Interesting that 4 of you have Barclay getting cut given Chad’s article (and a similar one in the GBPG). Must say he hadn’t stood out to me either but I suppose you’re not really supposed to notice an OL it’s when he’s not doing his job that it stands out..
Not I… I think Barclay and Van Roten have passed Draheim on the depth chart. I believe they both came in with the twos against the Bengals.
I may have invented the GBPG article I thought I saw. Could have sworn I’d seen 2 articles on Barclay but I may just be losing the plot…

Is that it?
That was partially the reason I went back to look at how he performed. After keeping track of the Training Camp “depth chart” and reading a couple articled like that, I felt it necessary to actually check this guy out.
Like you said, you don’t really notice the OL when they’re not screwing up.
There’s also a mention that Barclay could be looked upon as a key 4-position back up in an article about Marshall Newhouse that is posted on JSO.
Yes I think I turned the mentions in the JSO and PG into one article in my mind. Ability to play G/T has to make him attractive. Now Lang has made LG his own we could do with a jack of all trades..
THE RESULTS:
12: Marques
11: Adam
11: Chad
11:Jersey Al
9: Thomas
8: Kris
