#5 is too generous for Bama until we know the lineup. They could be better, and they could be worse.

What? We're no better than like 10th in the SEC. I'm not kidding. Our OL blows.

Did you read the description? Our starting 5 is good. Not great plenty of interior depth to push for that RG spot, but worst case we have a guy fighting to keep a job that he's had it last years. Center is meh. RT is a guy who started D1 football at LT two years ago. OT depth is scary bad. Read the descriptions of the other schools. I'm not sure we are better than UGA or Mizzou because I don't know those teams, but our starting 5 is better than everyone else's behind them.

Article completely ignored both MSU and OM's questionmark -- at right tackle.

I haven't seen a publication yet that accurately portrayed our situation...

I guess because yours is so confusing. You have a kid who has sucked his whole career but has plenty of size an experience, a barely recruited JC, and a guard who was hurt last year competing for the spot. Can't imagine a whole lot of national publications would know that. I thought he kinda got ours rigjt with Fahn an Rod competing for RT spot instead of provide depth. One will start (Fahn), the other will provide depth (Rod). Conyers will be the other tackle that provides depth. They didn't get it right but close. Fahn at RT isn't a huge question mark when he started at LT as a freshmen at BG. I'm sure they do not know that either. Left side of the line will be as good as any in the country. Right side has potential and at least on paper will he Freeze's best right side

Dude we have no one else. Out tackle depth is CUSA level. We could certainly use your Jucos that y'all are using in your two deep.

We don't have a competition for the spot. It's Malone's natural position -- and his to lose.

If it was a pressing concern(aka Robinson in line to play important snaps), it seems we would have Senior over there getting reps, as he's the 3rd best OT we've got and actually got a start and played a bunch of snaps last year at LT with no one really knowing the difference between he/Clausell, while we always knew when Robinson spelled Siddoway. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jake Thomas and Rufus Warren surpass Robinson too. Warren especially...

Johnson hasn't been moved to tackle yet(Hev always teaches our scheme by starting guys out at guard). He's fought some nagging injuries and there seems to be a chance he redshirts as of now.

So it's his natural position that he couldn't beat our Siddoway for?

When he went down last year, we literally started a guy that initially walked-on for the remainder of the season(that was pretty good in his own right) in Beckwith, while also playing the first true freshman OL under Mullen(first since Sherrod).

Lack of "ready" guard depth and the constant injuries to Tobias Smith is why Malone had to play inside initially. It had nothing to do with him being better than Siddoway at T(he is) -- but the fact that he actually could play both well -- while Siddoway could not.

We flirted with disaster at OG in 12 and 13.
