Rhett Lashlee on Joe Rose

The Franchise said:
No way. There's no rhyme or reason. They're all over the place mixing and matching and are clueless who will play. We need some cohesion immediately on the OL, or the season is shot.

This.

It's been explained by both posters & the Coaches...

They're creating versatility in the event that one of the starters goes down that they can reshuffle the line & still have a consistent 5 without a steep drop off in play.

That's why Zion has gotten reps at LT, not because he's gonna start but because if Campbell were to get hurt they want him to be ready to move into that spot seamlessly & be comfortable, he'll also be playing Guard this year.

Same situation with Ousman Traore, he's the primary LG, but he's taken reps at both C & RG, because if Gaynor went down, only he & Jakai Clark have experience taking snaps at Center.

Lash & Justice are trying to build us a 2 deep that's strong enough to sustain the ebb & flow of a crazy *** season.

The problem is fans get snippets from scrimmages & practices & think that's the whole of everything we're doing, the staff is strategic about what they put out for a reason, not everyone who has performed well has been reported on & not every stat gets released.

The coaches know who is going to start, but there's a method to the madness in not setting anything in stone for the public to consume.

So in a shortened off season, instead of letting the starting o line get as much work together as possible, which is made up of dudes who haven't had much time to play together, you're going to spend what time you do have on number 2's based on a what if situation? Oh yeah, and to obfuscate fans.

I hope Lashlee does well, but please stop with giving him a raise & hope he stays brigade until we play some games. People were afraid of Penos going back to Mich. St or elsewhere last year preseason as well so the bellyaching needs to stop. We have the spread finally, enjoy it!

No & that's not a very smart way to look at it.

The starting 5 has gotten the reps they need, but they're also making sure the backups can play too because in the game of football injuries happen quite often, especially to big guys, so you have to prepare for all scenarios in the event they happen so if they do you're not completely blindsided & devasted by it. It's called building depth.

The starters get plenty of work, just because it's not reported doesn't mean it's not happening. I don't understand why that's so difficult for people to figure out.

Have to be thorough to make sure all bases are covered. A stark contrast to previous OL coaches around here.

This.

Clark is getting time at guard and center , I always thought his highest ceiling was center.

Pretty sure rivers is getting time at guard and tackle.
 
Campbell - Gaynor - Scaife and Williams have been in the starting 5 since camp started.

The guys that are playing multiple positions are the back ups that we need for depth.

Not sure what everyone is talking about here.
