[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 35059, member: 639"] Getting some stability back at OT has got to be a top priority for the OL. Most of the problems created by the OL last year were at the edges or outside. There was a lot of shuffling around of the personnel and some of them were pushed into service a little before they were ready. We saw some potential in guys like Roberts and we saw some glaring problems (and possibly potential) from Chamberlain. It is kind of ironic how stable and secure the position seemed in the spring of 2013. Bailey and Beno seemed like the ideal bookends. This year, heading into spring, it is the biggest question mark. Maybe, or rather hopefully, the result come fall will be another 180 degree turnaround from expectation, this time for the positive. I am excited to hear rumblings about guys like Griffin, but pardon me if I offend, I like to reserve judgement until I get to see them myself. Lord knows we need a guy to come in and be a 4 year type starter out there. I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but I have thought about the possibility of using Kallon at OT, especially if DT doesn't work out. My thought process is like this: he has really really nimble feet and long arms to go along with 300 pounds. At the OT position, you really don't have to defeat people like you do at DT. When we throw, you have to move your feet and catch people or direct them off their path. Very often, when we run, you are out in space finding moving targets and knocking them off their path. I dunno, it is just a crazy thought on my part. Maybe it is a bad thought because you have to be really good with your hands and I think that is what is limiting his growth at DT. So much for playing soccer your whole life. [/QUOTE]
