Makes sense because you have Long, LDT, and Wylie at RG. While it’s just Thuney, Allegretti, and Rankin at LG. He could easily win the backup job to Thuney.

I still expect him to be the starting RG in 2022.

It's not interesting or surprising in the least.

Reid wants all of his lineman to be comfortable playing any position along the offensive line, so it stands to reason that guys are in different spots during the Rookie Minicamp session(s).

It's interesting to me.

Then you haven't been paying attention, as usual

:shrug:

RG position is wide open IMO. Smith has just as good of shot as either LTD or Long if what they say about best players will play. Smith would have been a day 2 pick without the blood clots. That starter material when you are talking IOL. Same applies to Niang at RT and Humphery at C. It looks to me like the more snaps these three could take as a unit in their natural positions to develop chemistry would be a good thing.

I get the rest of it. Being versatile is a good thing. Chemistry is too. Right now I prefer chemistry. Especially from these three.

There is no chance Smith starts this season. Zero. He’s a developmental guy like Allegretti but with higher upside.

He was a potential 2nd round draft pick with blood clot issues. Not talent issues. It's a bit higher than zero on his chances. Do I expect him to start? Probably not. But this is a great opportunity to build chemistry for the right 3/5 of our line going forward. You could work on the versatility the next few weeks when all of the cast of characters are back battling for spots.

Gray looks like a beast!

Actually Trey Smith has a legit chance to start if he's given a fair shot

While scrolling down from some tweets posted here I found this little ditty from a familiar face.

:D

He’s well ahead of Allegretti. It’s less development and more hoping he doesn’t die because of blood clots. He absolutely has the talent to start.

Get smarter friends

Wrong.

This is the same line of horseshit you pulled with Mahomes, claiming that he'd start the season, then he'd start later in the season, blah, blah, blah, during his entire rookie season.

Just because you want something to happen doesn't mean it will happen, especially when you're dealing with coaches that have been doing things successfully for 20+ years.

Are you having a Dante Hall premonition about him?
