Beckwith played well at times last year- certainly did down the stretch
Malone has made 7-8 starts as an SEC player. OL players move around all the time- so it's not like we are asking him to go from playing QB to TE

Depth-wise- we have 3 early games that will allow us to get some of these guys experience:

Johnson
Flowers
Senior (who has made 1 career start)
Warren

Losing Day would be the only real bigtime injury that would concern me- but overall- this is probably the best shape we have been in upfront since Mullen arrived

Honestly, Joc Johnson should probably redshirt. Malone is the key. If he can be a player at RT then we will be ok. He has the size, that's for sure. I wish someone would make a big jump and help out at guard.
