Comments:
Things are settling out on the interior. Chris Barker and Tre Jackson are gone. David Andrews got a 3 year extension. James Ferentz (C) is a long shot, but plays our thinnest position, center. He’s all there is behind Andrews/Karras, unless you view Mason/Thuney as emergency options. Douglas and Farris appear to have ascended to potential backup guards.

Where did all these tackles come from? Vollmer retired, but otherwise Solder, Cannon, Fleming, and Waddle are all back. Joined by Croston, Garcia, Jelks, McDermott, and Rich. That’s 9 tackles. 9 tackles!!!

Andrew Jelks
