Years before teams would take guards and centers lower and then develop them as years went by. That’s not happening as much now. Partially why Grigson’s dated philosophy on building oline didn’t and doesn’t work now.
Howard Mudd would take starters and move them in practice and insert back ups in their place. You make time in practice so guys step in and play. You make it part of your daily plan. You plan for the worst, you hope for the best
