Most of the Diaper Brigade on this board apparently have no idea what an Offensive Line is and what it does.

Nobody on the one at LSU, would make the two-deep OL depth chart at Alabama.

You have to Protect the Quarterback on passing plays, in addition to run blocking. In order to do that, all 5 OL's have to know their reads and assignment. If just one of them whiffs, it falls apart. We've seen way too much of that lately and I haven't seen anything to provide evidence that it will change much in 2018.

Burrow will be a dramatic improvement at the position, but until we get 5 starting OL's that are consistently good at "Quick Information Processing" and can physically dominate who they're supposed to be blocking, the LSU Offense will not be as good as everybody wants.

And who's the fricking starting Center that will make all the OL calls? Lloyd "Nobody in the SEC recruited Me" Cushenberry, Damiem "I've never played Center" Lewis or Cole "True freshman that's not big or strong enough Yet" Smith.

Shake those Pom Poms, keep your heads buried in the sand and down vote away kiddies.

Reality sets in this season when we can't keep pressure off Joe and Myles against upper level SEC teams...…..

Take a bottle scotch, add some pills and keep the S&W in the nightstand. We had two starting tackles out during the spring. When health returns the results will be there. Cushenberry will be fine. Lewis is an animal at guard. RELAX... or follow my advice above.

You know Cush was committed to South Carolina before he flipped to LSU on signing day right? And that South Carolina is an SEC team?

Bruh did you see the Bama game last season?
Ok say you're right! Our 3rd string Bama O-line without the added depth it will have this season pushed Bama's starting defense up and down the field. LSU fans haven't seen play like that against them for a hot minute. LSU fans can only hope that they get the same type of push against them this year in Death Valley.
The LSU qb DE had time for days but couldn't hit the deep ball on several opportunities.
LSU fans should have plenty of cautious optimism going into this season.
My concerns are here, if I'm not mistaken none of the projected starters at qb, rb, wr have actually started a game for LSU so there's that.
