Will we need to replace the entire line next year either due to underperforming or eligibility? That’s a big task

Here is another beautiful theory about to be murdered by a brutal gang of facts. You mean replace the entire offensive line that out gained Bama for 90% of the game?

Won’t really have much choice.

Seaton gone.
Moore gone.

Have to make decisions with Satterwhite, Bah, and Davis.

Davis has actually improved this year.
Both guard positions will need to be addressed.

Problem is you are a slave to what enters the portal. Then you have to over pay for those guys due to competition.

Then they have to arrive and gel with team.

It’s not a simple process and there is risk.

I’ll admit, having 5 new starters and a new OL coach certainly isn’t ideal

And you TE is likely gone as are maybe a WR or two.

Which then, for the "it's year 1" crowd, puts you right back with a lot of new players. That's the fallacy of "it's only year 1". EVERY year is year 1 to varying degrees.

I like the crop of freshmen they got. I think Brysten Martinez could start at one of the tackle spots next year.

Miret at C is really good. He’ll be a 3 year starter I think.

Hopefully they can get something out of Devin Harper, whether it be at guard or tackle.

We're not new to CFB. The system hasn't been in place for a solid season yet. There's a foundation that needs to be built and it's happening right now. It's ok if you're impatient. Most of the country is. Don't confuse people who can live in reality with people who are naive or simply pumping sunshine. If you listened to Lane speak about expectations to start the year, none of this would surprise you.

Really disappointed in How LSU has done with High School recruiting on OL. UGA, Bama ,OH sT just bring in 2 to 3 HS Studs yearly and they seem to Dominate a year later. LSU has OL Projects that struggle 3 years later in the system. Can we finally start putting OL /OL coach at the top of the list for making LSU competitive against Elite SEC schools. Just doesnt seem like it has been a priority for a long time.

A lot of people did not listen to a word he said. They saw the flashing lights and heard the name Kiffin and immediately let their imagination take the wheel.
I was certain we would beat Alabama by this point in the season but that’s the only expectation I had.
I was wrong.

good chance we look to upgrade all spots. let's face it. it all start at the LOS. we do not have the powerful pummeling lines we had under saban and miles.

miles took a dominant line and ran PREDICTABLE stuff between tackles.....never used whole field hardly running or passing and STILL had a decent PA passing game off those runs. that is the difference a good line can make. and miles did it with 1 and 2 receiver I formations sets! not 3 and 4 and 5 wide. they had to respect the run so much they loaded box with 9 then lee would do a play ac tion from under center and bombs away to randle and tolliver.

our o line sucks compared to those days.

now imagine a real good line that has a Qb who can run zone reads, power reads, RPO's, etc. we do a good job of mixing in inside and outsode plays. but our downfield game is lacking and i have not seen a post route all year. hardly no streaks. just some fades.

JJ and lee were throwing bombs, burrow, daniels, flynn, JR, mauck, davey, booty........but not sam? wtf? and yes we could split that cover 2 with a post route. teams do not respect the run game. we dinked and dunked and took what they gave us..but we need a dominant o line which opens up all other plays.

That's the problem with living in the portal. offensive line isn't a plug and play position. They have to be developed more so than any other position. also continuity, having reps with the same guys, is huge

Seatonis draft eligible and projected to be a top 10 pick. Why would he stay?

Even when you had Bad Brad and 4 returning starters OL was bad… it’s skill/ attitude of player and coaching scheme need mean arse mofos… LSU even in 19 OL was average… Joe and 4 1st round play makers covered up a lot of average Ol play.

I thought you knew ball.

Womack sat back and basically gave up everything underneath. Yards mean nothing. Points mean everything. On top of that lsu couldn't run the ball.

no. they were good but not great like old sabana nd niles o lines.

if they were just average joe woulda never had the stats he had. this is a false narrative that needs to die.

most all those o lineman are still playing NFL

ed ingram-still playing
saddiq charles-still playing
damien lewis-still playing
lloyd cushenberry-still playing
deculus-practice squad for cardinals.

all those are still on teams

Weston Davis will be back. Need to heavily invest in the INTERIOR offensive line.
