They have said quite clearly they want to see Ford at RT. I expect by the middle of camp if he is performing with the #2s that they start to work him in with the #1s. I expect Ty to start the first pre-season game RT but as long as Ford is coming along at the right rate I think they will get him out there with the 1st team in the 2nd or 3rd game.

How do you see it playing out game 1? I don't know much about Ty other than it sounds like it's going to be tough to keep him off the field. Maybe? LT - Nsheke LG - Dawkins C - Morse RG - Spain RT - Ford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, and I'm really glad they have Long at G. I think he will crack the starting 5 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Spain & Morse on Cody’s left will be great for him and accelerate his maturity at RT. jmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that this is exactly what they're doing, save for the idea that Spain is a definite starter. They may simply be trying to establish his positional flexibility since they're going to have serious competition for interior roster spots.

I do feel, and I think he's stated it publicly, that he wants LT. I still feel good about him. I think he meant it when he said he go too comfortable last year and won't let that happen again. He will start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any way Spain isn't one of their best 5. I do agree with that base, but also with the flexibility that bandit is mentioning. I haven't forgotten some of the formations that Roman had dreamed up. With a young QB, and two possible Hall of Fame running backs, and no dominant receiving targets it makes a lot of sense to have the run open up the pass. With Nseshke as a swing tackle, you can throw him out on some unbalanced lines and create some mismatches that Shady will be salivating over.

But seriously ... I think he'll move up with the 1's Ford could realistically play at either guard or tackle at the professional level as Ford has experience has both positions. Ford played guard throughout his first two seasons at Oklahoma and to right tackle in 2018, where he excelled Has anyone seen Mike Roadhack? Or will ESPN assign a different beat reporter?
