Keep him on the left side. He could be a valuable backup at both the LG and LT positions while he continues learning.
Adeniji looked OK last year at RT against mediocre competition. He struggled big time against good defenses but right now, I think he is probably the best #2 RT until Collins gets healthy. I dont think we have any better options as Jonah's backup at the moment
Scharping was horrible in the playoffs last year. He looks so-so in the preseason so far. Im not sure what to do with him. He is supposed to be the backup RG but after last year, Im not sure I want him at RG. I dont know about using him at center either. I would be inclined to have Hill as the backup center. I know Gilliam can play center and RG but we havent seen enough of him so Gilliam goes to the PS.
D'Ante Smith looks good at times, not so good other times. I would rather have Carman as the backup LT
Practice squad I would send Brown, Kirkland and Gilliam unless one of them have a breakout final preseason game. I would cut Ford but he will probably be kept at least on the practice squad because he is Orlando Brown's buddy which I think is the only reason he was signed to begin with. Ford is the absolute worst of the guys we have on the O-line.
Adeniji is an OT only though, he is no Guard. Don't want to see them putting Adeniji at Guard again.
Gilliam looked bad in the last game when I watched him. Could be right with Ford lol
