First, Albert has played RT and LT. I know he has been an LT with the Chiefs. But, he played RT and RG in college.
Second, I didn't hear the interview about Gaither. I wish I had. If he is talking about Gaither when he was in Baltimore, it is mainly about his weight. He had back surgery and had dropped a lot of weight.
But, if he sucked at RT, when he did.... it would seem to indicate that some coach got him to play RT.
Lets say he did suck. Lets say it was based on THIS year. #1) Then you move Albert to RT. Yes, there will be growing pains, but he can do it and the Chiefs are better with Albert at RT and Gaither at LT.
#2) Even if you don't want to displace Albert (although he is far from a great pro bowl tackle. He is an average starting LT....but whatever), don't you think Gaither would be better than Richardson? Or would you think that Richardson DIDN'T suck when he played RT?
Again, Pioli can acquire all the talent he wants. It doesn't do any good if Haley is inflexible and won't get them on the field.
