The LG position: Quinton Spain/Ike Boettger/ Wyatt Teller

[TigerJ]

I think Bates graded out pretty well at left tackle in the game after grading out well at center in the Panthers game.  If he can play center and tackle, it's hard to imagine that he could not play guard too..  That kind of versatility could make him very hard to cut.

Bates is a lock.

If Spain can't go soon, and presuming Morse is taken out of the bubble-wrap for the opener, I would suspect that Felliciano will slide over to LG. He has been rock solid in the three games--I think they find a place for him in the starting line-up.

Only think I noticed with Feliciano was a couple of high snaps. But otherwise very solid.

Not sure yet how bad Spain’s injury is but found it interesting that Ike Boettger,  not Wyatt Teller, replaces him at LG when he went out last night. Spain was begging Bobby Johnson to go back in before the cart came out, so hard to say what the extent of the injury is. Even though he left in a walking boot, that’s common to take precaution. 

 

If he can’t go week 1 (and he hasn’t been very good anyway... ) does Boettger (a former UDFa) get the nod over Teller, a 5th rd pick from a year ago? Does teller get cut because he provides zero versatility on the OL (only plays G)? 

 

I would say you were right with your speculation.

Well done YOLO.

Well if Zay Jones doesn't make the team...two good and accurate predictions.

I think the trading of Teller signals Bates makes it
