It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Andrews is practicing, not sure how many reps, but I did see a blurb on twitter that he and Mafi popped during line drills today (pretty sure that it was from Dakota Randall of NESN, but I'm too lazy to double check).Has Jake Andrews been practicing? Unless he goes to IR, he will be our backup center.
Has he gotten lots of reps? It seems that he is likely to be our 4th (usually inactive) OT.
There’s not really much to say right now other than participation (JAndrews backup RG, Sow backup RT) and the good 1 on 1 reps from each today. We’ll know a lot more after next week’s game.
3rd hand reports?Sometimes the certainty around here, based on third hand reports of a few minutes of practice, are like "Name That Tune" where people compete to name a song in as few notes as possible.
For example, I can tell you right now which lineman will make the 53 based on how they walked coming onto the field today.
3rd hand reports?
OG/OC (5)
We are keeping our starters at year's end.
We are keeping 4th round draftee Andrews (we always do)
We drafted 5th rounder Mafi to make the team as the swing OG. IMO, he is a better choice than Russey, Murray and Hines.
We have choices if Onwenu starts on the PUP list.
OT (4)
Brown is making the 53.
Reiff and Anderson are being well paid to make the 53 (or retire or make the NFI list). McDermott is the alternative.
Sow is the #4 OT (4th rounders always make the 53)
=============
IMO, the key is that Sow is an OT, and we won't be keeping FIVE OT's.
I feel keeping 10 OT might be the case for this year. Steuber or McDermott might make it as 10th offensive lineman. Hines and Russey unfortunately are just camp bodies unless injuries pile up.Yup, that all seems rational, based on a range of factors.
so, you are suggesting carrying 5 OT's?I feel keeping 10 OT might be the case for this year. Steuber or McDermott might make it as 10th offensive lineman. Hines and Russey unfortunately are just camp bodies unless injuries pile up.
That's right I was referring to 10 OL with 5 OT. 3 veterans + McDermott/ steuber + Sowso, you are suggesting carrying 5 OT's?
Reiff may not make the 53, he has zero mobility. Could be a camp retirement situation.
No idea, he just seems to be only a run blocker at this point. Guys are running around him with ease. That amount of money shouldn't stop him from getting cut. We'll see, the health of Anderson may open up a spot, unless he gets beat out by McD and Steuber.He has 3 million guaranteed . Why will he take retirement . Is there any thing in his contract which will allow us to cut him ?
you make more sense. I don't see Anderson on the 53 at the start or ever. I see Brown, Strange, M Andrews, Onwenu, McDermott. No all stars but at the end of the year they were doing fine (IMO). It's a crap shoot with the interior backups. Mafi may have the best chance. Good that most of them have had opportunities as starters in camp. I think Hines may falter based on injuries. So several OL should end up on the practice squad. If Steuber or Sow show any real promise, Reiff might be a cut. I would be okay with that. If he isn't good enough to replace McDermott, then keep the younger player.3rd hand reports?

I'd like to see Anderson before making a call on him. I think if McDermott gets cut, he's getting snagged by a OT needy team. I think Reiff gets cut unless Anderson never makes it on the field.you make more sense. I don't see Anderson on the 53 at the start or ever. I see Brown, Strange, M Andrews, Onwenu, McDermott.

There is an issue between the team and posters here.Can we trade reiff to OT needy team there so that our loss is around 2-2.5 million instead of 4 million.
