Why not more personnel shuffling on the offensive line?

From last night:

>>Sophomore Trey Rutherford, listed as the second right tackle behind Andreas Knappe, got some playing time Saturday in Tyler Samra's spot at right guard. Now he's going to get a lot more time at guard. "He has to play more," Diaco said. "He's tough, strong, fast and quick. He's too good a player to be standing on the sideline watching the game so we need to get him in there at guard." Rutherford (6 feet 5, 300 pounds) played in 10 games as a true freshman and spent a lot of time at guard. Another sophomore, Steve Hashemi (6-6, 286) could see his time increase, too, on the offensive line, Diaco said. Hashem, from Trumbull, would see his time at left guard behind Tommy Hopkins. ... Diaco also confirmed junior offensive lineman Zach Rugg, like wide receiver Dhameer Bradley, is still part of the program but has stepped back to focus on academics. ...<<
 
Without naming names, I'm guessing somewhere between 5-10 underclassmen with eligibility remaining will opt not to return for 2016.
 
For the record, I believe even this is an overstatement

the two deep means nothing for me going forward except the expected starters

remember that we only recently moved Mayala on to the 2-deep and were showing Lucas as a starter!
