Difference is the 9ers shouldn't be continually doing that. It's fine for a backup to cross train but once you are a starter you should be focused on either T or IOL.
I totally agree with this. With the new CBA rules and a required 8 OL active on game days, OL can finally go back to being specialists...the 3 reserves focus on just T, G & C. No longer is "versatility" the reason one OL stays over another on the 55. This could instantly help OL's improve across the NFL too. That little move is huge in my eyes going forward.
