I don't follow?

It makes perfect sense for Polumbus, Willie Smith and Maurice Hurt to compete at RT as opposed to Compton.
Mr.Glass brittle hips all but guarantees that the back-up RT will start/play in a fair share of games if not become the opening day starter.
And unlike Compton; Tyler, Willie and Mau all know this ZBS scheme and have played/started in actual NFL games.

I don't see how/why grooming Compton as Trent William's back-up says anything about whether 'Trent really is our guy'.
