Come august 31 and the conclusion of camp, where do Jonah Austin, Fehoko Fanaika, Andy Dodd, and Josh Boutte stand on the depth chart, in yalls opinion?
Whos second string, whos third? Whos at LG, RG, or another position

florida cheap shot cost williford $$$$. say what you want but williford absolutely demolished linemen and lb s. And he did it against the best. obviously we will be ok with talent and williford might not have started this year as commented in this thread but we will likely not ever know. The man is a giant that actually moves well and in my opinion one of the best ol to ever play for us. Mr. football or runner up in state of Alabama. I believe this guy gets drafted and plays pro ball but for cheap shot at florida and concern now of scouts.

Yeah, it was after Met's interception in the fires half... The tv didn't show it well but it was obvious on the game study film. I used to have a link

He only weighs 301 that's actually light for sec play IMHO.


As a general statement, I disagree with this. Ideal playing weight varies player to player.

With regard to Hawkins specifically, I think its too early to make a legitimate assessment. Let's wait until we see him in game action. If he has trouble with the bull rush, or giving up ground, then you may have an argument.

If he does need to gain more weight, he has an incredible frame to do so, but he might be fine where he's at. I don't know how legit the reported 4.6 40 times are, but if he's even under 5.0, that is big time athleticism.

We will find out about his weight very shortly. I hope y'all are right and Hawkins does great!

Absolutely hate injury.
But, Vadal at LG and Hawkins at RT may just put everyone in their natural positions and turn out our most athletic line in a while.

Unconscious for five minutes? Come on that's highly unlikely.

I don't know what the hell our offensive line coach is doing. Our guys are constantly injured. Like all the time. So mad am I.

Yeah I saw him tweet that. Just sounds untrue. Probably a big exaggeration.

How can the offensive line coach be held responsible for a guy having concussion problems? You do realize guys in the trenches bang heads all the time and williford was initially injured by a cheap shot.

Also you are dealing with heavy guys who's weight sometimes causes their legs to break down. Not like this is unique to lsu.

Practice reports so far (very early I know), have Boutte & Dodd moving up the depth charts. More so than Fanaika, Edinburgh or anyone else for that matter, with the exception of Pocic (who realistically is too green to be learning anything more than just the center position this early in his career).
