re: O Line is a weakness and we don't seem to be improving it with this class

So 12-16 olineman at all times. That should go over well considering only 5 can play.

I remember when the Orgeron lovers were slamming Miles for bad OLine recruiting

You think Les recruited the lines well his last several years?

Jury is still out on Orgeron. His first full recruiting class (2018) has been a total disaster. 2019 and 2020 had some decent prospects, but obviously they haven't done anything on the field yet. Of course, they are freshmen and sophomores. Usually offensive lineman take a couple of years to develop.

No, I think we are after at least 3

But we need them to be three good ones
Numbers are not everything.

We took 6 DL in 2018.
0 are contributing

He needs to finish with the three good ones.

Honestly, I think Lewis is his best OL recruit?

4/5th of our OL in 2019 were Grimes recruits.

Our OL sucked in 2018 and sucks thisnyear.

He needs to pull it together. Get some guys and more importantly get those guys ready to play.

Right, but those were also Miles recruits largely that won the Natty — Deculus, Charles, Cush, Magee, Ingram

Do I think they were Joe Moore award greatness in reality? No, I think Burrow, Clyde and the scheme made them look better than they were. But still good enough to win a Natty

You do realize basically every team out there with the 85 limit has between about that many, right?

Best post I’ve seen in. Long time.


Par level for oLine is fluid.


I say you keep 4 LT and 3everywhere else.



LT-4
LG-3
C-3
RG-3
RT-3







Folks don’t understand why/how bama/Uga do this.


It’s not about 5 positions and the two deep. It’s about keeping the other ~6 non-contributors developing in size and the playbook.

By the time they are sophomore/juniors, they hit the ground running. The development of depth is what keeps you from forcing a frosh into The starting line up.....it happens, but not ideal.

We are going after the top in the country. We have Martinez and dumerville. Our O line will be better

We just got to get them.

We went after too DL in the country for years and it got us here.

You gotta land the players.

I’m not saying I’m not optimistic.

Finish strong and who gives a frick about this year?

Dumervil will be a stud. He's naturally gifted.
