It's a position that has been in a state of flux since Ruben Brown's departure following the 2003 season. The left guard spot has been manned by four players the past two seasons if you count Mike Williams' less than successful one quarter experiment against Kansas City last year.
Realistically in 2004 and 2005 it was filled by three players. In 2004 Lawrence Smith won the starting job coming out of training camp, but was eventually replaced by Ross Tucker. Free agent signee Bennie Anderson then landed the position coming out of training camp in 2005. And while Smith and Tucker were capable linemen, Anderson struggled.
