A very simple Bottom Line on Our OL

[mgteich]

This may be a waste of a thread. It shouldn't be very long.

Barring health issues or retirement, we have a very good seven-man line, certainly good enough for a playoff team.
Campbell, AVT, Wilson, Onwenu, Moses
Lomu, Brown

We can certainly argue about the players beyond the first seven. What a truly GREAT position to be in after only a year and two offseasons!

Between Crownover, Bryant and Hudson we should have an adequate #4 OT.

Solid #5 IOL who can also be #3 OC is only real weakness, IMO

This is tangent to the OL questions. It will be very interesting to see how we arrange the offensive roster. 5 or 6 WR's? 9 or 10 WRs? How many RB's on the roster now that we have brought back the FB as a major position. If we are going with a FB this season, how do we handle the backup position for him. Is he on the roster or is, let's say Lampke, always on the PS, or on the actual roster making us keep 5 or 6 RB's

As you can see there are going to be hard choices for how many people we are going to have to have at each position. I think the OL depth is still so iffy we will should carry 10 but I wonder if we can. Can we really be safe carrying just 3 RB's and 2 FB's, but can we afford to carry 6 RB's. Did we really waste a draft pick by picking a QB in a year when we likely will only carry 2 QBs on the rosters. How many TE's. Sounds like 4 minimum

So, 10 OL, 4 TE's, 6 WR's, 6 RB's 2 QB's That's 28 offensive players IF we are being prudent with our offensive depth and manage to keep our #3 QB on the PS That's leaves us with only 22defensive players if we keep the bare minimum of 3 ST's guys. Clearly that isn't going to work. So we are going to need to drop at LEAST 3 offensive roster spots.
