This is from yesterday, but kind of awesome:

 

[Ross12]

I have a sneaking suspicion they keep one backup for each of the five spots. I have nothing to base that on, but I don't think they're going to rely on a solo swing tackle, solo backup guard or center.

If your starters are Campbell, Wilson, Bradbury, Onwenu, Moses...

Your backup LT is either Jacobs or Lowe; your backup LG is either Wallace or Strange; your backup C is probably Brown; your backup RG is I don't know, probably Sow, but he's been hurt; your backup RT is probably Bryant.

If the backup RG is Sow but he needs more time, they may keep Wallace and Strange with Strange being the temporary backup RG and also third C. Once Sow is healthy, they may have other injuries to contend with, but if they don't, they may cut Strange and put him on the PS. Strange's deal this year is guaranteed anyway so little reason for him to leave mid-season.

Dugger to LB....interesting

I think Bryant is locked. It's a competition between Jacobs and Lowe with Jacobs having had more time out there in camp. I think Brown is locked in too. I'm less sure about the guards.

Question: How do you think Drake Maye did yesterday handling the defensive approach from the Vikings?Mike Vrabel: “I thought he did well. It’s easy to go in the blender when you’re seeing a bunch of this stuff and kind of scrambling, and turning one less-than-favorable play into a real sh—storm. I didn’t see that. "I thought he was able to process. I mean, we didn’t execute all the time, but I didn’t see any panic from him. I thought he was able to communicate and get the things that he wanted, and then hit some plays because of it. When we blocked them, we were able to make some plays.”

Have we heard anything about how the caps are doing at lessening the effects of head injuries?
