You can have aspirations of playing Niang at LT and still try and upgrade the LT position with Williams at the same time.

Exactly.

It really isn't that hard to understand if people accept that the team isn't thinking about this situation with the same panic they are.

I think its been communicated to literally, Reid said the was a plan to try him out on the left side. Obviously if theres a chance to have williams and Niang on the right where he played its a big win.
