I read all the time LSU fans saying if the OL is good then LSU will be good.

Nonetheless, I'm betting that LSU's OL in 2020 will be stellar. You want to know why?

Well, although we have to replace four offensive linemen, three of the four projected offensive line starters are former starters or have a lot of starting experience.

For instance, Dare Rosenthal started several games last season at left tackle when Saahdiq Charles was suspended and played superb. He is also an elite player who legendary head coach John Robinson predicts will be a future first-round draft choice.

In addition, Ed Ingram was a starter in 2017 before being suspended for the 2018 season and about half of the 2019 season. However, when he was a starter, he was our best offensive lineman at that time. Ed Ingram really excels at pass pro.

In 2018, Chasen Hines either played or started 10 games until he tore his ACL. However, when he played I thought he was our best offensive lineman. Then everyone expected him to be the left guard going into 2019. However, he wasn't allowed to compete for a starting job because he was still rehabbing his knee. Then subsequently after he was fully recuperated, he was moved to center to apprentice under Lloyd Cushenberry in anticipation of taking over that roll in 2020.

Meanwhile, the only true virgin of the bunch is 6 foot 5 inch 365 pound behemoth redshirt freshman Anthony Bradford. Moreover, Ed O said the other day on the radio that he thought Bradford would be our best offensive lineman in 2020. Bradford is also noteworthy for being the strongest recruit in the 2019 recruiting class.

Then lastly but certainly not least is Austin Deculus at right tackle who will be the starter there for his third straight season in a row in 2020.

Hence, given the level of experience and the massive size of this offensive line, I feel very good about LSU's offensive line going into 2020.

How do you guys feel about the LSU offensive line heading into 2020?

I heard Kardell Thomas is a little behind Bradford after suffering that horrific ankle injury and then having to rehab his injury for most of the season last year. However, it is believed he will be a starter next season or maybe sooner if one of the starters gets injured.

I believe that the OLine will be strong. This team will go as far as Myles Brennan can take them.

You’re sleeping on Liam Shanahan. He’s gonna push the hell out of Hines for the center position!

Plus Thomas and Shanahan

In short, the OL is deep. I think the unit will be good. Let's see if they can be great.

I can agree with a lot of what you said but for me it is just simpler. The new scheme to unload the ball in <2.5 sec or RPO drastically helps the OL. Last year the same bunch that everyone, including the media, thought sucked the year before won the Joe Moore trophy for best OL in the NCAA...

I do give the OL credit for playing well last year but you have to realize their job changed from 2018 to 2019.

Our OL will be just fine as long as Brennan makes his reads and gets the ball out as fast as Burrow did last year.

This year oline will be more talented. They can be better than last years but sill look worse if Brennan holds the ball or doesn't check down or can move in the pocket.
