It remains to be seen.

Which is why I said “if”. Since he’s been going through rehab, I would hope the PT is having him strengthen the appropriate muscles to take load off the ligaments.

Michael Jordan getting 1st team snaps at LG

Staff is considering all options, I know it’s probably been mentioned plenty of times but that’s so fresh to see.

At least they're giving guys shots. Can't say I recall too many things like this happening under the previous coaching staff.

Damn, both of them are on the trading block?  Those rookies must look fantastic.

Thanks! Been reading on here for a long time, but just now starting to post. Josh Malone had the false start & I believe the other looked like Bobby Hart. On the defense it was a couple of the 2nd unit guys. I’ve seen a lot of improvement from Josh Malone. I know it’s just practice, so let’s see if it translates to games. Also, Williams the rookie RB looks really good. Tate has also impressed me as well. I believe Core needs to go to make room for some of these other receivers who are making noise. On defense, both Hubbard & Jordan Willis seem to be improving. I think Hubbard could have a really good year. As far as our LB’s, Vigil looks good.

Must be ML's fault, everything else bad in the past is thrown on him.

One guy in the comments stated that "It didn't look like a block, Geno just pushed him the wrong way".  To that I say, MJ stayed with the play, and kept his body between Geno and the ball carrier..

Good to see some fresh legs and athleticism at LG.

According to AJ, they weren’t allowed to show up the defense in practice under Marvin. I kinda got that backwards on the first post. But if your not challenging each other, how do you improve?

I'm intrigued by Jordan at LG for a few reasons.
1) He was apparently a really good guard at OSU before having to switch to center.
2) It's not like we have anyone proven at the position.
3) He's played next to Price before so I'd hope there is some chemistry there.

Geno won that rep but that's to be expected...even thr best guards in football would have trouble reach blocking Geno Atkins.

I must say it is refreshing to see coaching staff give players a chance to win a spot.  May the best player win the job.  I remember not to far in the past that there were coaches favorites and true competition as limited by other factors.  At least the is the way it appeared to the average fan.

This is Morgan who I kept mixing up with Willis. He looks stocky and fast.

It seems to truly be an open competition between Westerman, Jerry, and Jordan. We can't yet determine who will claim the job.
We'll see who ends up taking the majority of the snaps with the 1st team offense in Week 3 of Preseason. That person will likely be the starter come Week 1 of the regular season.
