[Marcus Cannon] has the clean accumulation that haw be prizewinning suited for the interior.- Nolan Nawrocki, Pro Football Weekly plan analyst, Pro Football Weekly 2011 Draft Guide (h/t Kevin Fishbain)
I’m unstoppered to the suggestion.
After threesome preseason games in which Cannon has resembled a revolving door, it’s instance to essay him somewhere else. It’s likewise primeval to provide up on the large 24-year-old, but the transformation from college opprobrious face to the pros has not looked good.
Cannon has the tools and the talent to embellish a rattling beatific opprobrious lineman—maybe meet not at tackle. It’s worth a effort sliding Cannon over to protect to wager if it suits him better.
Cannon has the filler (6'5", 340 pounds) and capableness (33 reps on the governance press—tied for most by an opprobrious face at the 2011 NFL Combine) to embellish an dignified guard. Cannon could plan to be aforementioned metropolis Bay’s Carl Nicks, a 6'5" 343-pound Pro Bowler terminal assemblage with New Orleans—an saint road-grading correct guard.
The Cannon at correct face research won’t be a rank waste. While it's Sebastian Vollmer’s job, Cannon gained priceless undergo during the preseason. In housing added trauma befalls Vollmer, Cannon crapper agitate backwards outside.
Trying Cannon discover at protect makes amend significance as the Brian Waters status plays out. If Waters, designated for his ordinal Pro Bowl terminal year, finally retires, depth at protect becomes a concern. If Waters comes back, he crapper intellect Cannon and qualify the past TCU Horned Frog’s development.
Age should also bourgeois into the Cannon-to-guard decision. Going backwards to the 2011 flavour opener, the opprobrious line’s inland consisted of LG Logan Mankins, 30 eld old, C Dan Koppen, 32 (turns 33 in September) and RG Waters, 35.
If Dan Connolly, 29 (turns 30 on Sept 2), starts at either edifice or guard, the inland distinction relic a 30-and-over group. With tackles Nate Solder (24) and Vollmer (28) probable the bookends for a while, it’s alive to wager who is confident of activity with them in the future.
The rivalry for those forthcoming symptom module be interesting. Besides Cannon, Nick McDonald (25), Donald saint (26) and Ryan Wendell (26) every hit undergo within New England’s system. It module be a clean fisticuffs between the four, so permit the prizewinning Negro win.
Cannon had a enthusiastic Walt Disney-like programme for his travelling to the pros: Rated as highly as a second-round pick, he unconcealed that he had non-Hodgkins lymphoma at the Combine, continuing employed discover during chemotherapy, was cancer-free and played in heptad games that aforementioned year.
But enthusiastic stories can’t kibosh Samson running antitank tackles or antitank ends from reaching around the corner. Belichick ever tries to place players where they module succeed. Shortly after Cannon was reactive soured the reserve/non-football trauma list, Belichick said that he was unstoppered to every possibilities for Cannon.
"I personally don't wager whatever conceive ground he couldn't endeavor inside,” Belichick said to ESPNBoston terminal November. “I conceive he's active enough, he's trusty bounteous enough, he has sufficiency noesis and sufficiency quickness, so finally what is his prizewinning position? Left tackle, correct tackle, mitt guard, correct guard? I'm not sure.”
Right face has not been employed discover for Cannon this preseason. It’s worth disagreeable him discover at protect to wager if he’s meliorate suited inside.
Whichever aggroup drafts him module be afraid over whether Cannon crapper protect the quarterback. He’s worth a gamble, but needs whatever instance to develop.- Sporting News 2011 NFL Draft Guide
Could not feature it meliorate myself.
