I mean, I hope you are right... but depending on 3 hotshot true Freshman to fix our OLine is disconcerting... almost as disconcerting depending on a 1st team pre season ALL SEC Tackle, a 3 year starter 2nd Team Pre Season ALL SEC Center, and a huge Senior Transfer who came from a D1AA program where he was an all conference player and numerous D1 teams were after...

Pyke was voted preseason All-SEC as an "OL" and I don't think the media considered the position change. Some guys are versatile enough to alternate positions (Clint Boling, Kolton Houston, etc) and Pyke was not one of those guys, but he was our most experienced lineman and was apparently the best possible option. I guess the media also overlooked the fact that he was benched midway through the following season at guard.

Catalina may have been a good player at Rhode Island and he physically looked the part, but it was clearly an enormous leap in competition. Neither of these guys were capable of consistently handling the pass rush they were facing every Saturday.
I do believe that, at the end of the day, coaches should be held accountable for the play on the field. It took Chaney too damn long last season to adjust the scheme to better fit the players and his overall track record doesn't leave me with high expectations. However, there's more talent/depth to work with and some legitimate competition at key positions, so it's not unrealistic to expect the offensive line to play at a higher level this season.

It's almost time to see who is right about those 3 OL. You and the meaningless preseason voters will look silly if none of them make a nfl squad.

They did, and Peter buck continues to do the same.

Wynn was the most talented of the 2016 guys and an elite freshman or two might become starters.

You absolutely can't say with a straight face that the top lineup is more talented than the bottom. And I know you said "the starters", but if Sims is still starting a few games into the season at tackle I'll set my shorts on fire.

Yall are stating that we should be crazy not to think players who have never played a down of college football, will be light years ahead of 3 Senoirs who had years of starts between them and numerous accolades. 3 guys who were good enough to get invited to NFL camps, which, contrary to popular opinion here, is no easy task and contradicts the assessments of the experts on this site.
Again, I hope you are right... or at least I hope the coaches learned from their mistakes last year.

The names of subpar uga players who have made camps is long and makes you look silly with such denials.

There are subpar players who are 1st round draft picks and free agents who did not do much in College who become starters in the NFL...
Still, they don't just let anyone in an NFL camp... especially 3 players from a "pouros" O-line... they just don't waste the time or money with them.

Nobody ever listens to me. It makes me sad.
Eason struggled as a TF. Made alot of mistakes. Defenses didn't respect him. Stacked the box. As Peter said in previous posts, it's a numbers game. When you run 5 blockers into 8 tacklers, you're gonna have a bad time.
If Eason improves, the OL improves.
Not the other way around.

Eason and the oline would both benefit from unpredictable play calling. If we see loaded boxes and few passes on first and second down the offense will suck. I fear Kirby's influence on the offense more than I fear Chaney.

Eason has to graduate to the position of being able to change calls, Murray style. If he struggles with this, we have a suitable backup.

You're absolutely right. Eason is the key.
Everyone is overthinking the O line. By all accounts Pittman is one of the best so he should be able to get more improvement for year 2 than we had with year 1. Just like all of the other coaches.
I'm prepared to be patient because I honestly think we'll improve. And I mean not only winning more games - but actually thinking we have a chance to win if we make it to Atlanta. That hasn't been the case in a while.

Kirby learned from a run first HC. Expect more of the same.

This idea is highly flawed. Of course it can be the other way around
