What exactly does being left-handed have to do with playing left-tackle?

LMAO

 

Compare that to basketball.

 

If your right handed it easier to drive right.  If your left handed it easier to drive left.  Comprehension of proper angles would probably be easier for him too.

 

I doesn't surprise me that Rivera said this.  To Byron Bell's credit the RG spot has been a revolving door.  I remember an article about Newton's and Bell's friendship.  So if Cam's comfortable with it...we should at least try it.  If we had a higher pick I'm sure we'd draft a tackle...but we probably can't get someone immediately better then Bell that know's the scheme with that pick. 

 

I have a feeling that Gettleman isn't going to reach out to some of FA tackles the way we want him too.

I've never played OL but envisioning it in my head it seems like being right handed is better at LT. Puts your leverage inside and better able to form a pocket.

Most coaches in the nfl want your dominate hand in the dirt so if you lineup on the right side your right hand is down and vice versa with the left side thats what bell was referring too (I know not every team does this but some do)
