I think we'll sign at least one of them. |

Re: Free-agent spotlight: C Brian de la Puente
We would still have Evens and Grubbs? Add a stud C. We have a Armstead protecting the blind side. That leaves Strief position which is questionable without a contract? Any FA avalible ?? Thats where Grubbs come from and has played well enough?

Harris is more than prepared for the RT spot; he did well against NE and has been in the offense for 3 years. Lelito played the entire preseason at center and although he was awful as a guard he should have some experience at center. We are going to have a cheap line this year, but cheap means young and athletic. I predict a better running game making the PA pass more of a threat which will make our offense look like 2011 all over again. |
