I'm sure there is a lot to learn in terms of plays, but you don't have to teach this guy how to play the position, and he would be playing one on one in a lot of situations with his man. A receiver it would take time to develop rhythm with the QB, a corner would need to know the coverage schemes front and back, but couldn't a RT get up to speed faster?

Sure, to a degree you're right, but there are nuances to certain blocking schemes that are as intricate if not more than some passing trees. "First man inside on or off the line, unless the guard is gapped, then...." basically, there are a lot of "option schemes" to blocking...unless you decide to run a zone blocking scheme, like Denver, and run a whole lot of stretch plays and bootlegs. Then you just look for the next jersey that's not yours and latch on or lay them out.
I have no idea what to expect from this team now that Haley is taking over the offense though. I assume they use a mixture, with the backs we have though, I assume it's a pretty straight forward bunch, not a ton of pulling guards or anything. The bigger problem is all the play calling....OLineman goes left when he was suppose to go right, someone looses their consciousness, or knee, etc....
