anyway.

Schwartz was practicing at LG.

Fisher will be a RT.

Fisher will play where HE is damned well told to.

So in YOUR opinion, we should put a rookie LEFT tackle (who comes from a smaller school and hasn't faced big time talent before) into a completely new position (that has completely sufferer technique) because in YOUR opinion that makes us better than putting a near GOD MODE offensive line out there by signing a vet like Clabo and lining up like this:

Fisher
Albert
Hudson
Asamoah
Clabo

Haha

This isn't a video game, asking a rookie left tackle to play on the right side is a great way to hurt his transition.

Let the rookie play the position he was drafted to play and put Albert at his next most useful spot...the one he played in college and projected as a pro bowl quality player.

After this year the only way Albert plays here is if it's at G or RT. The rookie will get a year at RT and then Albert can switch positions or switch teams...

Not according to GoCHiefs.. he wants Albert long term at LT.

The only way I see Fisher being a long term RT for us if if the impossible happens and Stephenson EXPLODES this year and is our clear best LT. Then you move Albert to LG (or trade) and Fisher goes RT. Reid gets his Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan. Not a likely scenario.
