O-line picture is clearing up.

It is going to be Richmond, Jones, Robertson, Smith, Kendrick from L to R in all likelihood.

Thomas with an outside shot to win the C job (which would push Robertson to LG and Jones to 6th man).

If Hall is healthy (very doubtful) you would see Kendrick, Smith, Robertson, Jones, Hall

Coaches love the Jones/Hall and Kendrick/Smith combos so those guys are going to stick together if possible.

I love to hear that Richmond is locking down the LT position. I think for the first time since 2012 OL will be a strong suit of this team which should really elevate out QB/RB play.

I bet this happens. Is there confidence that Richmond is going to be able to at least hold his own? A new S&C and line coach could be huge for him, but last year he was getting manhandled at times.

Love the potential this line has but Wells is an unknown.

I have mixed feeling about putting Robertson at C. I think he'd do great that but he's also an AA guard. And he might be of help to Smith at RT. I'm just not sold on Kendrick. He's serviceable enough and lord knows he's gotten better since his early years but I like to run on that side behind the RG and RT and ideally Robertson would be RG and Smith would be RT this season. That said, don't get me wrong - we will be fine with Kendrick there (just not as good as we can be but that may have to wait).

I've gone full blown negaVOL but this has me cautiously optimistic, at least up front
