As long as they give help he should be okay, but Dworaczyk heads up against the elite pass rush guys in the SEC will be a disaster.

Lemon actually played a lot of the time lined up against the RT against ULM. FWIW

Last time JD was at Auburn he was thrown around like a rag doll.

We actually played lined up with backs on either side of Mett several times against Idaho and they chipped almost every time. With guys like Hilliard and Ware doing the chipping we will be able to handle any DE ok.

It's fine we'll just bring back two All-Sec caliber players in Faulk in TM7 next year to help defend our NC

Having Hurst & V. Alexander at the tackle slots might be a good idea, but I know Josh D. is a Miles favorite & he'll get plenty of chances. I am not sure he is the best suited OL to play LT, since that may be the most important position on the OL. But this game will give the coaches an indication of how effective Josh D. can be here. I hope he shows improvement over his performance vs. Idaho. And he should get some help from Clement, Nic Jacobs and the RB's.

It needs to be mentioned again what one Tiger fan posted on Page 1 of this thread:
- Josh Dworaczyk suffered a calf injury in the very first series, and tried to play through it. It was limiting his mobility more and more as the 1st half wore on. He did not play at all in the 2nd half.

Jeez, out of all the limitations that we saw in JD's game back in 2009 (and to a lesser extent, 2010), "mobility" wasn't one of them. He moves very well, and IMO is actually better suited to blocking D-Ends than D-Tackles.

And finally, Lemonier has lined up much more often as the LDE than RDE in 2012. This means he will be matched up with whoever we play on the right side (Hurst or Alexander).

OK. I haven't seen Auburn play much this year, but Kolton Browning is left-handed, don't know if that had anything to do with it. I just figured Lemonier would be matched up with our left tackle.

If Hurst is matched up with CL, I do like the idea of running right at him. Hurst can overpower him in the running game. I also see that Auburn is allowing 217 rushing yards per game, at 5 yards per carry so far.

I agree. His footwork was really good is the first two games, but I noticed that he was not moving well against Idaho.

Thanks for providing the reason. Hope it heals soon.

well done, man! you were right and you have proved it. i love the way many on here shrug off reality and call anyone that doesn't a negatiger or negative nancy, etc. our OL, sans faulk is overrated. imo, it's because they struggle with pass protection and when we play a team determined and qualifyed to stop the run, we WILL STRUGGLE. a fact. and add to that the coaches do not call many plays (consistently) to help the OL and QB out both our passing and our running game will struggle. lastly, mett is gonna get hurt.
