[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 505762"] OK, it would he surprising if they quit on Barkley at backup C so early for several reasons. (1) Opening up a roster spot for somebody like Van Roten just to play backup is a waste. (2) Tretter was supposed to be the guy, but getting no off-season work would indicate he's heading for redshirt IR. (3) There's no other viable alternatives among the locks and near locks; Lang was just a placeholder, a name in a slot, as the backup C after Saturday retired; I have not read that he's getting any work there at all. (5) EDS is on that one year restricted FA deal. (6) EDS is adequate, but certainly not immune to competition or an upgrade. Maybe they should give Barclay one of those kicker practice nets, put a target on it, and have him put in 1,000 snaps at 7 yards. Put it together with a tape loop of Ray Lewis' game screaming at 100 db. and that ought to do it. ;) Bakhtieri has worked his way up from 3rd. group to 1st. group snaps at RT in short order, and I think I saw where he's gotten some snaps at LT with the 2nd. group...maybe it was 3rd. Overlooked in the discussion is that Newhouse is in his contract year, though he would be restricted next season. All indications are the staff would like to make him expendable, for some obvious reasons, but Bakhtieri needs to show he can be at least a stop gap at LT...Lang is not and never was up to that task. I would expect Bakhtieri to get snaps on the left side in preseason to prove it up. [/QUOTE]
