Great depth on the lines!

[mgteich]

The OL has 11 players
OT: Light,O'Callaghan,Kaczur,Britt
OC: Koppen,Mruczkowski
OG: Mankins,Neal,Hochstein,
PS: Yates, Stevenson

The DL has 9 players
DE: Seymour,Warren,Green,Hill,Wright
DT: Willfork,Sullivan,Smith
PS: Thomas

Any of the three practice players could move up to the active roster without much reduction in talent. They were all close to making the roster.

i agree with the oline depth

but the dline's depth is jus decent
i love j green but hes basically jus a good pass rusher at de
were still waitin to see somthin anything from hill
wright has been very solid

sullivan has always been a disapointment he could be ok as backup, but jury still out
smith, havent even noticed him during the preseason games

Just decent? Three 1st round picks starting on a three man line.

A 1st round pick at backup NT.

Jarvis Green, who has produced in a backup role on a SuperBowl team for a couple of years.

I think most teams in the NFL would consider that somewhat better than "just decent" depth at Dline. Many teams have street free agents for depth.

Remember our D-line depth in 2001. Yeah me neither. The starters for that team would be back ups on this team. I'm just waiting for all this talent to translate to dominance on the field.

I agree, guess this follows the mantra that NFL games are won in the trenches, these guys provide a lot of depth and versatility. OTOH last year when Koppen and Light went down it showed that you can never have enough depth on the line. Our offense is predicated on protecting Brady and our D is dependent on wearing down and clogging the offensive lanes.

Do you know this or is it speculation?
