We need a backup swing tackle. That’s Carman, right?

Who's gonna beat him out though? We aren't super deep on the line.

Charlie Weis on Sirius sometime back noted that the backups on the OL have to be able to play multiple positions because you can’t have a backup for each spot. I would say today that Carmen is the swing tackle and a back up guard so his position is secure. Once Collins is healthy and he he shows well it may be a different story - and that assumes no injuries along the way.

Yeah, they need the body, but it sounds like he is still the same old disappointment.

Until Collins is healthy Carman is probably still the best backup on the OL. We aren't any kind of deep, never mind super.

Exactly, our depth on the line is not great as we saw last year and OBJ is all we added. That's why this talk of Collins and Carman getting cut is silly.

... Hmm, we don't even play the New England this season. 🤔  Probably Shittsburgh then.

I don't take much from any of the blocking or OL play in these half-speed practices. It's good that they're executing and in the right spots but they're not really competing. Even the WR/DB battles are pretty nerfed.
