Vets aren't really lighting the world on fire
Yep. Experience does not necessarily equate to talent...
Jenkins should be the smoothest transition to center in years. Need a portal tackle.
Can they manage to not jump offfsides when we need just one yard? Because that is what we’ve had for the last seven years.
I don’t agree. Excellent recruiting the last 2 cycles has created depth. Expect an upward trend on the O-line.
Not sure we'll need a portal tackle with the kids we have in the que but I would take one if we could. You can never have too many P5 OTs on your roster. It appears we've recruited OT pretty well these last 2 cycles. Babies just gotta grow up.
People need to come to the realization that we're not going to be able to buy the best OTs in the portal. Yeah we're top ten in NIL but the top programs are so far above us in cash available to pay players that it's ridiculous. I just hope we can keep DR.
This has been said every year since Cavanaugh was here and the line continues to be pedestrian.
1. Scott and Benhart are our only Senior starters now. Everyone else is back.
Benhart can declare if he wants. Not sure what his prospects would be. Sledge and Brix will be in line for PT.
Benhart is a 6th year Senior. I don't think he has to declare. Next year's OL assuming Teddy can make it back.
Why aren't any of those guys besides Gottula able to get PT then? Especially when Lutovsky has been god awful and made the block of his life yesterday only because his running back had to push him into someone.
Sledge has Scott in front of him. Maciejczak has Benhart in front of him. Brix, Tamura, and Pyle are true freshman for God's sake!
That's not true, don't know who would tell you that. He was part of the 2019 class and is in his 5th year as a starter. He has the same situation as Gifford and Robinson.
Macz is a guard right? I think they're going to try to preserve redshirts on most of the youngsters. They want to get old in the O line.
Macz can play both and redshirted last season.
Teddy will not be in the mix, but I do like the younger OL a lot. Let's just hope we develop Pyle, Brix, etc. Big time potential. As much as people were worried about Gottula he played decent.
Find an FCS guy who really wants to increase his draft stock. No better way then keep DR upright. DR will really start to get scrutinized next year as he moves closer to draft eligibility.
You have no idea whether Teddy will be in the mix. He has as good a chance as any. We seem to always discount players who have bad luck with injuries. But with modern medicine, you can come back from these.
I’d just as soon he moves on, he still jumps off sides too much for my liking. Holy Christ he been hear 5 years and it is still the same $&it..
ok... A guy who basically has never been healthy his entire career, and probably has everything to do with his height. Good advice stud. Until we actually see him do something I consider him out. History is not his friend.
OK, because he's tall, you're a soothsayer. Also, 70% of the people on the roster have done nothing. I guess they're out too! History, you know!
I have no doubt that they will bring in a transfer OL. I also have no doubt that they're try to bring in a transfer and many other positions. Transfers are now part of a normal recruiting class.
Fidone had knee injuries but I don't think he has
Yeah his height is likely a part of the issue. He's taller than literally every NFL OT and that should tell people something. I think a blocking TE would be better for him.
In general recruiting in the trenches has been weak since we joined the BIG
