Fellow barners what o line do you think would give us the best run blocking? IMO LT-Mosley LG-Westerman C-Dismukes RG-Burgess(Mack if he'd lose weight) RT-Slade
I think they should work Greg Robinson at RG just to see how he does.
As for pass rushing I think our most effective D line would be Egaue, Sanders, Ford, Lemonier. We need to pressure the pocket and Carter & Whittaker weren't getting it done Saturday.
Thoughts?

Like the lineups now they need aggression, execution, and being physical. If I recall right the big turn for our O Line last year came in the 2nd half of the Clemson game. Wondering if the light turns on for this young line too. I say hell yeah.



(pretty please)

I assume you'd move Eguae inside with Sanders?

You'd be giving up a bit just to make it a better passrushing line. It's smaller, so it might struggle stopping the run against a strong OL...

Greg Robinson
Gonna be a huge bust unless he's changed a lot since he was in high school.

Sounds to me like changes are coming:

Lots of talk about the offensive line, which I wrote about for Wednesday’s paper. Alas, Mosley came in for interview after I had already filed my story (stupid East Coast deadlines). Anyway, Chizik challenged the o-line to be physical. It stung. “We take it real personal, and it makes us mad when we go out there,” Mosley said. He said it bothers him when people call the line “soft.”

Mosley moved from the right side to the left in the offseason. It’s a bigger difference than you’d think, but he’s getting comfortable. “I am, but we’ll probably make a few changes: Go to right, or stay at left,” he said. “We’ll see. Whatever they need me to play I’ll play.”

So does that means changes are on the horizon on the o-line? “I’m not sure,” Mosley said with a grin. “We’ll see. There’s no telling.” (My take: sounds like some shuffling might take place.)


Wouldn't surprise me at all to see'em slide Moseley back to the right side and plug in Robinson on the left. Also ain't gonna surprise me when Westerman takes over Cooper's job either.

I think it would be a very, very bad idea to play in the SEC with 250 lb defensive tackles (except on rare "situational" plays).
