I want to see how good Johnny Manziel will look without two first round offensive tackles protecting him next year.

Well the problems are that:
1) Matthews the will likely come back, shift to LT, and play about as well as Joeckel did this year.
2) We've got another mega hoss named Joseph Cheek who was a redshirt fish this year and who'll be ready to step in. Talent-wise, he's potentially first day material (his dad played OL in the NFL for quite awhile, so he's got the bloodlines).

Yea, Mike Sherman couldn't coach a 2nd half to save his life, but he recruited an insane amount of OL talent. It's not out of the realm of possibility that 4-5 of his OL recruits are first day draft picks.

So anyway, the point is, you might have to keep waiting if you want to see Johnny without a top notch OL.

Manziel is so mobile that any offensive line losses will not be felt as much as they would at most schools. Hell most of his best plays were when the defense blitzed, got instant pressure and he either took off or ran around and threw against sinle overage.
