Should the Revolution Move Andrew Farrell to Right Back?

The Revolution need a starting right back. Could help come from the center back position?

Ahead of the 2016 season, the Revolution need support along the back line. One solution—by now familiar to Revolution supporters—would come from moving Andrew Farrell to his natural right back position.

After switching to center back to accommodate the departure of A.J Soares, Farrell only needed a handful of matches to get on the same page as partner Jose Goncalves. He ultimately put together a season worthy of team Defender of the Year honors. Now in need of defensive depth—and a bona fide starter at right back—Head Coach Jay Heaps has a decision to make.
