martin played tackle in college and did it well in relief earlier this year. he isn't ever gonna be the weak link.
the question was mcgovern at rg or steele at rt, which is the better option...
Right, and the answer appears to have been Steele earlier in the season.
I don't think this is a case of not knowing that Martin was the best answer at right tackle, but more of what was the best combination of players. I'm not sure why they were down on McGovern at the beginning of the year., whether he was just behind coming off injury, was struggling or was injured.
All of those pointing this out to be a no-duh move aren't accounting for all the shifting parts we've had on the line. To me, this move is more about McGovern's progress than Martin being clearly better than Steele.
