The Film Room: Is Charlie Heck the Texans Swing Tackle of the Future?

The Texans’ offensive line has been a waterbed under Bill O’Brien’s reign. Centers play guards. Guards play tackle. Each tackle plays left and right. Rarely do the summer ideas stick in the fall. Constantly contorting into something entirely new under the weight of Bill O’Brien’s decisions.

Chris Clark, Kendall Lamm, Julien Davenport each played right and left tackle. Oday Aboushi played both guard spots. Greg Mancz started games at center and each guard position. Remember when Jeff Allen started at left tackle, and played admirably until false sharting three times in a row as the pineapple man opened the gates of hell.
