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.

Believe it or not there's a learning curve for OL regardless of talent, just not a position many can just step in and play at a high level although his talent I'm sure is admirable.
I still think its crazy you Aggies are so confident about Matthews, but whatever, time will tell.
Losing the center Patrick Lewis is a HUGE deal as well, centers are not easily replaced, and the fact that JFF is going to be in the shotgun a lot could open up some opportunities for mistakes in big moments, but thats part of the growing process and the best teams overcome that.
