I'm not so sure I like them. Peters was solid at RT and starting to develop into a quality player, particularly on pass blocking. Now we're moving him yet again? And filling his spot with a rookie? And moving a mediocre tackle inside to guard didn't exactly yield positive results last season with Mike Williams, so what makes them think it will work now?
Ok, all that being said, it has to be done. This season is pretty much shot. If we can turn Peters into a quality LT and if Pennington turns out to be worth a damn, it eliminates the offensive tackle position as one of our biggest off-season needs. And for all Gandy's faults, he's not a big fat overpaid lazy piece of **** like Mike Williams. It may actually work for him.
And, now we have Tutan Reyes riding the pine, which means Villarial can be benched at any time (and probably will be sooner rather than later).
Conclusion: it's a bit of a desperation move and it may not work. But we have nothing to lose at this point, and if it does happen to work (or at least work better than what we were doing), it will help us tremendously in the off-season and next year.
