2. OL Jordan Devey

With Bryan Stork injured, and the starters getting a decent amount of rest, expect Devey to receive a lot of playing time tonight. He was on the field for the entire first game against Washington, playing on both the left, and right side of the line.

Even though he did play every single snap last week, it wasn’t the best showing for Devey. He was frequently beat off the line, got overpowered, and pushed back into the pocket. He flat-out missed a few blocks as well. If Devey wants any chance at making this roster, he is going to have to play out of his mind tonight, and continue to do so over the next few weeks. I’m looking forward to seeing if he can bounce back, and possibly make those backup offensive lineman battles much more interesting.
