We need more physical OL with a nasty streak.

Arky big boi is essentially a 5 star by on3 and 247. And he's versatile across the line

as long as they can move their 300 pound arse down the field to block for the run

We averaged 321 pounds across our starting o-line this year and them sumbitches couldn't run block for anything

Mules!

I agree. Along these same lines I was wondering about Brett Bordelon. I've seen him listed at 250 and 260 and wonder how much "good weight" he can add. I know Breaux was able to come in and add weight in the off-season so it's possible; I can see adding 20 pounds but I'm thinking Brett Bordelon would need 40-50 pounds? Though Bo Bordelon is listed as 310 on the roster, so maybe it's possible...

He looks like he has long arms and quick feet. I wonder if he's going to be looked at as a LT.

A primary reason they are on the team.

I don’t believe their heights and weights at all. I’ll bet anything Campbell isn’t 6’6 320 lbs.

300lbs means nothing if they aren't athletic. 300lb bucket-assed O-linemen are only ideal if you want to do nothing more than run between the tackles. But in today's game you need OL who can move. There is a reason you don't see many sloppy, fat, O-linemen in the NFL. Unless they are like 6'7, the NFL doesn't really want 330lb OL.

Yup

Agreed. Plus we tend to forget about Weston Davis and Tyree Adams from last year’s class as well. The OLine is in great shape for the future. We just need the center position to step up big time.

Hopefully we can get Emory jones back
Posted on 12/4/24 at 12:32 pm to snackpack
Emory would be dumb to come back and I doubt he does. He’s getting 1st round grades. That pretty much = gone
Posted on 12/4/24 at 12:33 pm to boudinman
Curne is legit. He’s got that nasty streak in him that you like in an OL. Especially an IOL

A lot of people don't understand how weird O line is without playing it. I didn't give up a sack in 11 years, I beat double teams against my own guys because I was in killer mode that day, its not as logical as people think. I've tried to train a younger kid 3 inches taller and 30 lbs heavier and he didn't have it in him at all.
It's a skilled position and a passionate position. When its time to pass block, you've got to be an athlete. Fast feet, strong fast hands that stay on target, and a sense of the pocket. When it's run block, you've got to grit your fricking teeth, hit like a bull, get under them, and drive them to the sky and be a monster trying to draw blood, plus ready to find a new victim if you pancake that d lineman. It really feels like two different skill sets entirely, and you've gotta pay close attention to each one individually during evaluation.
