Hard to know until they do whatever they're going to do in "street free agency"
Yeah... I would think they would at least sign a RT...to help Rosen out... but maybe they like what they have?

I agree that at this time, that probably looks like the starting O-line. I doubt Prince starts this year and he might not even play unless we have several injuries. The one surprise could be Calhoun starting at RG but again, there's a good chance one of the starters is not on the roster at this time.
btw, I'd predict that we'll be looking for one or two new starters again in 2020
Hope not. I'm glad he's here and I'm going to support him 100%.
I see it ending this way as well....
In the end, I think it will shape up this way:
LT -- Tunsil
LG -- Deiter
C -- Kilgore
RG -- Reed
RT -- Davis
I suspect the coaches evaluation of the performance they see from the OL prior to our first game will, to some degree, dictate who the coaches start at QB.
I would not be surprised if Fitz starts out as our QB with Rosin coming in AFTER the offensive line gels. This is because we have less to lose if Fitz gets hurt or performs poorly.
If Fitz plays well he will stay in with occasional uses of Rosen to see if he can function reasonably well with a new team and under a new staffs (for him and the team) playbook.
If Rosen is a mess, then it's back to Fitz. If Rosen is successful, he will be used more and more, eventually starting.
Nothing fancy or startling in this approach. Just a sensible approach to using two QB's as assets during a new staffs 1st year re-developing a team.
PS: This type of planning would be backed up by trying to get a good, not average, 3rd QB. It looks like they are trying to do this by bringing in and looking at a lot of potential 3rd string QB's.
Ditto.I’m gonna be utterly disgusted if I got a josh rosen talent in tbe building and I got to watch Ryan career theory of diminishing returns and benches himself Fitzpatrick start out the season cause I dont trust my protection enough to not get the kid a trip to the morgue while my collection of jags gels.
What about the Sterup man?I think people are making a lot of assumptions on this Jesse Davis tackle stuff. To my recollection he didn’t even get cross trained in training camp last year. And I don’t recall even a single tackle snap in the preseason. Maybe some of that had to do with wanting to get him as many guard snaps as possible. Maybe.
Seems kinda odd if they see him as a tackle option. But regardless he was lousy in 2018 at guard. As inconsistent as they come. Whiffed off the ball and got smoked plenty. I get it he’s a plus athlete so tackle may be in play here but if he’s as inconsistent at tackle as he was in guard it’s gonna show up real ugly witb all that space play. There is no phone booth to rely on.
