Free Is The Right Tackle Starter Posted by rphillips at 11/18/2009 12:27 PM CST on truebluefanclub.com
Doug Free is indeed the right-tackle replacement for injured starter Marc Colombo.
Head coach Wade Phillips didn't name a starter on Monday and said the coaching staff would consider multiple options, including moving right guard Leonard Davis outside. By Wednesday, the first day of practice for the Redskins, the team has made its decision.
"Well I think you always look at two or three options and then pick the best one," offensive line coach Hudson Houck said. "And the best one is exactly where we're going."
Houck said Davis might take his normal "emergency" tackle reps in practice this week in case a tackle were to get injured -- just like Colombo did against the Packers.
Free has been working at both tackle spots in practice. Pat McQuistan will be the swing tackle with Free starting.
"Now his mindset is 'I can zero in on the right side and I don't have to worry about the right side and the left side,'" Houck said.
