[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 782660"] Bell started 7 games at LG for the Titans in 2015. When you start thinking about paring down the roster to 46 for game day, that may be enough positional flexibility to keep him around. Murphy has not played any guard as far as I can recall and he's playing LT whereas by all rights he should be on the right side and Spriggs on the left. A while back McCarthy suggested Spriggs would get a look at the RG spot. Instead, we saw him playing behind Bell at RT with the 3rd. stringers. Unless Spriggs' spot on the depth chart changes right quick, he may well be on the bubble and busted out. There's the often mentioned "2nd year jump", then McCarthy slipped in a "2nd or 3rd year jump" not too long ago. I've yet to hear of a 4th. year jump to justify keeping him on the roster but not suited up for game day hoping for that jump next season. Heck, Justin McCray looked better than any of these backup OTs filling at LT last season, a position he had never played prior to the week of practice before being thrown into the fire. If this depth chart doesn't change and the backup performances don't improve, on opening day we could be looking at 7 OL on the game day roster with Murphy as the #3 OT, McCray as the emergency #4 OT, and a backup C/OG. That configuration covers two game day injuries. That would leave Spriggs as an odd man out and maybe Bell as well. And if you don't qualify for game day you are squarely on the bubble. I've qualified this by saying the depth chart better change right quick for Spriggs. Right now the coaches may be more interested in evaluating Bell in these early games while having some kind of comfort level with Spriggs as a backup OT. If that's the case, though, Spriggs should be getting earlier snaps with the second team very soon, like preseason game #2.. [/QUOTE]
