Offensive line will hopefully be a strength of the team. 3 of 5 starters back. Losing Pocic was big but I think Brumfield will be an upgrade over Boutte, esp for pass protection. And once again outside of Bama and maybe UF game they were dominant last year.

quote:

Despite a rash of injuries – some of which were played through, others that created some reshuffling – the offensive line blocked for a top-25 S&P+ offense and ranked fifth in adjusted line yards. Pro Football Focus rated it as the top unit in the country.

There were consistency issues at times, but basically, unless you could field a top-20 defense, the Tigers plowed right through you.

Weathersby at RT is more experienced than most people realize. He was the starter there at beginning of the season. Missed a few games due to injury.

When he returned to action there was a three man rotation at the tackle spots.

LT - Malone started and took two thirds of snaps there.
RT - Teuhema started and took one third snaps at RT and one third snaps at LT.
Weathersby didn't start but, he took two thirds of the snaps at RT.

That's a pretty experienced trio there. Throw in Clapp and that's a solid returning four along the Oline.
