I think there is a good chance that both Boley and Robbins will likely be on the PUP list at the start of the season.

Both are almost certainly going to miss all of training camp

Interesting note.
The release of Derenthal leaves the Giants with no true back-up center at this time.

I guess the Giants feel good about the experiment of Adam Koets moving from tackle to center. However, mini camp notes from some of the beat writers on Koets transition wasn't that impressive.

Seubert may also be a 2nd option of sliding over to center if injuries occur.

At this point Seubert is the backup center, then Snee

The Giants are hoping that Koets can make the transition to backup center

The key thing is what will happen once O'Hara starts slowing down (which could be soon).
Personally I wouldn't mind the idea of Snee at OC and beefing up up RG with Diehl at LG, Beatty LT and Seubert as primary backup. Another option could be to flick McKenzie into RG and get a RT (but all this for another day)

updated

I would like to see Terrell Thomas moved to FS, I think that is a better fit for him, but I am not sure that will happen at the moment.

But as the nickle back, he can likely do a bit of both
