Raiders head coach Jon Gruden loves competition at all positions, as evidenced by many of his offseason moves. The interior of his offensive line is as stout as any team in the league, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared in case of injury or some other circumstance that sidelines a key player. To that
Jon Gruden, Tom Cable have unexpected opportunity to bolster offensive line depth
I would feel better about signing him if he could fill in at C also.
Feliciano can play all three inside spots but has had his own injury issues.
That is why Silberman and Stone were on the roster at the end of last season.
He likely can, Philip. The huge difference between Feliciano and Sweezy is experience. Can’t place a price tag on that. Also, Sweezy knows Cable’s system inside and out. Overall, if he’s healthy and willing to accept a low-dollar deal, he is a great addition. But, yes, backups are far more valuable if they can fill in at multiple positions, especially on the offensive line.
Great points! Really enjoyed the article!
I suppose Cable could also see him as another player who could get a look at RT.
Experience is huge, I agree Cork. But availability on game day is the biggest point. As stated, hopefully he finally gets healthy.
