Don't expect much. Based on what I've seen over the years, barely any better. Hopefully he never has to play.

Hopefully some team decides to cut a decent swing tackle before the season starts

Coach wanted a vet OL to be the swing OT after Coleman's injury...Young's that guy and I wish him well. He's got experience at both OT positions, so should have a shot to make the final roster. There'll undoubtedly also be some decent vets cut in the upcoming weeks, so we'll see who ends up being the swing OT.

You can't blame the FO for this one. Coleman is a solid T who we've been developing for 2 years in this system. You can question his overall talent should he have to play in place of either Staley or McGlinchey but not the plan. He's a big loss and we're paper thin now.

At least we have two sheets of paper.

Oh, sheeeet! That's not so good, is it?

We're number two on the waiver wire list. It ain't over.

That's what I'm hoping for on 53 man cutdown day.

Who gets blocked into him? Najee Toran. That whole play was a dumpster fire.

But PFF said he was our 5th best player. LMAO

I like this kind of optimism.

He's one of my favorite tackles at Notre Dame. I don't know why his career wasn't better than it is right now.

He was a top T prospect coming out of HS. He wasn't ever consistent enough at ND. Never quite lived up to his billing in college.

This. Young could easily be unemployed again. May not be that likely though. Peter King said today that there are exactly 32 teams looking for a swing tackle.
