re: Does Teuhema move back to guard this year

Did any of you watch S. Stewart's highlight? 6'9" 320 lb. monster was killing the poor little kids. Curious to know what ya'lls opinion of him is? How will he fair in the SEC?

Should, he's not tackle material. Good guard material though.

Watch out for Adrian Mcgee and Lloyd cushinberry. Heard high praise about cushinberry at center.

Not Day 1 for Deculus, but if he can be sharing reps with Malone fairly early, I could appreciate him being used in situational looks [or to keep our O-line fresh when going up against Bama's D-Line] by the time the meat of the schedule hits.

We need a solution at LT not another guard. Neither Malone or Teuhuma should be in that spot unless there is an injury.

Brumfeild should get a look at center as well. Seems to have the messureables and body type for it

The Toby Weathersby era at tackle has been pretty disastrous for our pass protection.

Is Decalus a future LT? I really thing this is the biggest missing piece. If we find a LT we should be really good. Hopefully Malone will improve more but I don't think he's unreal either.

I agree 100%. Malone started the season just under 300 pounds which is a little on the light side for left tackle (he may weigh more now) and seemed to struggle to the point that they had to try other linemen there. The problem was that they weren't any better and their replacements at their inside positions weren't as good at them. This caused the line to be playing with two positions not being as good as they could be instead of one. I feel that we were a left tackle away from winning against Auburn and Florida. I really hope Malone can bulk up a little more while improving his foot speed and become a solid piece of the puzzle. The other positions look pretty good going into this fall.

Deculus has yet to practice yet alone play a single snap and let he's projected by some as the next Cam and a sure starter at LT.
It's this kind of mindset that insures a disappointed fan base and angry fans. It's why successful coaches lose their patience and their jobs. There is NO way to predict how this kid will turn out but I promise you, if he's not all SEC you clowns will blame Les Miles.

Maybe not an ideal option, but I wonder if they try Weathersby some at LT in the spring. Surely no worse that tehuma and Malone, right? He played hurt a lot last year. Assuming Deculus is as advertised, would be nice to be able to groom him at RT for a year.
