FtR...I don't know what either player will do here, and neither does anyone else. I think Jordan, for example, is big enough to do great as a short yardage back if he runs behind his pads like he is supposed to . I think at the very least, both add depth and will make the starters better at each position even if they don't get to play much.
As 1 poster already mentioned, every other team knows that our off3nsive line is the weakness of our team. Only 2 players would have seen the field on fulmers 90s teams...2. Out of only 15? I think lineman we have total, counting walkons, transfers, freshmen, and anyone else we could suit up. We are not even 1st strong deep in SEC level talent on the off3ensive line.
For that reason, and that reason alone...I think this is a 6 and 6 or 7 and 5 season...and it will take good coaching to make it to that record and get into the cereal bowl, or the toilet bowl, or whatever crap bowl we can get into. We may start out 2 and 6...very real possibility, in fact i get bookies will tell us that we will do just that. 2 and 6. I believe in Pruitt. I think in a couple years we will win the east, and in 2 years we will be close to winning it and have a shot...but he needs time. Unless he completely blows it, and isn't developing players and recruiting at a high level, which looks good so far...I will be super pizzed if he doesn't get 4 years...and i will butt heads with the negas on here calling for his head after this season or next.
Talent wise, Pruitt didn't inherit a terrible team...but he did get a terrible Oline...with no help on the roster. It will take a couple seasons before we can really impose our will and gameplan on anyone..just because of the line. I think our defense will be decent this year, but stats wpmt look good because theybare always on the field due to 3 and outs like last season...next year our defense can be lights out...If and only if...they can get off the field sometimes while our offense drives...they are killing it with new tight ends coming in, but we need a monumental signing class on guards and tackles...or it will be a long rebuild indeed.
