UPDATE: Things change in the NFL quickly. It now looks both Miller and Penn will start with the vet moving to the right side. We will have our thoughts on this later.

Raiders offensive line taking shape, as front-runners emerge for both starting tackle spots
I hope Miller can stay at Left Tackle. Ever try to drive with steering wheel on right side? Everything is flipped. Now try driving fast in thick traffic. It’s nerve racking.
My point is I don’t want Miller flipping. Keep him at one tackle position and let him develop. The counterargument is what about the all critical LT spot, going against elite pass rushers? Yet in today’s NFL, elite rushers are coming from BOTH edges.
If Miller struggles at LT, then Raiders can always move him to RT. Start with him at LT and let’s see how this goes with Miller’s development. Cable is earning his money.
Completely wrong. Penn was garranteed more money to accept the move to RT
