Career starts is a bad one to use.
For a guy like Laremy Tunsil, yeah. Sucks.
For a guy like Aaron Morris, addition by subtraction.
Justin Bell hardly played in the Egg Bowl. Sims got most snaps at RG, and had Patterson and Taylor not been dinged up, they would've LG. Losing Cooper sucks.
The way I look at it:
Tunsil - ~30 starts
Morris - ~20 starts
Cooper - 25 starts
Bell - ~ 20 starts
Starting line:
Little - 0 starts, elite talent tho. Didn't bother Tunsil any in '13
Patterson - ~ 6 starts, rotated with starters whole 2015
Conyers - ~20 starts
Taylor - ~10 starts, Sims also started late 2015 and treated like starter most of the year
Rawlings - 7 starts
It's not like we're shuffling three to four starters out there who have never been in that situation outside of garbage games.
Four (Patterson, Conyers, Taylor, Rawlings) all started against Bama. It's not going to be some cliff drop off.
Losing Tunsil and Cooper sucks. Interior will be better though. Young, more talented players.
Patterson and Taylor were both heavily coveted by Bama. Conyers was our starting center until he got hurt. Rawlings started while Tunsil was out and held his own early as a redshirt freshman. Trial by fire.
We're going to be fine at OL next year, assuming Greg Little signs and we don't get a case of the injury bug. Grasping at straws.

Losing a guy like Morris with 19 starts these last two years is addition by subtraction? If his relief was so good then why was Morris out there to begin with? Why not just play the backup from the get go?
You forgot Still's 20 starts at center over the last two seasons.
Where did you get the stat line for your projected starters for '16? A couple of those numbers are WAY OFF.
Anytime you try to slide a true freshman into the starting lineup that is asking for trouble. Especially along the oline. I don't care how good he is. Especially someone that not only hasn't signed yet but, isn't even committed.
Taylor didn't start VS bama.
