Gaynor starting!? No way.
Richt loves the kid and has had a 4 year starter before at Georgia with a center. Has said publicly that he thinks Gaynor has a good chance to play this season.
Gaynor starting!? No way.
To me the money line up is:
LT- St. Louis/Brown
LG- McDermott
C- Gauthier
RG- Darling
RT-Donaldson
That was Linder actuallyAll I remember is McDoughnut getting thrown around like a cabbage patch doll by that notre dame DT. I think he actually did better at tackle where were set. Please keep off the field.
I love what we have at oline.
We complained about offensive tackles and oline in general and look who the staff brought in...
Donaldson
Herbert
George brown
Zalontae hillery
Got some tough guard prospects
especially in gaynor and then dykstra
I'm encouraged
McDermott also had a ton of penalties & he's not a natural LT... Brown was not brought in to ride pine, all the coaches have stated numerous times they brought him here to be a day 1 contributor.Anyone who watched our final five games can't tell me that McDermott didn't look markedly better as an LT.
Was he perfect? No.
G. Brown has never played in a college football game before. I'm sure that he and St. Louis, Donaldson, Herbert will all get a look at LT but we won five straight with McDermott starting there.
We don't have any returning OL who has shown they can pass block worth a **** at OT. St Louis was an extreme disappointment. He might not make the two deep this year. Darling is a decent run blocker. He has to play OG. I see nothing so far to indicate NFL potential. So far, that is just wishful thinking. When healthy, I think Linder can be a very good college OC. McDermott is just OK. He is another player that is better at OG than OT. Odogwu is coming off a bad injury and is a liability in pass protection at OT.
If this OL can improve to solidly mediocre, however, and the QB is pretty good, we will score enough points to win most games.
This is my best guess currently at how the two deep shakes out:
OT-Donaldson; Odogwu
OG-Darling; Milo
OC-Linder; Mahoney
OG-Gaynor; Gauthier
OT-McDermott; Brown

You're the only guy on this site that would say that.

Get yo negative a55 on. Go look at what we bring back and who we are adding to the group... tf are you a canes fan for? Foh with that dumb sh*t....
The OL was unfairly crucified last year. When you have a completely stationary QB, who can't even slide around in the pocket and had a tendency to stare at the pass rush, you have to be almost perfect as an OL. And that's never going to happen in today's football. The fact that they kept the sack numbers as low as they did is a testament to them and Searels.
Things drastically improved when they moved Linder out too. He's simply way too small and weak and was a total liability. Look at the ND game where he was being tossed around like a midget at my New Year's Eve party. The DT lined up over him was destroying our offense singlehandedly because Linder couldn't impede him. In fact, Linder looked like a catapult in that game. Jones would step on him and launch into the backfield like a giant boulder at an ancient castle.
Take a look at the NC game. If Kaaya was Clemson QB in that game with the same Clemson OL he would have been sacked 14 times, and Clemson would have been blown out. Kaaya has some excellent traits when he has a perfect pocket. Perfect pockets against good teams are super rare.
Look at Mayfield. He's running for his life constantly, but he makes plays by extending plays so no one trashes OU's OL.

This is the same theme you had when you defended Golden. You were Mr. Super fan and rest of us were "mopes." No one in their right mind should love anything about our OL, especially after the atrocious season they just had. It is a lot to ask for freshmen to fix these issues.
