I wish Tiller could play center.

How is Kilgore injury prone? He suffered a broken leg. One injury is not enough of a sample size to dub someone "injury prone." There is no reason to believe that he will break his leg again.

Interesting take on OLine.

I think we'll be better.
Kilgore better than Fartin
Beadles better than Boone
Tiller/garnet better than Deavy.
Big question at RT.

good point, OND. I know he is being tried at NT but would not mind seeing him at OC. It would be a hoot if the guy played both ways with getting spelled now and then. Virtually impossible in Chip's up tempo, but still, nice to dream.

I think he's only getting worked at center

He is on the OL, not DL.

I feel the same. I'm hoping Kilgore bulked up this off season b/c even though we'll be running a ZBS a lot, Kelly is all about power on the inside with Beadles - Kilgore - Garnett and if he loses ground, these inside runs will be blown up. And I don't think anybody feels comfortable with Martin backing him up or a converted NT. I feel fine with Brown even if worst case scenario, we have to rotate him from time to time. We have 4 potential players there.

Agree

I'm very interested in how well Colin Kelly plays in TC/PS. He could be the swing tackle. I'm also fairly hopeful, re: Cooper and (to a lesser degree) Theus, as spot work, fill-in guys. We really need Brown to step up at RT, or for Kelly/Cooper to knock some socks off and emerge as the guy. If Brown loses the RT job, be should be fine as a swing tackle, since he'd be unlikely to be called on to take every snap in a game.

If conditioning is the problem then he should be a great spot player...if that is the only reason he loses the job.

I'm w/you on Brown.
Man, if he can lose weight and get into "Kelly-Shape", we'll be doing very well this season.

He sure woulf have and getting Wisniewski would have also been a solid signing at center.
IMO, getting Mitchell Schwartz would have been an excellent pick-up at RT and he's just hitting his prime.
