Maybe you'll take Scott Wright's word over mine:

"This guy was the reason Branden Albert was playing inside at guard rather than outside at left tackle ..."

This is wrong. Virginia's coach wanted the best players on the field. Albert, and Monroe were among those. Albert could play G, Monroe could not. So to keep Monroe on the field Albert had to play G.
