Yeah, I know, he played LT and LG in all the vids I watched of him at Miami which is why I was a bit surprised he was playing RT. 

You said most draftniks had Rivers playing Guard in the pros. Just saying with his long arms he can play both in the pros.

Bengals are off tomorrow and then next practice is Saturday evening at PBS. Anyone going?

We need Fairchild to be good right away if he is our starting LG.

To me that is a sign they are focusing more on the basics than in the last couple of years

Good sign alright. Keep it simple stupid. The basics is where we need to get back to with our young team.
