will our OL play improve this year?

I say yes (barring injuries of course).
1-the players are older and more physically mature
2-the players are more experienced
3-it seems we will see some changes in scheme to add plays that develop faster
4-joe burrow has more experience
what do you guys think?

It will all fall on scheme and playcalling. A good OC could have done more with LSU's offense last year by scheming around the weaknesses and playing to their strengths. Let's hope E will take a leap this season.

So you're saying I should continue to hope and pray?

Biggest problem last year is our OL had no strength

When is the OL ever an issue? Seems like the past 15 seasons this is invariably the strength of the offense.

Yes because 250 years of college football history has shown that returning offensive linemen improve and are better than the year before.

I think 1 2 and 4 are all pretty much the same, but outside of that I completely agree. time will tell how much experience will really matter and we'll have to wait and see how true the quick passing offense is. If all is true, I see no reason why we shouldn't have really good OL play and therefore one of the best offenses in the SEC

yes it can. the 09 and 99 lines come to mind.
barring injuries, I think we'll be improved.

Hopefully! But my concern is it didn't seem to improve much over the course of last season.
I also wonder if any younger guys redshirted last year will push into starting spots. Dare Rosenthal maybe?

It will almost certainly improve, but I think the real question is how much? Burrow was one of the most sacked quarterbacks in the SEC on a per pass basis. LSU allowed the most sacks period, but it gets worse when you consider that LSU doesn't throw as much as other teams. It was an abysmal performance, coupled with a running game that only averaged 4.01 YPC, 3rd worst in the SEC.
I think the run blocking should improve immensely, especially given how solid the line will be in the middle. The concern is the tackles. Now, they should improve just via experience and not shuttling a new guy in every week like we did for two months, but we probably need Wire or Resonethal to come in and be a stud right away to see a huge jump in tackle play.
But I'd like to see LSU just be league average in sacks allowed. It's been a long time since LSU has had even a reliably solid line.

Marginally yes. If you are expecting significant improvement, you will be disappointed.
