If Thuney isn't a starting OG, he can be considered the 8th OL, including the role as the 4th OT, and 5th interior lineman.
OT (3) Solder, Vollmer, Waddle or Cannon
C (1) Stork or Andrews
G (3) choose three, one of whom needs to be able to be the backup center
G/T (1) Thuney
With God, all things are possible, so sure, maybe they'll only need 8 OL. However, with the injury history of this group, going with 8 is probably not viable.
Interesting post, let me give my take on the locks and why.
LOCKS:
BATTLES:
- (1) Solder and (2) Vollmer, no brainer locks unless Vollmer retires or is put on IR.
- (3) Thunk, 3rd round draft pick in rookie year, plus he offers unprecedented versatility
- (4) Mason, I think he showed enough last year that I can't imagine him being cut
- (5) Stork, played great rookie year, then put on IR most of last year (concussion). I think he is a lock unless he retires due to concussions (he had concussions in college in addition to his IR last year)
- (6) One of Waddle or Cannon for backup OT (unless Thuney dazzles early)
- (7,8, 9) Three of Jackson, Cooper, Kline, Karras, Andrews, with Jackson most likely to stick (showed some promise as a rookie).
OT: Solder, Volmer, Waddle
OG: Cooper ( can play C), Mason, Karras, Jackson
OC: Stork
OL: Thuney
No way they go with only 8 lineman, specially after 2015.
With 3 QBs they have to trim someplace. Not sure OL is the best place though.
OT (3) Solder, Vollmer, Waddle
C (2) Stork, Andrews
G (5) Cooper, Mason, Jackson, Thuney, Karras
