Echols is the only lineman we have that puts people on their arse. He doesn’t always do it but he’s capable.

Whenever you see an offensive lineman laying on top of a defensive player 10 yards down field, he's doingvgreat!

He’s got a lot of potential. A healthy Adams, Echols, Curne, Thomas, and some of the younger/less experienced guys like Williams and the younger Bordelon would be a good starting point for the next OL if we can hold onto them.

He was highlighted for something positive and that hasn’t happened a lot this year. Very frustrating that Kelly didn’t experiment with the lineup more.

Fantastic. Why hadn't he been playing that way all year long?

And in the past version of cfb that would have been cause for optimism.

But if you think all are back next year you are kidding yourselves.

It would be interesting and informative if someone knew and could post the facts on why certain Olinmen played while others sat all year. How much did the NIL bag amount for each play in their playing time. There were some very strange lineups, especially after we have seen better play lately by players who never played early in the year.

I think you keep working with Ory and Adams as your starting tackles. I think Curne and Thomas are your guards barring no setbacks. Center will be either Moore returning for a final season or Echols. Sure we will look for guys in the portal, but I think this starting 5 can become a strong unit after a couple games under their belt next year.

He didn’t start until Mubenga got hurt, but he got consistent rotation snaps at LG all season.

If there are core guys they want to keep, they just need to invest the NIL money to do that.

He will be 100% improved next season with a new OL coach

Do we know anything about Thomas other than he was a 5 star? I know he has been hurt most of the season. Has he played?

They'll be fine as soon as we get a guy in here who can actually develop them. The talent is there.

He's a better run blocker currently but he should have been starting all year. Chester and mubenga had no business on field. I think he's gonna turn into a really good one with another off-season and a different o line coac...

As for now, you only lose Josh Thompson.

This is your only question that I know the answer for. It is zero.

Again
His nil is probably less then the lineman he was playing behind
Have to keep the agents happy to get the next client

He finishes blocks extremely well. Curne does it in the run game too but he needs to be a guard. Ory had some really nice reps in both pass and run blocking. But Echols seems to be gaining more confidence and he finishes blocks extremely hard. Love it.
