Serious questions from a guy who knows very little about how the offensive line works. Any way Clemmings could be a RG?

I'm not sure he can move any better to his right than to his left.

I highly doubt it.

Clemmings doesn't have the strength to play inside. Moreover, he gets beat across his face pretty easily in pass protection (something that should never happen, but CANNOT happen as a guard).

He, is however athletic enough and should be able to get out and block as a pulling guard.

Did they say whether Xavier was seriously injured or not? I couldn't tell if he was in on those last few plays.

Edit to add:
Never mind, I see he's in.

PS too bad Jerrick can't pass like that!

Not today , but the last two games before today I spent alot of plays not watching the ball but watching Clemmings. I'm here to tell ya, I've never seen a Football player get beat as many times as Clemmings. It's hard to watch but very eye opening

Glad that the Bears can cheer on a little on that trickery so then we don't have to feel guilty when we run up the score in the 2nd half.

Wouldn't count my chickens just yet. The trickery was only for 2 yards, the rest of the drive our defense didn't look so good.
