Exactly rightQuote:

A veteran o line that has been together a while and excels at pass blocking will compliment that highly rated q b.

This isn't a whole sale we gonna abandon the Air Raid I'm saying there is going to me more emphasis on trying to run the ball more this year.Quote:

And that's why he took the portal out of Bama. He was never going to see the field staying there.Quote:

Kids improve you know this. Reese will be fine. If Lewis cant do it we know Kam Jones can play tackle and be ok. I am concerned too but not bc we dont have players. Im concerned bc it is literally the only potential hole on the team on the most important position group of the team. Or any team for that matterQuote:

I tend to think we find decent enough replacements at the tackles and go on to have a good year, but if you?re looking for something that has the potential to derail our season, beyond the obvious of injuries it?s probably the OL.
I don't think it's unreasonable to think that Reese will make that kind of jump going from his true freshman to RS freshman year. Certainly not guaranteed but most good OL are going to improve a lot between their first and second year on campus. And supposedly Reese was showing a lot of promise last year? Not sure that was from anybody that knows though.Quote:

That Lashley couldn't sniff the field at bama except for ST, and immediately started for us says it all about RT last year and any year. Hope several of our young linemen or Pearcy step up or we have issues at OT.
We could struggle this year but given the o line recruits we have brought in, I’d say we will have a very good o line soon no matter what.Quote:

Then why don't you cheer for those other SEC teams.Quote:
