On average were probably middle if the pack or a little smaller but our guys are more athletic and just plain better than most, if not all in the conference.


Auburn's line is still the class of the SEC. But the rate that Aggies are putting Top 10 pick linemen in the NFL is very impressive.

Does being 6'10" ever create problems for your own QB? I suppose not, but myself being only 6', I'm not just worried about throwing the ball over those big dudes, but I can picture myself not even being able to see over or around them to see my WR's.

Generally 6'10 is on the upper end of linemen that dont end up being good at all. Just too tall.

Looks to me Mizzou does ok size wise on the edges but can use more beef at the guard spots.

I'm curious how it works as well. I would have to imagine that it causes issues at times. He's definitely the most athletic 6'10 OL I've ever seen. He blocked three FG's last year and is a beast as the puller on power runs.

He's also good for great photos such as this one:

Huge road grading guards are a must in a power run game IMO, especially in this conference. Not so much needed in a spread system though.

depends on if dom jackson gets a start

currently its
LT Cam Rob 6'6" 325
LG Arie K 6'5" 315
C Ryan Kelly 6'5 290
LG Leon Brown 6'6 313
RT Austin Sheppard 6'5 315

If Jackson replaces someone hes 6'7 320. Kelly kinda drives the average down on weight

I think they said Kelly had gotten to 298 in the spring and hopefully he will be over 300 by fall..he has a hard time putting on weight

Looks like he's about to get pancaked by a DB.

UGA is going the other direction.

We tried to replicate 2008 Bama and it didn't get us there.

For the first time in a long time, we should have 2 true tackles out there instead of guards with good feet.

The center position is less about size and more about leverage. Both tackles and center all around 300.

We'll average about 310, I'm guessing.
Lots of hurry up and gassing out the defenses.

If by pancaked you mean bitten in the ankle...

I think Jackson and Grant Hill start over shepard and kouandjio. Arie sucks... straight up. Austin Shepard is about as average as they come. We need Jackson at RT IMO to steam roll some people like Fluker did.

I know I wanted him. And I wanted him to play basketball and beat the hell out of some centers for 5 fouls a game.
