Zero depth?

We played sunday with backups at center and both guard spots, and then lost our RT in game, and yet the line played well.

There isnt much talent here, and the team made mistakes with Kahil, Osmele and in my opinion winters, but having Harrison and Compton to come in and play well is pretty good depth in the NFL.

We dont have much at center if Harrison were to get hurt, so Id like to see us sign Bodine just in case.

Fair but that points to a different problem: player evaluation

Chuma Edoga is too young to write off - tackle in the NFL is a huge task for any rookie, he's started at 2 positions this season when he should really be redshirted for how raw he is ... he's flashed but he's also looked terrible but it's not fair to compare 22 year old Edoga to 27 year old Shell. Edoga has the physical upside to be a starter once he figures out life 

Russell Bodine is a better backup center than Leo K but also more expensive

Bryan Witzmann is a journeyman with some starting experience but not a great player - his name is interesting because he's a 6'7" guard. Tom Compton is another huge guard (compared to Winters) - these are the guys Gase is going to want - 4 tackles and 1 center 

it could even mean Edoga's future is at guard because in Gase system he wants huge guys across the board. Even Bodine is 6'4" tall for a center
