Andy, be real!
How can Cannon be the best option at LG if he has never played LG. Why wouldn't he have been give reps at LG during the preseason.
What you are suggesting (and it seems rightly) is that Bleichick knew that Cannon was good enough to start at LG in place of Mankins, with no practice whatsoever.
Others can mark this on the calendar. I am not critical of the trade. I am STRONGLY critical of starting a backup RT at LG with no preparation.
Then who was the best option at LG? Because no one had played there.
Connolly was the C. Who do you play at LG? Cannon had proven clearly to be the best OL of the bunch, and needed to transition to G. Its easy to say play him their in preseason, but that didn't happen, and a decision still had to be made. Who are you playing there that proved to be a better blocker than Cannon?
You seem to expect every question to be answered before it comes up.
