"He’s kind of proven it in practice. We’re confident that he’s going to continue to grow."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement that he is ready to start, is it?

Maybe a realistic assesment of his growing skillset?

Agreed, but does that mean he is ready to seriously compete for a starting OT position or not?

I’m thinking after a solid round of OTA’s, a good pre-season and being a rotational OT until the bye week, yes.

soooooo.....what do we do until then?

I don’t like Walker at LT, so that means he has to beat out Chambers at LT or Walker at RT. Not likely, IMO.

I say rotate Chambers and Bell at LT and keep Walker at RT. Chambers played pretty well at LT late last year, work him and Bell at LT and we should be fine. Not as good as when Peters was there, but it would be pretty good.

Maybe in the Preseason when Edwards in not playing.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have Bell work at LT when Edwards isn’t on the field during the pre-season, just to gauge how well he can handle himself.

I’m honestly hoping that he surprises us, but I’m not holding my breath either.
