Schneider mentioned the possibility that Fant could play RT. Carroll said a few weeks ago that it's possible Fant could be ready to return for the start of training camp.
If Fant could win the starting RT job, that would be HUGE for the offensive line. Fant is a really talented athlete and a physical blocker. He plays like a guy who likes to hit.
Using Fant at RT would also allow Ifedi to move back to his more natural RG position, where his north-south explosiveness would be more of an asset. Ifedi cost the team a ton of false start and holding penalties because he's not quick enough to block outside speed rushers.
I also prefer D.J. Fluker at RT, as opposed to RG, because his length and footwork is so solid on the outside. Fluker's grades at tackle have been better than at guard. But I don't get the impression that will happen, given that Mike Solari used Fluker at RG last season with the Giants.
