Great (long!!) report.
 
Seems like a lot of group-think in what you and others write about Foy -- not supported by actual observations of how he is playing or what the OL coach thinks of his ability or how he has developed over the past year.  Foy hasn't been challenged in camp (or in the Spring).  Knapp wasn't working at R-OT even when he was healthy.   We are OK at OT as long as Hickey & Foy are healthy.  
 
Back-up O-linemen can't be as good as you wrote.  The reserves are either undersized by ACC standards or jucos who are still adjusting.  How well does the second OL perform in scrimmages?  
 
WRs -- beat writers gave this group low marks (other than West) based on what they showed in a scrimmage, which makes me wonder if this write-up is tinged with Orange optimism.  When you are trying to get by with a committee (Kobena, Clark, Cornelius, Flemming), you pretty much don't have a true #2 receiver.  And that is why the offense will need to depend on short passes to Broyld and Wales.   Have to be hoping that the younger receivers (Kobena & Cornelius) get better.
