Will Teddy be ready to go?   I think it is doubtful he'll be a part of spring ball.

Benhart, I hope he can regain the mental edge for the game and become a consistent contributor instead of mistake prone obstacle.

With Raiola's past playing experience, I get the feeling he will make us a tough center, whoever he plays there.

I think Hunter & Williams will have big roles, and most likely be starters (Tackle and Guard).  

Lutovsky is the strongest of the group.  Is he ready physically and mentally?

If he's 100% ready, Prochazka starts.  If he isn't, then LT is open.  

It will be interesting to see how Raiola approaches Corcoran, Nouili, Benhart and Piper (spring/summer/fall).  All spots are open for competition, and it's not like these guys have been starters for 2-3 years.

Right now this is where I am leaning..

LT - (SO) Teddy Prochazka / Anthony Hunter (JR) / (SO) Turner Corcoran
LG - (SO) Turner Corcoran or Kevin Williams (JR)
C - (JR) Nouredin Nouili / Ethan Piper (SO) / Trent Hixson (SR)
RG - (rFR) Henry Lutovsky or Kevin Williams (JR)
RT - (JR) Anthony Hunter / (SO) Bryce Benhart /Brant Banks (SO)

Anyone else read Bando’s quote and then immediately hear their coach’s voice in the back of their head say “it’s better to hit (pause for dramatic effect) than be hit?” 

 


Looking at the mediocre play of the OL the last few years hopefully this approach will lead to much improved play. It couldn't get a whole lot worse.
