So Bama has to rebuild while LSU reloads? Interesting

Arkansas fans will never cease to amaze me. So delusional.

UT will have the best oline

Again

From the ACC and Big 12. They cannot be any worse than the guys they will be taking over for, but I am still skeptical on whether they will take us to the top of the OL's in the SEC.

Don't think Jarvis Jones was laughing much during the Bama game. Others watched it trust me I hope his run D gets better soon.

If Fluker comes back, Bama.

Fluker would be the best run blocker in the nation, and is better in pass pro than people give him credit for.

Cyrus is a future first round pick.

Steen would be one of the better Guards in the nation.

Kelly was a Freshman All-SEC player.

Arie (I guess) would be the wild card, but if he's anything like CyKo he's gonna be good.

If Fluker doesn't come back, I guess Georgia.

the correct answer is A&M, with or without Luke Hulkel.

I'm gonna have to go with Tennessee on this one.

We only lose our Center but we replace him with a very good one in Waldrop. We return two very very good tackles in Shell and Robinson along with a couple of experienced Guards and, for the first time I can remember, depth all along the line.

I'm looking at the SEC having some very good OLines across the board next season which is why I've been preaching for a couple of years that, when combined with the DLines returning, the SEC is going to be absolutely brutal in the trenches in 2013. Perhaps the best ever top to bottom.

Yep losing Johnson will be a big loss, but the OL overall is improving substantially over this year. Johnson had 40 of the OL's 62 career starts beginning this year, with OT's Shell and Robinson never playing OL before, and Patrick being a back-up until this season.

Now we'll return 4 of the 5 starting OL with a full season worth of starts under their belts, plus Gibson and Matulis with some starts as well. Waldrop will be a question mark replacing Johnson at C as a RS freshmen but he has gotten great reviews this year and hopefully will do fine.

For 2013, we'll have only Patrick as a Sr., Cann and Robinson will be RS Jr.s, and Shell will be a RS So. Matulis and Gibson will be the oldest depth as Jrs each (Matulis a true Jr.) and the rest are all sophs and froshs. So I expect in 2014 our OL to be better than the '13 OL will be....

Tennessee!
