My guess is:

Stan Wallace Eli Neuf Broxton

Eli might be replaced by an IMP (my hope) and be back at jumbo.

If Wallace clearly becomes (stays?) the weak link then Rand/Vant might get his spot.


Viable option you've identified. Don't hate it. Would pause and say that we'd be taking the second rated left tackle in the league last year and moving him to RT while keeping Bryant at LT who was closer to league average. This also shuts out Randolph who is on the up swing and a player we've developed. He's "our" guy too.

I'm sure they'll try this in camp but I don't think on paper it's the smartest decision.

It is the kindest decision for Bryant though and this coaching staff has clearly been okay with making  that kind of decision before.

They clearly were never going to be Big Stan long-term replacements, and not even Yoshi replacements.

We've had many "busts" over the years at the dev IMP OLs.  This is just another instance.  If they beat out the newest recruits, one can be a PR guy.  Otherwise, bye!

The philosophy of Mafia HAS been to snipe the best (or up & coming vet) mercenary at OT.  After all, that's how we nabbed our HOF/ROH Big Stan (and Yoshi).


Yoshi was cut by BC and Sask. before Wpg. picked him up and moved him from OG to OT were he found success.
