[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 818436, member: 282"] Some rules of thumb with “returning talent” [LIST] [*]All things being equal, experience is a great thing [*]If a freshman beats out a really good upperclassman who’s giving their all (like Trevor Lawrence did), that’s a great thing [*]If an underclassman is pushing an upperclassman, and the upperclassman plays better and keeps their spot, that’s a good thing. [*]If you have to play an underclassman who plays poorly, that’s a bad thing [*]From what I’m seeing, we have 5-8 good things happening [/LIST] (I’m choosing my words carefully here) Two years ago was ugly on the offensive line. Even with our first choice line all healthy, there were places we were going to get beat. Last year was a little better, but not as much improvement as I’d hoped for, and we lacked depth. When we got dinged up, we either had to play someone hurt, or ran into issues. This year, it looks like we have multiple starter-level players competing for each position. It’s not a lock that we’ll be good. Because of transfers in some positions, and youth in others, and injuries last year, we may have a lot of experience in snaps, but not a lot of snaps together as a line. I think individual performance will be good, but I’m also looking for good communication and coordination between the linemen. [/QUOTE]
