Woof, this is concerning

Not sure how you can spin this as a positive either

Eventually, the 5 or 6 will separate themselves or there will be an injury.

Doing this against Clemson’s D line will not end well

This isn't that concerning. They like 8 guys. Every year you have guys that emerge later in the year after getting their opportunities to play. Players grow throughout the year. Maybe they don't think someone like Curne is ready right now but maybe by mid season they think he will be a guy that they can really count on with game reps.

Well, it's very concerning after a full spring and fall camp that nobody has separated themselves

Clemson’s D line

You mean the one that was 37th in sacks and 85th in rushing defense last year? Shaking in my boots.

Is this because you have two guys at a position who suck or two guys who are both capable?

BK is talking about the Clemson game. Not the whole season. He is talking about playing all these guys against CLEMSON...

He's saying LT, RG and C are locked in. LG and RT aren't. The only way to truly know who can execute in the game is to play them in the game.

It's also not all that uncommon to see OL rotations early in the season. It's just most fans don't notice it because they aren't really focusing on the OL

If we were returning 4 starters and the backups were just so good we couldn’t keep them off the field, great.

After this offseason, this is concerning to stay the least

You will get flamed because this time of year everyone is pumping sunshine. But this is an awful sign. You’ve seen mubenga and Chester with your own eyes, and those guys are in the rotation. If they are in competition with others, the others can’t be far ahead. The OLine play will probably be the ceiling on the team and there will be problems with them early on.

Bingo. All the camp reports have not been good either

Issa trap!

BK gon’ have Dabo and their DC waiting for backups to send pressure.

But the subs never come… and we go up big. And Dabo’s over there like “no fair!”

That is actually not good at all. You want the same starting 5 from about week 3 of camp until the end of the season.

It means they don't like what they have

Not ideal. Kind of the old saying if you’ve got two quarterbacks, you don’t have any quarterbacks. We’ll see though.

Seems like LSU has some real depth along the line.

If you have multiples who are fairly equal, then rotating them keeps them fresher, especially in the first game. As a few get nicked, and you settle in.

You okay bro?? Sounding like you need a hug in this thread



Stop acting like such a bitch. Not everything needs to be spun into a negative- you have zero clue what the coaches see
