Tucker was a player Marty was very high on last year before he got hurt in the preseason.

Is there no chance he can be improvement over Vickers and win that OG spot?

If I remember correctly Tucker is a Left Tackle. How do the skills required for that position translate to guard?

[Novato]

One thing that I trusted about Marty was his judgment on players, and if he liked what he saw in Tucker, well maybe he'll be allright.

Tucker plays all O-Line positions but he could concentrate on the Guard position from now on.

Also of Rod Jones was moved to LG and all the RG are injured, why not sign B. Coleman again to the vet's minimum?

He is a very solid RG, he might no be as good passblocking than he is run blocking but he looks like our best shot to have a decent inner O-Line.
