Thanks Pally. Good stuff, man if LC comes back even by midseason we are looking much better depth wise, he is a great run 
blocker when healthy. Expecting Carman to be the starter at RT opening day and be decent at the very least.

We are looking better at OL than we did last year at this time simply because Karras, Cappa, Volson all have chemistry together
now and Carman finally started looking like a good player in the Playoffs. Orlando Brown is an upgrade at LT because he can stay
healthy and is bigger and fits a Gap scheme better than Jonah and doesn't get pushed around.

Might need to give some reps to the starting OL in preseason to have Brown gain chemistry next to Volson though.

When asked about the right tackle competition and Jonah Williams, La’el Collins said, “We all know that’s a part of the business. Everybody goes through the business part at some point. All it is is we’re going to be better and have depth. We’re coming and we ain’t stopping.”

Collins: “It’s not always going to be what you want or whatever the case may be. But at the same time, Jonah is going to be fine. He’s a hell of an NFL player… I got all the confidence in the world in (him)."

"How good does that sound? A deep O-Line, it doesn’t get better."

Nice, saying all the right things, I like Lael, I hope he comes back better than ever.

Awesome, sure hope so, him being lighter will help the healing process.
