Yep for sure! And they’re counting on two guys stepping up out of about six candidates to make sure that happens. Based on the track record Reid and Veach have established I’m not overly concerned that they can’t hit on two decent guards. They’ve earned our trust and that’s just a nice feeling.

I get PFF for WR/QB/RB and to some extent DB. Catches, drops targets etc are fairly easy to quantify.
OL is a totally different animal. Scheme, QB, RB, OL cohesiveness etc all play a big role. |

I doubt it.
At least not right away. Maybe if we have a whole season he will earn a starting role sometime during the year, but being signed a month before the season starts with no offseason or knowledge of the system is far away from being a starter. Iirc. Andy goes with trust before talent on his OL. I guess the flip side is if they had confidence in someone from the current roster to play at a high level at LG, maybe they don’t sign a guy like Osemele. |

He'll start. Reid prefers veterans. This man only had a shoulder injury that the Jets thought he could play through. Only four years removed from being an All-Pro with no injuries to his legs, we don't have an interior linemen close to his pedigree.

Just based on his bio notes, if he's healthy he'll start.

Great LT for Iowa State, briefly was the best guard in the league with Oakland. He’s a few years and injury’s removed from those years, but I think he will do well in our offense. We’ve made less talented guys look good at guard.

It’s silly to predict who will start this Fall when there’s been no OTA’s, no minicamps and no practice since February.
Osemele has yet to pass a physical, let alone, learn the playbook and develop any chemistry with the other offensive lineman. |
