It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Still don't know why people thought the best move was to put half of our remaining starters out of position just to "have our best player at LT" (even if that player isn't our best when he's at LT).
Fewer moves is better, so long as you have 5 people who can do the job. But Newhouse looked awful at LT vs. Miami and Thuney looked great there in camp.
If Scar can coach Newhouse up, though, fantastic news.
Develin is likely out. LaCosse also not at practice.So, barring further injuries we have our OL until the bye. Obviously, there can be occasional changes for minor injuries. Cannon might even sit this week.
Newhouse-Thuney-Karras-Mason-Cannon
We have 2 interior linemen (Eluemunor, Ferentz) and two OT's (Benenoch, Cunningham) competing to see who is activated each week. We could certainly see more players trying out to try to upgrade here. A better backup center is a priority; BB has already tried and failed.

As an aside, I would think that there often will be a blocking TE or Develin helping out Newhouse.
So, it will be IzzoDevelin is likely out. LaCosse also not at practice.
ScarOL is def a concern. But, of all the coaches in the League, Scar is in the top 5 of "who you can trust".
The tune changes if Newhouse is awful against the Jets.
Badonkadonk can also play G so I think frentz dats are numbered.So, barring further injuries we have our OL until the bye. Obviously, there can be occasional changes for minor injuries. Cannon might even sit this week.

No. Obviously, there will be folks here that will post that Newhouse was awful, just like last week. Apparently, Dante doesn't value these analyses. Dante thought that Newhouse was so good that he name him the starter until Wynn returns.
Dante will give Newhouse lots of time to learn, lots of time. A week or two or even three or four of poor play, as identified by patsfans posters won't matter much.

Ferentz at this pointBut, who can play center?
Who is the Game Day backup center? If Karras is out for a series, who would come in?
