With John Runyan and Lucas Patrick struggling incredibly on Saturday, yesterday we saw Ben Braeden and Royce Newman get reps with the 1's at the OG spots.
I like how that shows it really is an open competition. Not one of those things where they say it is, yet continue to give vets or some guys longer leashes. Perform, or step aside.

from Eye in the Sky twitter:
"Performance isn’t important. Anybody can be a preseason superstar.
Watching the biomechanics of players is paramount. How do they react changing directions, explosiveness from a static position, etc."
from Vic Ketchman:
" Don't attach importance to the preseason. Watch and weigh, but don't decide."

I didn’t focus much on Patrick. I did try and keep an eye on Runyon and he was awful.

This is my bet for how we open Week 1. JRJ the odd man out.

I cant be the only one surprised by Patricks awful showing in the PS games right? Seemed a job was his to lose until Bahk got back and he appears to be doing his best to lose one of them.

It actually does not look like he had an awful game against the Jets. Multiple media reports/grades saying he had a good game.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
MLF said they'll keep trying different OL combos so they have teaching tape on all of them. He also said they already know what Patrick can do, so don't read anything into starter/back-up. That's just TC rotations to help make decisions. A vet like Patrick who knows the offense and can cover all 3 IOL spots is Super valuable for a team with Super aspirations.

Texans 7th rounder via the Bears.

So we end up trading a 6th but getting a Bears 7th for Randal Cobb and make HOU eat $3 million of his salary?
Not bad.

Dont count out Braden to be a nice depth piece. I thought he handled RT well and is a guard imo. I really like the depth of this group. Newman is going to be a stud. Depending what the play is for jenkins long term the pack has put out really damn good OLs for a long time.
Sounds like Jordan Love practiced today which is great news.
My bet is he gets a LOT of work this Saturday. I would imagine 3 quarters if healthy and maybe the whole game.
