In 2007: Jordan Black, Winston, Butler and Salaam
in 2008: Brown, Winston, Butler and Salaam,

That is 3 young OTs and one old veteran in 2008, and two young unproven guys in 2007.

We do not have any young unproven OTs roster worthy, and Butler is capable of both sides, so there is no need to have a 4th tackle that will be inactive for every game. Wade Smith can play OT in a crunch if needed, especially on the RT.

So your guess that they are going to carry 4 OTs is a reach IMO.
