He's not a body mover, he's an athletic "catcher"
and while my prediction is aging poorly at the moment, I feel confident Pip will not be starting week 1.2024: Far From Over

and now that it is about to happen, they get cold feet.
Imagine the shock here if they had moved Jammer to safety.

We'll see what he can do at RG. He won't be asked to do too much. Combo blocks... block down... seal right/left... recognize blitz pick-ups.
If he can't hack it... someone else will get their opportunity.
Personally, I'm rooting for Karsten Barnhart. He played so well for Harbaugh @RG during their college playoff games.OLineCentric

They don't believe the OL are maulers. They don't have to be. They just need to recognize their assignments and execute.
Roman's blocking schemes employ a lot of combo blocks, seals, and some pulling. He asks his OT's to get to the 2nd level in the run game.
Bozeman already understands Roman's scheme and can make the line calls and protection calls.
As far as 3rd-and-long... if we're running effectively, we won't be in 3rd-and-long that often. When it occurs... everyone seems to have forgotten that Hayden Hurst is an effective receiving target. I'll take him vs a LB almost every play. Apparently, they didn't watch JP's 2022 tape. He converted a bunch of 3rd-and-longs that season.
Dudes are sleeping... and I'm fine with that.OLineCentric

Fatso can play LT/RT and maybe RG .... perfect for a backup player.
No reason to waive Sarrell right now .... Harbaugh says that he wants competition, so why give the fat slob an open space on the roster?

Why bag on him for the way he is built ?
It's a race to be the smartest guy in the room
because Pipkins has been observed getting snaps at Guard."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

all of these guys we've had over the lasts several years on the roster will show improvement in the run game, in part due to coaching and in part due to scheme but perhaps the biggest reason will be a renewed commitment from Harbuagh to emphasize and re-ignite that part of the offense which has been missing for a very long time...I might come across like a fool on here for believing in something that we haven't seen from these guys in the past but I do, I believe in Harbaugh and I've seen what he's done in other places, just like Boss Ross and Marty he gets players to play at a higher level than previous coaches did...
We've seen coaches move Tackles to Guard in the past and it either blows up in their faces or they blossom in their new role, I'm rooting for Trey to live up to what this new staff sees and wants to unlock in him...he's a good kid and he hasn't bitched at all about being moved to guard plus he has a strong work ethic, we've seen the will from the player to improve and the results of that improvement, the tools have always been there, now we get to see what real coaching does for a guy like Trey..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.
