He played some snaps his first year in a couple of different games in relief of Richie when he got banged up and had to miss a series or two. And a lot (me included) think his skillset is a better fit there. That said you are right - pretty much his whole career has been at LT. I wouldn't be against Dawkins going to LG but I don't see an upgrade at LT. Nsheke certainly isnt.

That or he will be competing for RT with someone who isnt on the roster yet (draft)

If the plan is to move Dawkins inside...then solidify the left side with Taylor.Williams is still a key here at right tackle...and let Wyatt fight for his life against Long for RG. I'm not so sure about all the shifting,but it could be a possible scenario?

Augie Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I look at it this way: we have a new starting center, and we have a couple very versatile OL who may or may not start next year. If our new backups are better than our old starters, we are definitely going in the right direction! I’m thrilled so far. Bring on the draft! 3 1

njbuff Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Ty says he is more comfortable at LT. Does this mean they are moving Dawkins to G if they sign Williams? Does this mean they are moving Dawkins to RT if they don't sign Williams? I don't really see this ending a pursuit of Daryl Williams.

Green Lightning Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 The footage against Clowney was impressive. He had answers to both speed and bull rushes. If Dawkins wants to stay at LT, looks like he's got legitimate competition.

Number of snaps played is listed to recognize players with small samples. Nsekhe who plays tackle and guard, but played mostly tackle for the skins, is listed as the top tackle still left (he was 4th to begin with) and the 4th best guard available. (Not sure if the higher listed guards have signed yet). Not saying pff is the authority but I would bet every analyst would agree he is better than Mills. Edited March 12, 2019 by Turk71 1
