According to this strib article Stommes is seeing reps at RT in practice and we should see him out there a bit this Saturday.

I've never sat down and watched film of their play but do you think it would be safe to assume that Stommes would be the better fit at LT with his athleticism and Alford at RT with his size? I guess I'm just assuming that Stommes would be the better pass protector and Alford the better run blocker...either way, the coaching staff recognizes that Wills still needs a lot of work and they are trying to find something that works. ...the only thing that bothers me about that is one would have thought with all the potential starters having been practicing since last Jan, they would have had plenty of time to recognize these problems they are having and tried different combinations to come up with the best fit. What do I know though...I'm not at practice everyday watching the guys. Just some random thoughts.
