re: BO is building some thing special in CoMo

From 2009-15 Kul coached 13 linemen to double digit TFL seasons. Only two of them did it in their 2nd year on campus. Byars was playing well in the last quarter of the season and Turner taking the next step isn't out of the question.

Hansford and Jeffcoat could have big years but I wouldn't count on it. If they get 6-8 TFLs taking secondary reps it will be a good season as true sophomores. Aldon Smith and Harold Brady were the only two ends Kul coached that went off in their second year in the program. It takes a considerable amount of physical maturity to compete on the edge in any P-5 conference. Most starting OTs in the SEC get a camp invite at worst.

Martin should help on third downs. He could end up taking primary reps if he can set the edge and Turner hasn't improved on setting his rush up.

I like our DT depth. Whiteside and Thompson are two gap players. Elliott will obviously to get primary reps at 3Tech with Daniels or Utsey backing him up. If Daniels lives up to his recruiting ranking there won't be any ground lost up front.

What Walters gets out of Bledsoe and Gillespie is a larger concern to me.

Odom took the best part of his room away from him and brought in another coach that has been proven to put well prepared secondaries on the field. I don't think Walters has a leash that is as long as perceived.
