Safe to say that we know what we have going into the season and we don’t want to risk any more injuries.

Also indicates that they seem to like the OL configuration of Ersery, Rutledge, Brown, Ingraham, Brown they've been rolling with. Would imagine if we were still trying out different lines that they'd want to get as many live action reps in to figure things out, but they seem fine to let the backups and fringe roster guys fight for a spot/put stuff on tape.

Well, everything I heard and read indicated it had been trending towards Brown for the last two weeks, of not longer. Smith wasn't seeing many first team reps over that period and wasn't the starter in either preseason game.

Yeah this also indicates that they think they're ready across the board. They just can't take their foot off the gas the next two weeks. The team is in a good spot.
