Fair point. I was having an old man mental lapse and thinking it was the reverse - that he would get more against Watt in the RT position. Doh!

Yeah, I get this and, in intra-squad practices, it makes perfect sense. On the other hand, this would be Scherff's only chance to work at RT (other than some preseason game snaps) to work against NFL players he doesn't see every day. To me, it is very valuable practice time and, given the original plan to start him at RT, and to me, it would seem more important to get him the reps at RT against these guys. Maybe a few series / plays / whatever at RG but, if he is to be a day one RT starter, get him as many snaps as possible at RT against non-Skins to prep him for his first NFL start.
Ultimately, still plenty of time in preseason to do so. I just find it odd that he would come out of the gate at RG in the inter-squad practice. I am betting that, for the last round against the Texans, Scherff will be at RT. If he is not, I would suggest that the way they envisioned the line has changed in the last few days. Not saying that's a bad thing in any way. Just interesting.
Just watching the two (and, again, I know it is completely unscientific), Moses just
looks the part of tackle - long, big wing span. If his technique continues to improve and is consistent, he has the physical tools to be a good to very good RT.

Yup. 100% agree.
