I think they start Braxton and probably keep Wills as the backup. With Theo the backup at RT for Wright, they will keep 4 Ts on the 53. When Ozzy is ready, probably 3-4 games into the season, not sure who gets tossed? Kiran will be odd man out but he will be picked up if let go. His measurables is hard to find.

I went to the game yesterday. Was raining until game start and then quit and started again when the game ended. Being live, Kaden Davie, Ahmad, and Lynch names were mentioned a lot. Bagent didnt look good but Keenum was smooth as butter. Ahmad stuck out but is more of a scat back type to me, but Johnson was very reliable but not spectacular. Johnson plays STs so that may give him the upper hand. As a third back, who would fit that spot better? One of the RBs will be on the practice squad so probably Johnson gets the nod? I think our DL looked pretty good and definitely the LBers were all over the field. I suspect we are a lot better against the run this year. If you look at stats Gallimore played well and Kromah was a stud. 2 sacks and a FF . He moves very well, could he be a outside shot at the rotation at DE? At LT, neither stuck out to me, I think there is no doubt Braxton will be the starter.

Like AZ said, the year Swift has will determine whether he comes back. BJ likes him and he fits the system well. It will come down to money. Any new money being given out in the NFL is big money, so he would have to not bargain for a big contract. I would have no problem paying him what he makes now, but RB is a spot you could go cheaper in to help with the Cap.

Works for me. Do we still have the two keeper thing.

We have to give Poles credit for finding players . It has yet to happen, but prospects look good that this was a huge pickup. Last year he brought in DuShon Wright that was a huge add. He misses on 3 rd picks but has built this team. You cant take that away from him. He said when hired it would take 5 years. He is now in his fifth year. I think we could see a run to the SB, it may be a year away. It has done a great job. He will be remember for BJ and Caleb, not how many misses he had on draft picks. Its all about building the roster, and he did it his way.

Those things matter but this is all I need to know.

The only local press guy I have any trust in is Brad Biggs, he usually doesnt get caught up in rumors or at least checks out statements other pundits puts out there.

I read where in coming back early , it gives him a chance to get some reps in. During the season when a player comes back , he doesnt get the same practice time in as TC. They are working on preping for the next game. It doesnt sound like he will be ready for the first game but means they probably keep him on the roster and may be available after a few weeks in. That all sounds good Bryant probably wont be playing all year. At least now we can add some bodies. Also heard where VDB could actually make the rotation on the DL. That would be a nice surprise for 6th round pick.

They may have him on the 53 so he can work back to when he can get ready. Its great to have problems with several above average players on the line for a change. BJ working the schemes and Roushar has to be a good coach to have these results. We have several OGs that look good and two starter type Cs on the roster. The best OL group over the last ten years.

I always think we should keep people for depth if we are serious into a SB run but if Willis, Kiran, and Ozzy back early in the season, the room is way to crowded. Now I think Braxton is the best one in the room but 4 LTs that show signs they can play, causes me to think stupid thoughts like we could trade and a descent pick back.

Everyone's body is different, the average is a number, I think its possible he goes on the pup list and then would he be ready to go 6 weeks into the season?

So far, the only long type injury is Coby Bryant but most of the injuries arent serious as presented. Washington lost Tunsel, I hate to even say this, but with good vibes coming from Willis and Kiran, could we get a decent return on Braxton Jones in a trade? I am noted for thinking we need to keep everyone to make a SB run but if all the LTs look doable, why not? Theo seems to be the backup at RT, there will be one extra body at LT if all show well. What do you think we could get? A 4th round pick? or am I dreaming?

Jayden Loving is getting his name mentioned, if would be nice if another UDFA gave us something. With all the bodies in the room, probably a PS member if he continues.

Herb Howard has been around for awhile but this is the first year I noticed him because he is getting more facetime on the circuit. Being an optimist, I like both him and Clay, besides good insight, they are very positive about the season. When you look at players, you can see what is going wrong and what is going right. Since both occupy the same space, let hope define the talk.

Last year was the same kind of questions with not knowing how BJ and Roushar would mold the whole OL. This year we have less questions than last year and now know both OL and OC can scheme around with an average LT.
