Assuming Coleman, Kozan, Golson, Smith and Young remain healthy, how will this year's O-line compare to 2010 and 2013?

Theoretically it should definitely be as good. Probably more athletic than the 2013 line.

Better than either of those lines based on talent... Some future NFL players on next years line for sure...

I don't see a 2nd overall pick on this line but as a whole unit they should hold their own and make plenty of holes for our run game

But that line had Chad Slade so at best that 2nd RD pick advantage is a wash

Fluctuations in the force - I can tell it's late July by how bipolar this board is starting to become in terms of expectations. Lots of pessimism and optimism spurting out from everyone's keyboard...we move ever forward to Fall.

Coleman better physically than Ziemba but Ziemba had a ton of experience, not quite as good as Robinson.
Kozan better than Berry and hopefully has progressed since 2013.
Golson better than Pugh but not as much experience, but not as good as Dismukes.
Braden Smith better than Isom and Slade
Young better than Mosely and hopefully has progressed since 2013.

That has me excited about our OL.

Thanks.
BTW is your avi photoshopped with AU logo on tee?

Better overall. Nobody as dominant as Greg Robinson though. Braden has that potential but he's young. GRob was a freak, his 2013 highlights are insane.

No it's not. But don't know her and can't remember where I found it. Someone on here knows her, might be LCT but can't remember. I have had it since 2010.

I'm not discounting this line at all. I just want people to realize to accomplish what those OLines accomplished they have to be nothing short of incredible

I think we are going to seriously miss Dismukes, but that happens. Also Coleman got his arse schooled a lot last year. Hoping for more from him.

Kozan and Braden smith will be the unknown. We can live with the others.
Will Alex be 100% and will Braden Smith live up to the hype. I think so

The line will be more talented overall.
As far as how good they are, I expect on par with 2013.
No way they are as good as 2010. I made a post a while back about the combined starts those guys had, and it was off the charts. Pretty much all 5 had been playing together since their freshman or sophomore years, were multi year starters and almost the whole line started the 2009 season together in almost every game. I think it was after the South Florida game about the 3rd game of the season in 2007 when 3 of them started together as a unit. They had so many games under their belt individually and as a unit.

Like most of the team the potential is there but we have some unknowns.

Dismukes won the Rimington. How can you call Golson an upgrade when he's never played a down in an Auburn uniform, and he's never played center?
How is SR Avery Young with 2 more years of starting experience the same as his sophomore self? Most players are much better as seniors than they were as underclassmen..

I said same for Young because its the same player at the position...not based on his overall experience
