Steve McKinney may move to left guard

[Ziachild007]

The Texans are now considering moving Steve McKinney, a three year starter at center to left guard. This along with the uncertainty about where Chester Pitts and Seth Wand are going to play, causes some concern about their line, IMO. I understand that they are trying to get the best 5 guys on the field, but I think there is something to be said for continuity and gelling together for more than one year, before scrambling it all up again. Whether they get things fixed on the O-line or not could play a big part in not only the success of the team this year, but also the fantasy numbers of David Carr/Andre Johnson and Domanick Davis.

Can't say I'd be really worried about McKinney. He switched to center when he got to Houston from guard so he's got plenty of left guard experience (College and Pro)

Yeah, him making a switch is not what worries me, but the fact that I feel a good line is made up of guys who played with their linemates enough to have an unspoken connection. What worries me is with all of the shifts they wont ever get to this point.

I was surprised when the Texans moved him to center, 'cause he was a darn fine guard with the Colts. He pulled really well. It's probably a good move.
