And pull Boe Wilson's redshirt. Total bummer losing Foster for whole year.

Time for Barnett to step up...
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
At C? Though he was taking reps at OG? Seems like a tall task for a true freshman to take over at C.
Pretty sure rrt meant guard. No need to move utter over to guard since Wilson is a capable backup
Decker would be the obvious choice at center...but, it doesn't sound like Riley likes the thought of moving Utter. So, someone else is going to have to step up at guard.
Ok. Thanks. Figured that would be the case. Center is too important to goof around with unless you must
Sucks but if he is lost for the year better at the start, he will get a medical redshirt.
Ever since we landed the kid I have been hearing how he's a straight mauler on the field. Let him loose, HCMR.
I have a feeling that by the end of the year Wilson and farmer will both be very good guards. I thi K there we Our O line will be damn good in 2017 and 2018.
I think Barnett ends up starting at LG by week one. They are trying to speed up Wilson's understanding of the playbook, and giving him more first team reps.
I've pretty consistently heard that Barnett may be one of the most physically gifted interior linemen we've had in a while. We'll see.
Barnett is a stud and a rising star. He just needs experience and consistency. At least one good thing about Foster's injury is that it happened 2 weeks before the opening game rather than 2 days. At least now Barnett can rep with the ones in practice and grow comfortable with that.
And Corey Whitaker when he returns. The trouble for Whitaker though is that the edge he has over Barnett and Wilson is his experience. But his experience has never been as a starter and he lacks the raw talent of the young guys. So my hunch is that with several weeks of practicing with the ones, and a couple of starts in real games, the young guys will have the edge over Whitaker.

Personally Whitaker been injury pron his entire career and would be shocked if he beats out Barnett and Wilson during they entire duration of the season.
