Is McQuistan really a better option at LT than Bailey or Bowie? McQuistan doesn't seem quick enough to be a T. Could we slide Breno to LT and have Bailey or Bowie play RT?
Yes, McQuistan is our best guard. He is actually pretty well-rounded. I remember at Weber State (where he played college ball, I walked on when he was going into his senior year) They would use Paul and Pat McQuistan all over the line. Depending on the team we were playing. I remember Idaho State having strong pass rushers on the weak side, so coach Mac moved the McQuistan brothers from RG and RT, to LT and LG [
swapping a line around like this is pretty much only possible in FCS NCAA ball]. The crazy thing here, Pat was the RT but he played LG against Idaho State and Paul played LT. Not sure why this was done. I think it was simply to showcase their talent, as a lot of NFL scouts were coming to our games to check them out during their senior year. Scouts show up thinking they're scouting a good FCS level RG and RT, only too see them not only on the other end of the line but at swapped positions as well.. It impressed enough to get them drafted at least.
Its rare to have a Weber State Wildcat drafted into the NFL. Therefore it was important to show how versatile the McQuistan's were on the line. Paul has only played guard in his professional career, but i'm positive he can play LT, at least decently. He has MUCH more experience than Bailey and Bowie, he knows Cable's blocking scheme better than anyone on the line too.
