Laurence Holmes

And I understood that, okay, he's not at full strength.

Maybe he has a chance to be the guy that Ben Johnson and Dan Rochard, the offensive line coach, chose.

Believe can play left tackle and be a part of this team going forward.

There's a reason they signed him.

You could say it was just for depth, or you could say he's a viable candidate for the starting left tackle position.

I don't know what the answer is now.

I don't know that they know what the answer is right now.

He's just someone that they have as an option.

But this will be a different season in which he's not coming off an ankle surgery, in which he should be full strength and work his way back.

And if you go back to last July when Mark Grody caught up with him and talked to him about this, you can understand why he really didn't have a shot to be the starting left tackle last year.

I love when an athlete, one, is on the comeback trail.

And I love more when he's on the comeback trail and instead of being defensive about whatever process is taking place for him to get back where he wants to be, where he needs to be, where he would like to be.

I like when that story is told in a way that we can understand and you're not getting defensive about it.

Because this is a guy who was at one point starting games at left tackle in the NFL.

And you go back to last season and whether it was Ozzie Trapillo or Theo Benedet.

Before him, who's still on the roster, and now they brought in Jedrick Wills Jr.

as a viable candidate.

Don't forget your boy, Karan Amagazi.

I'd rather do that.

High draft pick.
