No offene but so much fail in this. Reid is not very good. He was awful against the Bengals and hasn't shown much promise. He has failed at LG LT and RT. Reid is all hype in my opinion. When he goes out there he doesn't play well. Also flipping Yanda and Oher??? WHAT...Our O-Line was at it's worst when Yanda was forced to play RT. Our pro bowl guard should stay at his position. I would switch Birk with Gino for some of the game. He is a way better run blocker.

It's still too early to call Reid a bust, poor player, etc. Then again, I agree with you in that he has been underwhelming. He is a major disappointment for a player who we traded up to get. I'm not sure what his role is supposed to be, but he's not doing it.

It's harder to find tackles than guards, if Osemele can develop into a decent pass blocker at RT he should stay there. If he doesn't improve in a year or two then permanently move him to guard.

RT aren't too rare. Quality left guards are worth just as much as RTs. Just look at the top LGs in the league last year. I'd rather Osemele be great at LG than average at RT. It's a waste of talent.
