I'm ok with the competition spot at LG, but they need to commit to a Plan B if they truly want to win a ring.  If nobody steps up at LG, they need to be ready to pickup a cut ver or even trade a late 2023 pick to secure a rental.

I'm interested to see if moving these guys around helps or stunts them.  I understand that some of them have a little experience at other positions, but trying to get the best 5 is a debate.  Smith may end up being a better LG than Carman for instance, but if Smith progresses at tackle and it's a close call they may be better off where they are.

With Karras, Cappa, and Collins, it's just going to be a matter of getting reps together, in order to learn each other.  They're all smart, talented veteran players, they just haven't played together yet.  Hopefully LG gets settled earlier than later in camp, because building communication with Karras and Williams will be of utmost importance.
