And we have Smith in the rotation. Wow what a rotation. We are going for it on D-Line. This will help our secondary...
I see it this way, at least for now.
Three-man rotation at end. Griffen and Lawrence start, with Smith rotating in. One of the three also will play inside on clear passing downs. The young players will only play at first in garbage time, earning more playing time if they do well. (Depending on the defensive alignment, though, we might use one of them in there as a standup linebacker some along with Griffen, Lawrence and Smith.)
Five-man rotation at tackle. Poe is the starting 1-tech, McCoy the starting 1-tech. On passing downs, Poe is replaced by one of the top three DEs. Woods rotates in some to spell Poe on running downs and keep him fresh. Crawford rotates in some to spell McCoy on running downs to keep him fresh, especially for passing downs. The young DTs (Gallimore and Hill) only play in garbage time at first unless they earn more playing time as part of the regular rotation ... if both make the team.
I think we keep five ends (Lawrence, Griffen, Smith, Anae and one other among Armstrong, Jackson, Jelks, Carter and Hamilton) and five tackles (McCoy, Poe, Woods, Crawford and Gallimore). It's likely that one or two of the ends and Hill also make the practice squad because I don't think we're ready to give up on Hill unless we can get draft compensation for him. (If Hill improves dramatically and looks ready to be a player or Gallimore stands out from the start, only then do I cut Crawford before the start of the season ... if the "starting" five are healthy.)
