Unpopular take: There *might* be an olineman who did a nice job but went unnoticed because he was surrounded by turnstiles. It'd take some film review to spot that though.
None of those made much impact either way IMO. All probably should make it other than possibly Ekuale.
Better question is which O-lineman played his way off the roster
OK, for the LAST TIME.Sow and Andrews might be cut and stashed in PS . I don't think anyone would claim them.
That's quite a lot of positives for the first ore-season game. As Zuma posted, Barringer should be included.Who helped their case?
Keion White - gets the game ball
Daniel Eukale - despite the flags, he cemented a spot on the 53
Jalen Mills - our new FS
Brice Barringer - booming punts, despite the shank
Tyquan Thornton - still shows promise
Malik Cunningham - made a strong argument that he's a keeper
James Ferentz - demonstrated the need for ol depth and versatility

With the exception of Cunningham and Baringer, who I did mention, are what I consider locks to make the 53... Nothing from last night disabused me from that thought.That's quite a lot of positives for the first ore-season game. As Zuma posted, Barringer should be included.
This year might be an exception due to a loaded and depp rookie class. The 4th round positions should not matter. Rookie class is outperforming significantly.OK, for the LAST TIME.
A rookie 4th rounder has never been waived before the cut-down.
Ferentz ... Is a depth piece... Who will make this roster... His short comings are better disguised when playing as a sub for the 1s... But make no mistake, he's going to be on the roster this year... Might start on the ps to allow for some wiggle room on the 53, but in the end he'll be backWhite and Mills weren't in much danger of not making the 53. Thornton was *probably* not in much danger either, but who knows.
Also...
I don't want to put words in your mouth bro but it seems you're implying Ferentz played like a capable NFL offensive lineman.
Without the benefit of film review, I'd say it's more likely he demonstrated why we need OL depth/versatility/talent by displaying none of those things.
Good player. Think you are right.I'd throw Jennings in the mix as well. Not sure how much danger he was in (he played 30+% of the snaps last year), but he definitely wasn't a lock coming in. I thought he showed well last night though.

Didn't want to give you false hopesJust burying that dagger in mah heart with impunity
Where I'll agree was because of two data points. One, wasn't this the most draft picks BB has ever used in a year (I think so) and add to that two, conventional wisdom said he didn't plan on doing so (trying to use some as trade leverage but wasn't enough return on investment or interested trade partners). That could put 4th rounders at risk this year all other variables being equal.The 4th round position be damned
