That's been the word...changes in the works for the OL...so we'll see. It will be interesting to see what combos we try this week. Maybe they can start Jones on creatine shots to get him the road grader power he needs at LT so Salyer can stay at guard. And maybe see what those young guys like Willock and Lindberg can do at guard.

Though comments from Salyer suggested that the issues with the line were mostly related to missing "details" -- blown assignments, going the wrong way, etc.

Ericsson I somewhat get because he’s playing out of position and due to injury. He’s tiny for a guard in our system because he’s really a center. But make no mistake. The guy blows assignments and gets abused by talented players. That just can’t happen.

The one that really grinds my gears though is Schaffer. Jesus H man. You have the ideal guard body but the mindset of a lazy lion. You go out and hunt and eat like 5 snaps a game. The rest you basically loaf around. He misses assignments too which is baffling considering he has 2+ years experience starting at guard.

I keep hoping Jones will step up because he’s supposedly the closest to being ready but idk if we’ll see it. Then again I think we blew a golden opportunity to put him in as a full time starter against UAB and USC and see how he does as the guy under fire.
