Is it time to sign a backup veteran IOL or two!!!

Just trade for a conditional 2033 7th for Quinn Meinerz & be done with it..

He should've been a Patriot all this time anyway, same as AJB.

Crownover for sure. He's tall and athletic but he's a bit thin. He's a super-sized TE.

Ummm, he's not thin.

Yes I did watch the game and Prunty/Vidor looked good. Plus Woods who was ok last year did not play.

I don't care if Canada, Crossley or any others looked bad. There's at least 2-3 decent backups IMO.

How much deeper do teams go?

Vildor did Not look good. That was a lucky pick.

Charlie Woods sucks. Absolutely, positively Sucks. As do Canada, Crossley and All the others.

When Bill reached for pick, we didn't say that he was lucky when he followed his own intelligence instead of the mediots. Vrabel will miss in the future on a reach. Let's give him credit this time.

We are talking about Hudson who I've read hasn't ever played the position, as the 1st backup into the season.

And who is backup center?

Hudson getting snaps at right guard and providing back up cover on the 53 would seem to be good solution for a vet back up. Except as you say all of his 1400 nfl snaps are at tackle, he's never played guard before. Also all the reports coming out of both practice and the Colts preseason game are pretty negative suggesting he has struggled at guard so far.

Butler seems to be making the most of his opportunity and running with the 2s, but all his college experience and camp reps are at left guard. It'll be interesting if they try a few practices on the right,l. I'm not sure if there are any reports of that happening yet?

Back up right guard appears to be an issue at this moment in time.

Not any more. According to his Wikipedia page Van Roten plays center as well as both guard positions, and started at right guard a lot. Like, multiple seasons as a starting right guard. He’s now our top backup at all three IOL positions, I’d say.
