And why do you think that Kaczur will give you the same result in place of Mankins.
Is it that LG's can be anybody? Or is that Vollmer is a one-trick pony and cannot play LG.
I am somewhat amazed when the consensus is that Light and Vollmer are the inflexible players and that Kaczur is so good that he can learn a new position late in his career and replace a probowler without consequence.
I actually agree with most of your points on this thread, but I have some concerns about Vollmer at LG. At Houston, Vollmer played in a spaced Oline spread passing formation. During Volmer's senior year at Houston, the offense averaged 562 yards and 41 points per game. They had over 600 offensive yards 6 times and over 700 offensive yards against UTEP !
Vollmer allowed a stunning one sack in over 600 pass attempts at left tackle. However, he has only played out in space, utilizing his 6'7 1/2" frame and was a below average ( inexperienced ? ) run blocker coming out of college. I have concerns about how he would project to the LG position.
