Coach Hue Jackson said the Browns are moving “full speed ahead” with Joel Bitonio at left tackle.

So much for plans “A” through “Y”. The Cleveland Browns are moving forward with plan “Z” in sliding Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio over to left tackle to replace sure-fire hall of famer Joe Thomas.

That’s a very tall task, but one for which coach Hue Jackson believes Bitonio is up to task.

Bitonio played a significant amount of the first-team left tackle snaps for the first time on Wednesday, according to the Akron-Beacon Journal’s Nate Ulrich.

Although Shon Coleman has received some first-team LT reps today, Joel Bitonio has been at LT with the ones for the vast majority of today’s practice.
