I wasn't assuming anything SUM, I only mentioned Jones because I thought he might be part of the response you just made, not because you mentioned him originally. My bad if you took it that way. I was just anticipating a possible answer. Moving on to the next point.Sum1BTRthnU with this answer:
Well, I wasn't making a case for Saffold against Jones. I was only speaking specifically of Saffold. I have no reason to believe Jones couldn't play LG or RG.
You asked why people are projecting Saffold to LG...I explained why. Don't assume what I haven't said.

@ShaneGmoSTLRams Rams see him as a left guard.
Word is the Raiders plan was to play Rodger Saffold at left guard and have Menelik Watson at left tackle. Saffold will be LG for Rams
No typo.
I think you are worrying over something minor. Saffold has played on the left side of the line most of his career. I don't see a problem just because he will be playing guard.
I did see that tweet and it doesn't say that the RAMS are planning to move him to LOG. "Word is", especially when we're talking about another team means nothing to me because it's basically just an unverified rumor. The PD has an article, written by either Thomas, Gordon or Bernie that says it is unclear where the Raiders planned to use him. So yeah, no typo but it has a huge lack of believability too. At least for me. Which is what I said. I never doubted for a second that there was a tweet that said that. Not when you said there was.
I'm not worrying about it SUM, I just don't understand why anyone has him penciled in at LOG instead of ROG. It still makes no sense. As for you not seeing a problem with him playing LOG, again I will direct you to the conversation we had about this subject earlier and Saffold's own words concerning where he wants to play.
Look what Shane has to say cuase it says it all for me:
