Make no mistake, I am VERY excited about Cruz.  And I was hoping he'd make a push to start, but looks like he's going to be the primary backup -- get tons of game experience, and be poised to be a multi-year starter down the road.

I'm going to feel a lot better knowing that we have a core of 2nd unit guys that the coaches are comfortable playing.  Doesn't mean that we have to go 10 deep every game.

Cruz seems like he's going to play a ton.  Ialoa?  Or is he just stop-gap?  Red, who hasn't played in awhile?  Bradford is also unproven.  Maybe one or more of the RF [Magnuson, Hoeh], although they are unknown commodities at this point.  Knowing we have 8 guys that can play is going to go a long way toward me feeling more comfortable with the OL.

But I agree that we have a core nucleus of 6 who will play, and play a lot.  Hopeful [given the injury histories of Bleich / Davis in particular] that we can go a player or 2 deeper, just in case.
