To be fair, this was the context:
Reporter: He's (Talking about Fant) Your Left Tackle Right Now?
Pete: Yeah, he's our left tackle.
There was no statement of Fant being our starter week 1 or anything like that, only that he's our starter right now, which he is. That doesn't mean there won't be competition at the position. Doesn't mean there will be, but it's off season coach speak that really means nothing at all
This is what I got out of it too. There were a few questions on this point and Pete put up the competition motto at all positions. IF we can get better production out of a newby, we will start them. If they can get better production because we brought in competition, then we have done our job.
Me as well. The question is, is the guy or guys they bring in going to be top shelf or middle of the pack. No matter if it is through fa or the draft. Both he and js have said they are bring in vets because they were too young. I'm sure Lt is first on the list. I think, hope, that they saw the errors in their ways with Russ getting hurt a few times last year. Coupled with the lack of running game, it needs to change. The rbs might stay healthy if they don't have to fight so much for every inch. Who knows, with a decent run blocking line, Ac could break out and be a stud. He flashed a few times.
