One thing about this group, they sure know how to keep a straight poker face! and blow a lot of smoke too.

Re: Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line
 

[quote=Gmanc711;692916]So what does everyone think at this point?

I'm hoping our line looks something like this:


Williams, Dockery, Rabach, Hicks/M. Williams, Hicks/F. Adams.

I'm still all for signing Flozel Adams for a year or two until we can draft some more linemen.

I'm not the best evaluator of talent on the offensive line, but what are the reports on Hicks and Mike Williams coming into this year? I know Williams was better suited for a gaurd play, but I could never really tell because we just looked so bad last year.[/quote]

I hope it looks like Williams/Hicks/Williams/Rinehart/Bushrod by next year.

Yep, lock it up for the next 10 years! This shows nothing!

haha

Re: Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line
 

I can just pencil in Williams instead of Okung now, and my origional group remain unchanged.

T. Williams L/T
D. Dockery L/G
C. Rabach C
M. Williams R/G
A. Hicks R/T

Subject to change between now and then.

[quote=SmootSmack;689757]That's such a peculiar set-up there: former HC Jim Zorn is the QB coach, former HC Al Saunders is the Senior Offensive Consultant, former HC Cam Cameron is the Offensive Coordinator[/quote]

and... Former special teams coach is HC - maybe that's why he has all those former head coaches on offense.

Re: Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line
 

First game of the season, I am going to go with:

LT: Adams/Jones/Gaither or J. Brown (Brown if I have to pick a guy now)
LG: Dock
C: Rabach
RG: Big Mike Williams
RT: T. Williams

I like what the Ravens did last year with Oher. They let a vet hold down LT and made Oher a RT at first. Of course our problem is that we don't have an established LT on the roster like the Ravens did.

We have to get another starting calibre Left Tackle on our team before the beginning of the year.

If Heyer is on the roster, he needs to be the third option for LT and second at RT at best...

Re: Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line
 

I don't think Mike Williams is going to cut it. He's way too slow. I want Rinehart in the mix. He was highly regarded coming out...

The coaches seem to like him. I think BMW got downfield a couple of times to mangle someone last year. It seems to me that BMW is better in pass pro than Rinehart.

Rinehart wasn't as highly regarded as BMW. BMW was a top 10 pick.

I am confident that both guys along with Hicks will get a legitimate shot and the best guy will play.

I agree, and think that the center of our line could be pretty good with the talent we have and the competition of camp.

Re: Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line
 

There's some talk of actually moving Heyer inside to guard. Probably something they'll experiment with this summer

I like this idea he can't do worse than he did at Tackle and can be large enough to do it..

Re: Predict Our Five Starters On the O-Line
 

I don't think it matters much. When we have a good OL Heyer will not be starting on it at any position. Some guys are just backups and if he can be a servicable backup at T & G then I guess thats a good thing.
