I feel pretty good about the kid going forward if we can coach up the young OL and have some consistency there next yr.

Add in a little pocket presence and the experience gained and we will be ok. A new OC would help though.

How much did he improve from NT to Clemson? I say about that much.


He'll be a first round NFL draft choice if he improves that much. In the beginning of the year he couldn't pick up blitzes or get us in the right play. All of that was cleaned up by the last third of the year. Mett was good this year. We have other problems going into next year but QB isn't one of them.

We need to worry more about the O line and receivers. Mett will be fine.


This. And also on all this deep ball talk wouldn't that directly relate to the o line giving him time so the routes can develop? I mean I seem to remember him throwing some nice deep throws all the way back to the spring game.

The most glaring improvement I see he can make is just pocket presence, he took far too many sacks when just rolling out and throwing it away was a much more viable option IMO.
