Option A.
Next year, I hope it's Free, Gurode, Rookie, Brewster, Young.

You are serious about Brewster and Young?
And why get rid of Leonard Davis next year?

Leonard Davis is making too much money and frankly isn't that good.
And yes, I'm serious about Young. He already has the mental part of the game down since Notre Dame. The question about him was his athleticism, and he answered that pretty well in camps.
Now thinking about it. I don't think Brewster would be a good fit at OG.

I think Brewster is no better than a back up G for us, and Young could be a back up RT.
But I thought Barron would do a good job for us, so what's that tell ya?

I would trade all three of those players in a package for a diet coke.

I'd go with option 2 IF Colombo is not capable of playing to his 2008 level.

It might be our best option.
But I doubt we move Davis. I think we're more likely to see Brewster at RT.

I like Option 2,but as you say,Davis probably stays at guard.
Wasn't that part of Davis' troubles w/the Cards?They kept moving him outside and even left?
So anyway,that leaves me w/option 1.

If Colombo is healthy, then I prefer him at RT. If not, then I'd be open to moving Davis.
My concern is how effective Davis would be at RT today. I'm not sure he's quick enough for the position, and I think he'd have a hell of a time with speed rushers, specifically. But, he'd likely do better than a 75% Colombo, and it'd be hard for him to do worse than Barron.
Also, I'd hate to do that much moving and shaking along our offensive line. I don't think Young and Brewster are lost causes like some suggest, so I wouldn't object to trying them at the position first.

Yeah, I thought about it last night after I replied to the thread already that Davis would actually be a good right tackle.
Wasn't he an original left tackle for the Arizona Cardinals?
At any rate if Colombo can't stay healthy we should move him to right tackle, and then maybe try Brewster at the right guard position.

He struggled against speed rushers at LT in Arizona.
He wasn't terrible. But when you're a top 5 overall pick in the draft, expectations are high.
He's definitely a natural G. I just think for right now, we might be better off playing him at RT and keeping Holland in the starting lineup.

Boy, not saying you're wrong, but I'd be hesitant to toss out either Brewster or Young at this point. Lineman just seem to take a while to develop. I'll say that I think Brewster and Young showed more than what Marten or Peterman did during their first training camps, which may not say a lot but it shows that they aren't complete wastes. I'm a little surprised on how good Young looked... I didn't expect much, but I think he has a much higher threshold than Brewster.
