[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 750158, member: 857"] I'd say when we turn the corner in the trenches. It's a game of the trenches. Win up front and you usually win the game. The offensive line has made strides but clearly isn't there. Our best OL this year is a 1-yr rental. But Jordan Williams is clearly the real deal (starting and holding his own as a tr-FR). OL Recruiting has looked good so far, and Key is a proven offensive line coach recruits want to play for. But I am no sure when the thing starts gathering critical mass. Gotta figure it will eventually. Transfers could help plug the gaps. Maybe Cochran will come next year. DL is much less sure. That the walk-on DT Brooks and DE Ryans have developed and that Jordan Domineck is coming along looks good for Marco Coleman. On the other hand the walk-ons also speak to how bare the cupboard is on the DL. With 2 rush DE's committed from the GA top 50 so far and another rivals 5.6 DE this class, clearly some help will ultimately be on the way. That on top of 5.6 guys in Kennard and Wright, and 5.7 Ivey look promising. But unless you are grabbing 4 or 5-star guys they usually need time to develop. DT also questionable. Stone and Johnson are 2 big dudes from last class (5.6 and 5.3 respectively). Biggers (5.2) in the current class will likely need time like TJ Barnes did. So some size coming but pretty green. Maybe Jahaziel comes back next year after a year of development and is good. Losing Chimezda hurt, but maybe he can come back strong. Griffin and Douse show flashes but are undersized. Lockhart is a big and was a 5.7. Recruiting hasn't been as good at DT as at DE. Just depends on the how the guys develop and if we can bring in some good transfers and maybe some 5.7 or higher DT types. Generally I think we are playing better and getting more competitive and this will continue as the lines get rebuilt. And we may still be 1-3 years off before winning the Coastal is realistic. Wouldn't be surprised to see us be a .500 type team next year and 8-4 the next, then have some pretty good years. [/QUOTE]
