with a new OL coach coming in, it's hard to call some spots. he may move some guys around. I think LT, C, and RT remain the same, but again, you never know.


We have a lot of talent IMO. The right hire here could really come in and solidify a great unit. I'm hoping its Bostad

Collins isn't staying another year to move back to guard. He will be our LT, its inevitable.

I thought the word was that the NFL thinks Collins is more of a guard then tackle.


That is what he'd get drafted as right now. He's had 1 year at LT but 2 playing guard where he was more dominant. Fact is that they want to see more of Collins at LT before investing which is reasonable.

No offense(pun intended), but we've been hearing this for 100 years or so.


So thinks can't keep getting better or did you not approve of the line that protected a 300+ yard passer while opening things up for a 1000+ yard rusher?

I'm a sunshine pumper as much as the next guy, and I will say our run blocking was pretty damn good all year. But, we did have some times where the pass blocking fell the F apart last year. Especially late in the year.

I know Pocic is a fantastic offensive lineman, but my question is how well to you guys think Pocic will be if he does transition to a guard position?

Seems Pocic has more of a tackle build (and agility). I say he beats out Hawkins at RT. Boutte at RG, then Porter, Vadal and Collins moving down the line.

Why can't Porter play guard? Less thinking, more violence. Might be a win-win for both guys.
