[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 35055, member: 628"] griffin reminds me a ton of andy gardner, in build and athleticism. He is a straight T...and needs to stay and grow there. I hope he is good enough to make chamberlain a career backup, says more about griffin than anything. Roberts is a fighter and I think will grow into his frame a ton this offseason after his playing time....he is also listed smaller than he is...he is at least 6-4 and probably closer to 300 now. One thing to note, the three of our potential Tackles (including chamberlain) are not even close to what paul recruited early on. In general they are taller 6-4/6-5/6-6 guys with longer arms and more of a true tackle build. They will all play around 300, in our O they need to move so I don't see them near 320 ever. But what I do like is they are bigger frames, long arms...this is much more what we need for pass blocking and to help beat those quick DE we see. Again, I have complained a ton about our OL concept and recruiting. But the younger guys are exactly what we need. Bigger frames, can carry 300 with no problems, and the gaurds have to be hogs. 315/320....i think one of our best performances up the middle was when we had cord howard at guard he was like 315 and would blow holes open....we need to get back to that massive pounding GCG combo...and we finally may have it. Mason 305/310 Devine 320 Burden or Oreilly 300ish I am excited about the potential. However lack of depth and youth may utlimately make 2014 another just ok line year. 2015 will be a different story. I see a line no worse than 2013. Although its hard to project i better either. My key is this...IF and a BIG IF...we can get a starting 5 through spring and fall totally healthy...which has NEVER happened under johnson, and that 5 gels etc...then it could be a really nice year on the line.
