Some folks started writing off Kardell (the recruiting pundits specifically) because of his weight, but that's clearly zero issue now. He was truly a 5-star through and through. Would utterly dominate some kid at camps and loves to finish.

If he's not starting this next year (We got some great returning guys and depth at guard specifically), it would surprise me if he didn't take over for Lewis in 2020. If I'm Davis or Emery, that's the guy I want to run behind.

Not calling Kardell a liar, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

It's not the run blocking that everybody has to worry about.

"Swag" isn't going to help the OL learn how to pass block without breaking down consistently.

We need 5 OL's on the same page at the same time and I haven't seen that at LSU in quite a number of years. (8 years to be exact)

The only reason for optimism this season is that I like Brady stating that they're going to use more quick developing pass plays so the OL will not have to hold their blocks so long. He's basically admitting that the OL is weak in pass blocking and they're going to try and scheme around that fact.

Hey Ed, Steve, James and Joe......how about recruiting OL's that already have a fundamental knowledge on how to pass block because they played for a high school team that threw the ball a lot; not so much of a learning curve then.

I certainly don't think they're having to "Scheme" around OL's that can't pass block at Clemson and Bama!
