I’m very confused. The starting line at practice today was Charles, Brumfield, Cush, Lewis, and Traore. Deculus was backing up Lewis. How does this in anyway suggest Brumfield to center?


No idea

Doesn't make sense unless they're just determined to get Deculus on the field and they think that Brumfield is an upgrade over Cush.

More likely that Deculus would be a swing player in this situation

Exactly. And I for one think Deculus will be a very good swing/versatile OLman with OT being the focus.... one day.

Now, the real question is when. Probably starting Sept 2nd. Because there's not going to be much choice. He'll be subbing in at OG and OT as needs arise and change. He's not quite ready for it yet.

We've seen experience by necessity do wonders before. I think that's Deculus' destiny for the first half of this season. The experience he gains this season, some of it will bad, will be a rough but necessary final step for him to be ready to start.

Btw, OG is where you want to struggle to take your lumps. They'll look to get him in often there and as dictated at OT.
