I don't think there are but a all handful of teams that can go as deep as seven players deep on the offensive line without starting to hit major question marks.

Sure, we can swap out one or two of our deep backups, but there's no guarantee they would even be as good once you put them on the field. At this point is it worth getting rid of players that have been worked with and developed through the full camp just to throw someone else up against a wall just to see if they stick any better?

Yes! I think we can do better. We can always do better. Look at last years depth as compared to this year. We finally have viable backups across the team....just not on the O line. Our season depends on the line staying healthy or having decent backups again. Trade for a player if we need to. If we don't make a move I'll be.....:bugeyes:

I hope you are right, but I seriously doubt it. Offensive line talent is thin across the whole league. They were talking about that a couple of days ago on NFL Radio. I can't see getting anything via trade unless a team is completely out of it and wants to dump a contract. And then only if we need a starter.
