mcgufcm 4,096 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I suspect you're not going to get your wish. He's been working at TE in our off-set and goalline formations. Obviously, we won't have an answer until we see the team week-to-week, but my guess is he's going to log time in that role. Young, Danzey, and Slade will handle the Guard positions. Maybe I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
