jczxohn1 said:Neal/ O'Callahan will be rotated, IMO. Neal's strength is in pulling, pass protection was a problem last year. He will probably start, O'C may become part of a short-ydg, goal-line Jumbo pkg, possibly with Britt. As the season rolls on, he may be in on obvious passing downs if he seems better than Neal in pass protection. Neal may well improve, last yr was only his 2nd as a full time starter.
I like your goal-line scenario, except that it would mean activating an awful lot of tackles for the game. Right now O'Callaghan is a monster run blocker but very raw in pass protection, and has never played guard (or, I believe, LT) at any level. Tucker and even Britt offer a little more position versatility, which is what you like to see in a gameday backup.
I guess you could use O'Callaghan as the RG/RT backup, swinging Kaczur from RT to LT in case of injury to Light...nervewracking, though.
