LG - Paul back as a starter. Did ok but the plan was to replace him with Coleman until Tunsil was hurt.
C - let go a good player in Biadiaz. His replacement has been injured and has barely practiced. The backup is a 6th round rookie who has looked like it so far.
RG - Stud. Hopefully the injuries are well behind him.
RT - guy who struggled his rookie season but improved. Hoping for continued improvement.
This just feels like what we did last year with the D line. Too much hoping for the best and not enough proven competence for my taste.
On a happier note, I just got tickets to see the Colts game in London. Haven’t been to a game in ages and this should be cool.

This pretty much sums it up and why I am so concerned. I have no idea what they are doing at center, Allegretti sucked at guard, he was benched early last season as the starter at RG and that is supposed to be his natural position and they have no NFL player on the roster who can be a backup.
I never understood the plan and I still don't. Tunsil's injury hurt a lot and had a domino effect if Coleman was slated to start at LG. But one injury should never derail an entire offensive line.
