I know OL is of concern to some but for me as of now this group looks good and we have depth that unless I read it wrong there are no players on the OL plugging holes in other positions due to lack of player depth. Meaning short of injury we are 3 deep at all positions. So now to me the concern is experience which I think CDM and Co. will game plan to the abilities of the moment.
I agree. It’s great not seeing the same player’s at two or three positions because of lack of depth. The other thing about being three deep at all positions is that creates a lot of competition, which will make all of them work harder and play better, especially if they apply themselves in S & C and allow the coaches to develop them.
SHP I was answering this and 6 added an important part below. Also having a rotation should keep guys from getting gassed during the game.
And for 6 here is the countdown clock.

Bode a youse guyses are spot on, as per usual I might add. Now, what happens next (I suspect, anyway) is that there are enough rotation cycles early on this season, in order to add experience and enhanced talent to the depth. Lots of good coaching from Fall Camp onward will make that happen, I think — and damn, we sure are blessed with some good coaches at this time.
I hope David Smith weighs in on this chart, if for no other reason than to (a) point out something I/we missed, and to, (b) be the devil’s advocate just in case my/our optimism is too far out in front of my/our headlights. I know some people think he’s a troll (he’s not, believe me), but I strangely rely on him to balance the scorecard — so to speak. Just like we read StL’s adroit comments, though not the same. One thing: May we enjoy better collegiality this year even though we disagree sometimes!
’65 — how many days until the Miami game?
Probably the best our DL has looked on paper in a long time. Lots of experience at each position. Good size on the inside. A little worried about Linebacker but should be better than last year. Reese good against run but suspect against pass. Burney should be an improvement. Dbs just as good or better than last year.
Every position is just as good or better than last year on O other than OL. If Franks can handle the first 6 games, we should be good. Not sure he did well with pressure last year even in the last few games, so it could get interesting.
there are an awful lot of coach mac guys in the lineup / roster, especially offensive line…you know, urban did pretty well with zook’s players, and the ole ball coach did ok with galen hall’s guys. Mac won two SEC east championships with champs players, and dan quinn had one good year with urbans guys.
Nice catch….good point!
