You bring him in and move him to RT ask him to learn and adjust to that as a rookie then you want him the next season to forget everything he learned at RT and move him back to LT. Maybe I'm just overthinking this but I just don't think this is the best move right now. But I have faith in Reid that he knows what he's doing so we shall see.
I'm not too worried about it. Last year he was playing a position that he never played before. Offensive tackles have to react instantly and instinctively as soon as the ball is snapped and they have to know and be comfortable with what the guard next to them and even the center is going to do.
He doesn't have that same issue of unfamiliarity moving to the left side. It's a position he has a lot of experience with. And he already knows the playbook which was also new to him last year regardless of whether he played RT or LT.
There will be an adjustment period, to be sure, but it should be a lot easier to go back to a position he knows than it was to go to a position he didn't know for the first time. He will have all of training camp and 4 preseason games to work the bugs out. He should start out the season at least as well as he finished last season at RT and get better as the season goes on.
