[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 858029, member: 630"] You are correct. We need to be 2 deep with 3rd, 4th and 5th year OL players, and we haven't been there the past 3 years. The subsequent comments are correct that we are behind the curve. There are enough running backs for most schools to have quality RBs with depth, and those guys can play as Fr and Soph. There are not enough OL and DTs to go around, which is why Texas is paying $50k for OL. How many really athletic 6'5" 300 lb HS kids are there? You play 5 at a time on O and you need 4 ready to go on D for rotation, so not enough to go around. TE is similar, which is why Texas is paying $10K/yr for them. Yesterday I looked at the depth chart for the Pitt game in 2018. Our biggest starting lineman weighed 287, which was Lee at C. On most squads, the C is the smallest guy. This is the hole this staff inherited. With only the third OL recruiting class for this staff coming in this year, it's the curve we are behind. Hopefully Tchio and Quick will be able to hit the ground running. I believe each has 3 years eligibility left. It will probably be 2023 before we are anywhere near stable at OL and DT. People need to understand this and give Collins, Key, Long and whoever the DC is going to be time to get there. [/QUOTE]
