Isn't that what Blythe is for?  Allegretti play OG last year and while not even average, he is an option as a backup all along the interior but not really needed.

Nick Allegretti continues to get second-team center reps here and there. Austin Blythe at RG. I wonder if they’re going to keep one or the other there.

My thoughts exactly. Every year we get hit with multiple starters going down on the Oline. Keep the best and dump the rest. If someone wants a guy we are cutting then fine, let's trade.  But I would keep the guys I had the most confidence in.

So who do you think is kept?

If one is cut or traded it will be Allegretti.

 Blythe has played center for many years and is proven there. He is playing reps I believe at G as a back up. They are probably trying it with Allegretti st center too, but Blythewood is more proven.

Allegretti could not even beat out or get 2nd string with the centers we have had since he was here. He does though have more tradeable aspects as he us younger.

Although Allegretti fits more of what we are becoming on the offensive line. 
also is cheaper. 
and just because you played before doesn’t mean you should get any advantage. 
both Reiter and Wylie have played. Should we resign Reiter to play over Humphreys? Should Wylie replace Smith or Niang?

Allegretti has played before. What has he shown to say he can do center now? I told you before I would eat Crow if he was our starting center this year. Did he play center in the pre season game at all? Think he was at guard. He is behind a rookie and I bet Blythe too when all said and done.

Well Blythe was let go for a 4th round pick and UDRFA. That’s how much the Rams thought of him. Your clamoring For Reiter type. Why? Blythe doesn’t fit the scheme. Bad fit

[Biggjliv4 1,292]

Saw Josh Rosen was cut, I'd love to see Reid take a shot at him. Could be one of those developmental projects we flip a year or two down the road.

And yet we signed him with Allegretti already here.

And is already losing reps

Maybe, not like Allegretti is rising to the top and getting reps. I think he will be the one we could trade as I said above.

[kkuenn 3,597]

Just to put it in perspective from the snap counts. Allegretti played G the whole time. Blythe was the 2nd center in our pre season game. Three played center in this game.

The defensive line-offensive line drills continue to be highly entertaining, with the feature matchup being Chris Jones and Trey Smith. Both took turns winning reps on Tuesday, with Jones tossing Smith on one turn — only for Jones to end up on his back on the next rep. Jones and Smith appear to be two of the best in their respective positions in the NFL; it is still amazing Smith fell to the sixth round. Other standouts in this look were Nick Allegretti, Joshua Kaindoh, Niang and Saunders.

 

huh? No Blythe mention…

The picks were in reference to assumed picks gained in a trade not current players draft round.  

[Lamardirts 2,114]

I think they are giving Allegretti reps at center to see if he is capable of being the backup center.  I think he does fit our team better but Blythe is a prove center in the league.   If Allegretti can prove himself there I think Blythe is the man out, but if he can’t he isn’t making this team as just a backup LG IMO.

I agree with that. We have plenty of options at guard. Nick needs to separate himself with center skills.

he just plain sucks

Just guessing:

Brown, Thuney, Humphrey, Smith, Niang, Remmers, Blythe, LDT, Wylie

Allegretti may beat out Wylie (I hope).

Long on PUP.

Wanogho to Pratice Squad.

 

[AFCWEST 1,238]

Looks good. I think Long has to be on the 53 to be added to IR. If you are correct then Allegretti or Wylie might get a 6 or 7 round pick?

can't be any worse than Gordon or Buchele fighting for the Practice Squad spot

I think Buchele has real promise to replace Henne next year.

I got one hope he can because nothing that Blythe does inspires much confidence.

Yes Rosen is worse.  I don’t think he’s good and he’s broken goods now.   The tools might be there but the being shipped all over has probably broken him mentally. Pass.

[jetlord 10,209]

All the snap count analysis in preseason games has less to do with where players rank on the depth charts and more to do with getting looks at bubble players plus giving experience to younger players.  Maybe there's a little showcasing of a few players to create trade candidates.   I can't get all hung up on the number of snaps for Kaindoh, Fortson, Fountain, etc. at this point.

But the thing is, he did not play in the pre season game at center at all. In fact it was Blythe then another guy getting the reps. You would think he would have had some reps.
