BearShark's OL may be getting a little thinner.

[thf24]

We would be too.

We wouldn't have to start true freshmen as a result of as few as one injury. They would. Our second line should be at least serviceable at every position except center (which is admittedly concerning).

Muniz and Beckwith both practiced center and looked passable...

We're actually deeper on the OL overall than we've been at any other time under Mullen as of today IMO. That's not to say that we're in good shape -- we still aren't where we'd like to be. But the OL is different than other positions on the field -- in that NO team has more than 8 or so that are ready -- regardless of how many stars they had...

We've got at least 3 -- likely to be 4 -- tackles that are game ready. We haven't had that before. The fact that Senior hasn't seen one damn snap at right tackle to the best of my knowledge tells us all we need to know about how Mullen feels about the position. He was already our 2nd best tackle by the end of last year. And that isn't even including the 5th yr SR that is likely to be around for depth purposes only...

I do find it odd that Freeze said that he doesn't think they would block him from transferring directly to an SEC West school.

Good to know.

He flipped from a national powerhouse to them on his first visit. They've got to give him whatever he wants, including an easy out if they can't keep him happy.

if Freeze doesn't block the kid transferring to Auburn, he's a moron.

OM is a house of cards at the moment. Freeze brought them "back" way too quickly. It'll show this season if the injury bug nips at all.

I don't. It's probably the deal where Golson says "I'm going to Auburn or I am talking to the media about recruitapalooza 2013. What's it gonna be Rev.?

[fishwater99]

Golson can do what he wants. He has too much on the Bears...

Its been said if you croot a guy too hard $$$ then he ends up owning you. So no, Hugh's comments don't surprise me.

Sounds like Golson is holding out like free agent negotiating a better deal with the Rebs. Once a few of the cigar boy boosters doubles his current comp plan he will be back in uniform by fall practice

[thf24]

I suspect Ole Miss has quite a few players with total leverage on them after 2013. It could get real interesting if several of those guys just now realize after this incident to what degree they have them by the balls. House of cards is right, Pollo.

[chef dixon]

To everyone saying we would be screwed with a couple of injuries, well yea, every single damn team in the country is not build well enough to take multiple O-line hits. The whole offensive line analysis is beaten to death by people who are more than just the casual fan. Our offensive line isn't the greatest, but I think its plenty good enough to accomplish what we should this season.

If this happens, which player(s) do the same thing? If I'm tunsil, I announce I'm transferring within the hour

[Oxfordawg]

Maybe tiring of the double standard. Seems some players have a lot more lead way than others

There's a reason that guys like Nkemdiche can rob a store and still be on the team.

[notsofarawaydawg]

Just confirmed **

Hugh gave a written test on the new signals the Bears will be using next season and this guy failed the test. Word on the street is that Beav had to remove all the religious references he was using for signals. **

I kinda suspect this too. There is no telling how much that 2013 class ran them and is still costing them. It will poison that team. Mark my words. Freeze and his booster minions did all they could to get OM back "relevant" again overnight. But they've had paid to a high a price for it. It's like the French at Borodino. You won, but the vitcory will be Pyrrhic. It always is for them. I hope the 2012 EB was fun, bitches.

When you pay players they own you... not the other way around.

It depends on your definition of deep. And this board's confidence in our O-line is higher than mine. We are laughing at Ole Miss for their RT issues while at the same time this board has Malone penciled in as the starter despite Zero Playing time or Practice time at RT. We also hope/think Clayborn is going to be good but he wasn't good last year albeit as a true freshman. Some argued Beckwith was the weak link last year and now he is back and we call RG solid? And Clausell has never been particularly good as a run blocker. Senior hasn't moved to RT b/c you can't be 280 pounds and play RT in the SEC. Day is an above average Center due to all of the playing time, but his injury has been rumored to be somewhat serious. This is the unit that may prevent us from hitting our high expectations.
