He just has to 'mirror' the hand/foot placements of what he has learned. He has predominantly played left tackle in the past as well.

How did the front office fumble the Albert situation?

Albert wanted to be paid more than they thought he was worth.
Miami wasn't offering anymore than the Chiefs would get for a compensation pick this year.
Having a rookie start at RT is probably better than having him start at LT
we had an incredible young Oline last year that would been even more of any issue had the traded Albert.

you can make a argument that the front office handled it perfectly
"Ok Eric, don't forget what we taught you about form and leverage last year, just do it exactly the opposite of the way we taught you to do it last year." Sounds like he's going to have to forget a bunch of what they taught him last year.

The front office ****ed it up simply because they tagged Albert. If there was no real option or plan to keep him on long term, as obviously there wasn't now that he is in Miami, they should never have tagged him in the first place. If the plan was to take Fisher, then do it and put him at left tackle LAST year. I don't remember the Broncos putting Clady at RT to "break him in to the NFL".

The whole situation was just poorly executed, and it cost us a draft pick THIS year because they didn't think they were getting value for Albert in what Miami offered. Well surprise, Albert still ended up in Miami, and we are sitting here with our dicks in our hands. Not playing out to be one of Dorsey's better moments so far with us.
