George Fant did a little bit of preparing to play right tackle in the spring, when he was still recovering from ACL surgery and was limited to practicing some of his steps at less than full speed.
So when Pete Carroll said Tuesday that moving Fant to right tackle this week was part of the larger plan all along, there’s some evidence to back that up.
Still, the struggles of Germain Ifedi Saturday night against the Chargers in Carson, Calif., made it an especially good time to move Fant, who until now had been largely used at left tackle but in Tuesday’s practice appeared to be used almost solely on the right side.
