I don't want to rain on any of Yall's 'We Back" parade, because boy I enjoy reading them. But any of you guys ever watch Friday Night football in the state of Florida? There is talent galore at the skills - its the teams with good line play that win - you might say outside of youth football, its the same at all levels. Think Brady would talk about playing till he's 45 if he didn't have one of the best O-lines in the league?
No, I'm not from Missouri, "The Show Me State" but still - every thing I see about 2019 shows the O-Line is still going to be suspect. Yes they improved a little, but we're still hoping guys step up like what didn't happen last year, or banking on Grad transfers.
I've mentioned before, O-lines have to gel, and play together as a unit, and that takes time. Plus we haven't even got a QB yet. And like last year we open up against an SEC front seven - doesn't matter if their QB is inconsistent he'll have more experience then ours and that front seven, even with the guys they lost will be tough because to survive in the SEC, you know very clearly the type of guys you gotta recruit hard, plus they hot the transfer portal hard too. And early on its easier on the D to play well than the O.
One last: remember years ago when some Einstein started paying the great LTs WRs money? That's because an LT is instrumental in 100% of the plays from scrimmage, and a WR maybe 10-15. Follow the logic.
Like that
