The Doug Free retirement caught them completely off guard.

Free retires and Green is still not healthy, so as they said they would, Collins is getting a look at RT.

This may be the last straw on Green as a starter, just so unreliable and if Cooper can actually play LG then get the best and healthiest players out there regardless.

Ideally suited or not, you can not have a train wreck at RT this year, so at least they are looking at the options early and are not just hoping for good health from Green.

You think he stays at Tackle if Collins stays at RT?

Green and Cleary battle it out for the swing position and Bell goes to guard to backup Martin/Cooper along with Looney.
Green should be the swing Tackle. You don't want Bell filling in at LT.

Looney is the backup Interior guy on game day because he plays both OC and OG.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Colombo only a stud for us and didn't really play well for all of the teams he was previously on? I have a feeling Johnathan Cooper will be the same. Hopefully he can solidify our left guard position and Collins can do the same for RT.
Columbo was with the Bears but had a bad knee injury that took longer than normal to recover from.

Cooper has been injured multiple times. If he can avoid injury, then I think he will be at least decent and could be much better than that.

Anyone know when was the last time Lael took any reps on right side of the OL? I am starting to think it may be better to slide Zack out to tackle instead and keep Lael at LG. Cooper can be the RG.

He got some looks at RT for about 2-3 days early in his rookie camp. That's it.
