Our OL will be at the very worst second best in the conference. We keep everybody plus we add a healthy Jake Cotton and Matt Finnin.

We did lose the guys who started at LG and C most of the year.

Which are deep positions on the team. I fully expect this to be the best line in maybe 10 years.

Pensick and Long were probably the best Lineman we had last year, especially Pensick by the end of the year. I remember an interview, maybe after Iowa, that Pensick was regularly grading out the best out of any lineman. We aren't going to lose much if nothing at all at Center (Jackson was spectacular at pulling). Cotton looks to be an absolute mauler with an attitude, something we haven't had since Henry graduated.

I like how the OL is shaping up, and if they can just get good play in pass protection from the tackles, then we have a top 10 unit in the country to go with all the weapons at the skill positions.

I agree that our line is in good shape this year. But EZ-E said we "keep everybody" which I don't think it totally accurate since we lost two guys who started 10+ games each last year.

 
Hopefully the guys stay at their current position and not get moved around come fall camp. I think that hinders the development of the players when they are continuously moved back and forth along the line.

 
When i first saw this picture, my first reaction was...."Hmmm some of those guys aren't really that big.

But, then i realized that was Martinez in the middle and he is 6' 1". At that height, he looks like a little pee wee.

 
a little doughy ...thats my concern....well that and the decision to even take this picture ...but yeah the strength coach needs to step it up

A little doughy are you serious? Those guys don't even have guts. When you're pushing 300lbs you're not going to look like Arnold in his prime. Based on last year's results I would say our SC program is pretty stout for the Offense.

 
Just because someone isnt chiseled like a fruitcake body builder dont mean they aint stronger than f#*k. Them guys that compete in the world's strongest man competition look a bit "doughy" too.

Not trying to come off sounding like a d!(k....but NO.

The guy has won awards for his strength and conditioning. These guys WILL NOT be chiseled body-builders....that's not how a lineman develops physically.

 
If they looked like chiseled body-builders, this picture would have even more of that homo-erotic vibe. I'm okay with doughy.
