Have LSU coaches said anything positive about new OL?

It seems like everytime Coach Kelly refers to the team, it's all about the defense. We've heard about Weeks, Perkins and the DL and DBs looking much better and nothing about the OL.
This offseason I can only recall two positive things Kelly has said about the OL - Braelin Moore has nailed down the center position and there's a lot of good competition going on. What? We're three weeks away from a tough road game against Clemson on national TV and that's all you can say about the OL.
I think it's safe to say that all of the scrimmages have been dominated by the defense. I understand we had four OL drafted and I expected a slight drop off, but it's like we've driven straight off a cliff.
I'm hoping the coaches are just playing coy and don't want to give away how awesome the OL has been playing. If that's the case, they need to win an Emmy because they sure have a lot of LSU fooled!

Will you couyons stop melting about stuff 2 1/2 weeks before the first game.

Left guard seems to be an issue. Chester consistently whipped. Mubenga pushing for starting spot. Center and tackles ok

LSU has recruited its arse off on the offensive line and brought in some solid transfers to shore up losses. With a bunch of new guys it’s going to take some time.

This is silly. Who gives a shite if he hasn't acknowledged the OL to your heart's content in the offseason. That means nothing. All that matters is having this team well-prepared to beat Clemson.

I was hoping Alex atkins would bring some of the Florida State run game principals with him. They were really good with the counters and Miss direction

Mubenga ain’t it. Would love to be wrong there but weak link for sure.

Here's what they are saying:
- the depth chart isn't set yet
- the players are very talented at every position
- they are consistently winning 1 on 1 drills
- they need to cut down on mistakes and gell together as a cohesive unit.
All of that sounds like business as usual for basically every o-line with new personnel. Not for nothing, everyone from media to coaches are raving about the upgraded d-line.
The sky is falling, I know.

Sloan said he was very pleased with how the OTs have performed. Right now it seems the biggest issue is guard play.

This OL will be better than the 80s Washington Redskins

i mean we went through this in reverse 2 years ago and everyone said it will be fine when the season starts, the defense will come around. they didn’t
we also couldn’t run block last year and that was with 2 high NFL draft picks on the team
oh yeah and we’re playing a very good defensive front week 1
i’d say concern is more than fair

OL isn't settled 2 1/2 weeks before the first game - at least 2 positions.
That's not good going into the first game against a veteran stacked DL, IMO.
It's still going to be an incredible game. Our D is going to make it hell for them to move the ball...

It's a secret.

Who is Miss direction? What position does she play?

No news is good news.

I don’t think you do understand.
