🏈 O Line Outlook

[Tidestalker]

Let me start by saying I'm pretty shocked to see how Wills' value has risen over the months. I was always kind of under the assumption that Leatherwood was the better prospect (especially playing LT), but Wills put together a very good career. On the other hand, what a win to get Leatherwood back! Again... Fantastic off season for returners.

Hard to see either of the 2 recruits taking a spot (Cohen & George). I know Cohen really finished the HS process strong but he doesn't appear to be that dominant physical talent it would take to unseat some of these experienced guys.

I'm assuming it would look something like this:

LT: Leatherwood
LG: Dickerson
OC: Ekiyor or Owens
RG: Brown
RT: Neal

Bench: Nice to have either Owens or Ekiyor coming off the bench to basically can play either of the 3 interrior positions. Can Knight be a swing tackle backup? Quick or Bowles?

I'm sure there is a potential for Dickerson to stay at OC with the experience, but the snapping was a disaster in the Iron Bowl. It never felt like a natural fit. JMO

Any thoughts or intel to add?! RTR

This is what I"m expecting leaving camp...if there is a "spring" camp.

@Tidestalker I've got this feeling that we're looking at a season a lot like Tennessee did when they left 1997 with Peyton going into 1998 with Tee Martin.

Dalencourt must be special, yeah?

I was expecting 1 of the 2 dudes with experience to get the nod there.

Also have you heard who would be that 3rd tackle candidate?

It's all about what I think we'll see out of Neal. If he shores up right tackle, it's then about the best four. Dickerson may want to hold on to the center position, don't know. He's a nice fit at left guard. They can run through him.

Would be nice to have a totally dominant Oline like 2012....
These guys could be that good...
