He's got McCoy on skates in one of those pics. I know it's only one pic, but I think he will be a real weak link on our OL this year, wish someone would beat him out.

Not saying McCoy won't have his challenges. But another possibility is that Blount is becoming the freak we all knew he would grow into. Bain and Mesidor made a lot of future NFL linemen look bad.

This is why I keep saying he is an edge bro that length and power is needed to replace bain.

He’s not the same size but my comp for him is Greg Rousseau, big run stopping edge than can move inside. He may be more agile than greg tho but i think they win in similar ways

I am one who has always said his future is at DT, but there is no denying how his power at DE is elite and will be difficult for any tackles, at the college level, to handle.

I would not be mad at him being 1st team field (strong) DE, 25 snaps per game and 2nd boundary DT, 15 snaps per game.

I do think he will be like Bain and just refuse to come off the field, how many times did we see someone run on the field to sub out Bain only for him to send they *** back to the sideline. I could see that same mentality with Blount, outside on 1st and 2nd down and just slide down on third.

Is Armando still only 18 right now? I think he came in at 16, so that would put him at 18 or maybe he just turned 19. People forget about that. AB looked good in the CFP. But I'm betting he is going to take a major step forward this season. Day 1 talent.

Also, remember how many people on here said move him inside? I can see him at 3 tech or even over center on rush downs. But he still looks like a SDE to me as of today. Either way, our DL is going to be ridiculously talented and deep.

Yessir. Enrolled January 2024. Turned 17 in February 2024. Just turned 19 last month.

Some of that early move him inside talk was calculating the fact that we had Jayden Wayne, Bain, Meisdor, Collins Acheampong, Cyrus Moss at edge; and after missing out on Stone/Breland @ DT while acquiring Marquise Lightfoot, Elias Rudolph, and Booker Pickett at edge in the same class as Blount, his talents would be better suited for the inside.

Agree with you that he can be a 3-tech on passing downs yet still a SDE. We are multiple yet i bet we’ll see a lot of 4 man fronts with Lightfoot standing up as WDE while Scott-Moten-Blount all have their hands in the ground rushing. JT/Hetherman/Lewis/Cristobal appear to value versatility and these sorta tweener-big DEs and just under 300 pounds DTs. It’s almost like they’d rather have 3-4 of those body types rather than anything else.

It's all good, sir, I am just having a tough time keeping track of which practice we are on, when the subject lines are in Spanish!

This is the ONE TIME I regret taking 4 years of Latin in high school, instead of 4 years of Spanish...

If i had taken Latin in HS my SAT score in the English section would’ve been 100 points higher :roll-canes2:

Yeah, some confusion over whether this was three or four because of the lack of media availability on Friday. If a hurricane hits in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?:stormwarningflag-sm:

I just put #3 cuz of Dennis Smith although I knew it had been the fourth.

It's crazy to think Blount will have 3 full seasons of college football and still only by 19 years old. He is going to wreak havoc.
