That is undoubtedly what VJ and Elway are thinking. They want to have that solved so they are eager to see if McGovern can start at RG. This is his big chance to win a starting job in the NFL. If he plays well this season he's virtually guaranteed of a roster spot next year.

He's under contract for 2 more seasons.

can someone explain to me why it's so critical that ron leary play left guard instead of right guard? is there some kind of magic that i'm unaware of? what does it matter which side of the center he lines up on? all due respect, i hope they keep him on the right forever, just because it's comical seeing how bent people are about a meaningless detail. . .

Mark Schlereth explains that it's the opposite of a "meaningless detail." OL practice their plant and kick leg thousands of thousands of times in practice until it's second nature. Your right leg is your plant leg, and your left leg is your kick leg. Every time.

Switch to the opposite side and everything is different. They have totally reprogram their muscle memory. Now the left leg is the plant leg and the right leg is the kick leg. Everything is literally the opposite of the way they are trained. And that is not instinctive.

Yes, they can do it but a guy who is a pro-bowler at LG (like Ron Leary) should NOT be made to switch to RG. He's adequate there, but certainly no pro-bowler. It makes a big difference.

Remind me the year Leary was on a pro-bowl roster?

I've heard it from more that one source that Leary should be in the Pro Bowl this year . . .

I've literally never used snapchat. Don't understand it...I guess I'm too old for Snapchat...I barely use instagram.

I have never used Instagram, snaped my chat and have only occasionally twitterpated.

I, too, snub the horseless carriage. Infernal contraption.

Snap chat is a marvelous tool that is used to getting girls. I use it all the time. It works like a charm. I love snap chat. Now to use it for documenting stuff, I think that is dumb.

No wonder I'm single. "Aye girl, check it out, I have this dog nose and a rainbow for a tongue." is the new "Wanna go for coffee?"

Nah, you use it to make sure that their friends are hot and to get a good look at them. Plus, they love sending naked pics as they delete away.
It works wonders too if you meet a girl on tinder or something. Get her snap to make sure she is as pretty as advertised. You can also then show her your place so she feels comfortable coming over and badda bing badda boom you slay that snatch up in your room.
