Quote:That's really what it boils down to.

 

You can go ahead and stamp Beadles and the two tackles as starters.

 

Word is Linder is the best of interior linemen, and if he is... that begs that you start him at C, by far the most important interior spot.  That leaves RG.  Bowanko's versatility (smaller drop off when playing across all three positions) makes him valuable to the roster.

 

No matter how good/bad Brewster is truly grading, if Linder is still better at C than Brewster, then that's where he'll play.

I don't think Linder hasn't gotten enough work at C to expect him to start this year. There is too much mental prep involved in becoming the starting C.

 

I could see the possibility of Linder taking over next year with a full offseason and camp preparation under his belt.

 

I think he will end up starting at RG and the team will reevaluate things next offseason.
