OL is tough to give a full "2 deep" -- because alot of times the guy listed second on the depth chart will play mop up duty, but if something happened to the first guy, that player wouldn't be "the guy"...

First string is:
Clausell
Clayborn
Day
Beckwith
Malone

If something happened to Clausell, Carter or Senior gets the call...
Clayborn to Flowers
Day to Clayborn or Beckwith(both have worked at center some)
Beckwith to Flowers, the JUCO Johnson(I view this as a measure of how the OL depth looks -- IF we appear we are going to redshirt him as is currently possible, I view it as a good sign), or the freshman Deion Calhoun who from the accounts I'm hearing is this year's Clayborn and has been a total monster that's way ahead of "schedule"...
Malone to Carter, Senior, or Thomas

The spot I worry about depth the most is center honestly. Doesn't take much to throw off timing of a shotgun offense at that spot. Senior was good at OT last year in probably 20% of our overall snaps. No one noticed he was in -- whereas you always knew when Robinson was in. So, I'd be comfortable with him as a swing tackle. But word is that Carter surpassed him in the spring, which bodes well for the future of the tackle position overall...
