I suggest that we might carry 10-11 OL's: 8 on the 53 and 2-3 on the Practice Squad.
We have our starters and Cannon as a Game Day backup. That makes 6.
We have McDonald, Zusevcis, and Svitek. Do we NEED all 3 on the 53 man roster? I would suggest that we would be fine with Zusevics OR Svitek. We don't need 5 OT's on the 53.
The BOTTOM LINE is that we never replaced Thomas. Perhaps, the conclusion should be that we need to add a veteran OG. To me, counting Cannon as an OG just so that we can carry 4 OT's in addition to Cannon is just plain silly. Cannon may be an OG, but he certainly is a capable backup OT, who can start.
