Not a very good endorsement of the T prospects they have in camp.

Are you speculating on Bruss, or did you see something? I have not seen/read Bruss' name.

From what I just read, this guy's forte is coming off the bench and doing a solid job.

Maybe the Coaches don’t like what they are seeing from the backups at tackle

Mentioned in the other thread he's been cut a few times. Signed to a couple different pratice squads. Most recent cut was April this year. I don't know what he can offer other than experience at 31 years old. He did start the last 5 games last year. Maybe its a scheme fit thing and they can revive his career like with Dotson?

He's a solid depth tackle. Think he was injured, not sure and not gonna try to look it up on my phone. But when he was coming out of UCLA he projected reasonably well for a power/gap type scheme. I really like this addition, because I'm not really sure what to think of McClendon and this is probably Boom's last season. So get him in here, coach him up, and hope he's healthy.

Right now, the 3rd and 4th OTs (Noteboom and McLendon) are the starters, with zero experience behind them.
Since the 3rd Guard (Noteboom) is starting at OT, the 4th Guard (Thomas, Bruss or Leveston) is starting at LG.
Avila could be moved to LG but then McAllister or Limmer start at C; and, neither has ever played an NFL snap.
Yes ... a veteran OT makes a ton of sense ... at least for the next month.
Best case scenario is that all three injured starters are ready for Detroit. If so, the vet OT could be released.

Looks like the Wendell connection played a part. Also seems like McVay wasn't happy with how our backups did vs the Chargers.

Yeah, not a vote of confidence for McClendon. Then again, they are short bodies right now, so they would need more linemen just to give guys a break. Still not looking good for McClendon though.

Somebody has to play OT in the 2nd half of pre-season games. Folks are way over thinking this move
