Summary
The Detroit Lions are switching Penei Sewell’s position from right tackle to left tackle, a move that requires muscle memory and can be challenging for an offensive lineman. Sewell has been an All-Pro three times and selected to the Pro Bowl four times in his first five seasons. He is expected to have a seamless transition, according to coach Dan Campbell, who believes Sewell’s experience playing left tackle in college and for the Lions in 2021 will help him adjust.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Sewell’s been doing just fine on the right side, but now he’s got to flip it.
Left tackle, right tackle, who cares? It’s all the same, except when it’s not.
Seamless transition, Campbell says, but we’ve seen this before.
This one feels like a “learning moment” for Sewell, and for fans, it’s déjà vu all over again.
Original Observation: The result isn’t surprising by the end, as the Lions continue to tinker with their line, hoping to find the right fit.
