Alberts provides the option of being a starter or a backup at almost every possition.
Who are you going to bench? There is no way that Kendall isn't starting for us next season unless he gets hurt.
Off course it would be Kendall. he was average at best last year and at 35 isn't going to get better.
It irritates me that people can isolate players last season the way the line was decimated. The skins leaned on that side and so did the defenses. Would you really not stack the stable side if you were a D-coord last year vs the skins? Portis did still get 1262 yds(albeit 325 carries) and 47 receptions. and they ran predominately to the left. I don't think ProBowl Samuels was the only guy over there.....
Everthing you said is correct, but I also watched Kendal play porly individually. Would he play better with RT and Janden back? Most likely, but if RT goes down our line would not be much better this year than last. RT is just that important. He was missed in 05 when he went down and we still had another guard that could pull (double d). Watching Kendall pull would have been laughable if it wasn't so sad. He looked like he was in slow motion and no one else was. The thought of losing RT concerns me more than any other position on the team, because of Kendall (or any other guard we currently have on the team).
I would think Zorn's O would require as much pulling as Gibbs'/Saunders' O, but every O requires a Guard to pull from time to time.
