I've never been more unsure about how an OL will perform.

Flowers, Feliciano, McDermott have a ton of experience. I think we're good there.

Isidora, Gadbois, Gall, KC, Darling, Wells, Odogwu will probably all be counted on to play. These guys have proven next to nothing.

Does anyone have any insight on how these people are progressing?

Are we f*cked? Or could this possibly be a strength?

I'm thinking we ****ed right now, but I hope this crew shuts me up and the OL actually becomes a strength.

Kehoe's time has passed and it's time for a change.

Gadbois and Odogwu at RT scares me.

Isidora seems like the real deal but who is backing him up? Gall? Wells? Darling?

I really hope Lil McDermott and Darling aren't forced into starting. I expect both to be in the rotation though.

Big McDermott has been alright at C, and I think Gall is better but he'll have to wait a year before being the starter.

Wells is ****** terrible and shouldn't be getting any reps, let alone holding a scholarship on this team.

Wells, Gadbois, and isidora have played in some games last year so they will be fine. The OLine play this year will be fine.

I'm not worried about the OL. Being unproven and having a mean streak ( gadbois, sonny, gall, isidora) isn't that bad. Being an unproven puissoir is frightening
 
Most likely not. Flowers and Feliciano are very good. McDermott is only good against terrible teams. The other guys...eh, we'll see, but we weren't very good with experienced guys last year.
 
4 or 5 games in we'll know for sure. Being great or at least good the first couple games, getting better each game after that, and staying healthy would be nice.

If we don't continue to run stretch plays and play hat on hat and bulldoze we should be fine...

Agreed we need to find someone to replace our center. Against good teams he was dominated.
 
2/5 of the line is really good (Flowers and Mongo), 2/5 is unproven (RT and Isadora) and the other is average at best (Shane McD).

Behind those guys are a whole lot of question marks. A couple of freshmen will most likely be relied upon in Kc McD and Darling. And the backups have little to no experience in Gall and Sonny. ****, even our projected starters on the right side have little to no experience in Gadbois and Darling.

I do not expect to be dominant in the trenches at all. I expect them to be serviceable or slightly better this year.

That's real sad considering he is probably the best corch on the team .
