I still say the reasons he might succeed translate just as well to OT as they do to OG.
And the reasons he failed at OT (hand-placement and functional strength, IMO) are just as big a problem at OG as they are at OT.
He was just asked to do too much, too soon playing OT. It isn't that he translates better to Guard than Tackle. It's that he's really damn raw and Guard is easier.
I really hope we don't give up on him at OT.
And I'd also caution against just assuming he'll lock down the OG job. He may STILL not be ready to start.
And if that's the case, I'd guess that Morris or even Nourzad get a look at the position ahead of Caliendo.
