At this point I'm betting Smith starts vs Washington.
Hopefully he turns out to be as much of a 4th round steal for the OL this year, as Geno Atkins was for the DL back in 2010.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

No reason not to. See how he stands up against #1s.

They deserve it evidently. Good job. Reward the players playing the best.

Hell, I’ll settle for a Clint Boling type find in the 4th.

Glad things keep moving in the right direction. But I just read that this "probably deepest ball we've seen in camp" to C.J was for 25yds. I'm off the ledge now and I'm not going back and I'm sure we'll be fine. But 25yds is the deepest ball in camp? Crazy

Rapien said it was 45 yards.

Yep. Hoard confirms that here.

Okay I just saw that post and then when I read Hobson's camp update he mentioned it and said it was 25yds. Hopefully our longest pass isn't 25yds. But either way things are trending up.

Him retiring was a big blow to the offensive line as well.

Honestly, it looks closer to 25 then 45 from that clip. But I wasn't there and it could just be the angle.

Is there video of his pass to Uzomah? That video was to Stanley Morgan.

No. James Rapien said it was during the media non video portion of practice.

Might make it easier to keep him around actually if they can stash him on IR for the season.

Why is the competition between Spain and Smith.? Don’t understand why one can’t slide over to the other guard position. If they’re the two best guards right now then let them both play.
