As a aspiring coach. I can tell you it is a combination of things. 1st the blind side. because when you are in your drop, and your right handed your blind side is the left because your body opens up to the right. 2nd the reason that the better pass rushers are on the left is because usually the TE is on the right, especially if the Quarterback is right handed for obvious reasons. Why put your best pass rusher up against potential double team? For further sake of arguement T's are just like any other position in the NFL. regardless of what hand your QB is a LT is going to stay on the left side and a RT will stay on the right. They pretty much do not swap. As a norm the LT is usually the better tackle. Question: did we flip Chris Samuels and Jon Jansen when Brunell was in? No we didn't.
