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

start with an interior of AVT, Wilson and Onwenu is very, very good
Agreed, when healthy.
Brown has been a very competent fill in along the interior the past 2 seasons
"Very" might be a tad strong, but somewhere close to it. The question is always can they improve or get better.
He should be back in 4-6 weeks from what I saw
Agreed, a month or so.
Hudson is someone who could surprise.
Nah, the NFL needs to give up on the ghost of Hudson.
There is some concern with depth, but really we are talking about the 5th or maybe even 6th man up.
There is a concern at backup center immediately.

They need Rizy or Joe Michalski to get good really fast.
I would also venture to guess that Campbell, Lomu, Bryant and if Crownover is on the team, do not see a single snap at OG between all of them
We're talking about depth and injury.

If a starting guard suffers an injury, Lomu or Campbell will likely play some guard, unless they add someone.

Lomu will be active on game day with the 6th lineman role, it will probably be him.

Bryant and Crownover are strictly tackles I'd think.
 
I have more concerns with ILB, CB and TE than IOL, assuming Brown is back
TE obviously.

Both rookie ILB's (Obi & Jacobs) have had bright spots and looked decent in vanilla preseason scheme. Time and competition will sort this out.

CB looks deep with Kindle Vildor, Karon Prunty, Kenneth Harris and Channing Canada all playing well in spurts and increasing the level of competition. They need to fade Woods.

The rookies need to get more consistent and develop, but Vildor and Prunty look like they can contribute now.
 
Bryant and Crownover are strictly tackles I'd think.
Crownover for sure. He's tall and athletic but he's a bit thin. He's a super-sized TE.
 
I guess my only response to that would be that I don't really know who you think they could sign? Obviously, this time of year, there aren't many of those available because they're all in camp.
UDFA's, projects... bring them all in, they're cheap.

If they don't have an answer at center before game one, it might be an elderly person.
 
Crownover for sure. He's tall and athletic but he's a bit thin. He's a super-sized TE.
I don't think Bryant or Crownover have the agility or build for guard.

They're certainly not as mobile as Lomu or Rizy, Marcus might also be a better offensive tackle at this point.

He's been here for a year already and gotten stronger. I don't think they'll rush to start Lomu.
 
I don't think Bryant or Crownover have the agility or build for guard.
That's my point. You argue so much...it's hard to tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing.
