4 Guards and Center

Well if we only got 4 guards and a center, better work on the short passing and run game, hey that's exactly what we're doing... Maybe this coach is a genius. IMHO What's gonna kill us is not our first string, but our invisible third.

This team may give Florida a scare in the swamp, while also getting blown out by Kentucky. By the end of the season we may have tackles at guard, receivers as tailback, LBs as DEs. It's gonna be a miss mash of mismatches and not too pretty when the Dawgs welcome us to Athens and we're playing our 4th string DT, who moonlights as a tight end.

But saying all that, I think this team will be fun to watch. Great defenses take years to develop (I just kept waiting on CJP), great offense with the right personal can be seen in perhaps the very first season.

Anyone else concerned Mays and Wright playing out of position are our best options at tackle?

Yes, but at least it is two 5* doing it. OL definitely offers most cause for concern with possible exception to LB.

And this right here is why you guys hoping for all these wins are delusional- we are severely handcuffed by lack of depth. The good teams are three deep- little way to compete with that - one game- sure - but 12 of of em? Ooof.

Agreed. I am curious… do we even have bodies? Just hoping we do so depth can be coached up throughout the season.

I remember us ripping on his tackle play for them in the game thread when he played tackle against Baylor in the Sugar Bowl after both their starting tackles opted out for the draft.

Yeah, he caught hell from the uga fans too. They believed he knew he was leaving and didn't really care about his performance. Hope that wasn't true (that he wouldn't do that) but if he didn't, he got his butt handed to him quite a few times.

Missouri, UK Ole Miss, Pitt and South Carolina are not 3 deep with quality players


UGA, Bama and maybe Florida are 3 deep with quality players

And this is exactly where so many naysayers miss it. They just assume that programs like UK and Mizzou will get better or "reload" without considering that even over the last few rough years... they don't sign as much talent. They sign and develop guys but there's always a risk with that idea (as we've seen) that the guys you develop don't have the ceiling you hoped. The more projects you depend on. The higher your chances of getting a lot of misses. Mizzou is forever dependent on finding and developing "projects". UK has been too.

He played really poorly at tackle against them last year also. It had a direct hand in some of the disastrous events of the second half. He should be a grizzled vet this year no matter where he plays, no excuses either way if he wants to be a high draft pick, but I'd feel best about him at guard. Hopefully Dayne Davis and Darnell Wright assert themselves so that we can slide Cade inside next to Cooper. That's our best chance at a dominant unit I think.

He didn’t play well sure but let’s start where it always should start: his coach was trash to start with and at the end only did enough to draw a check.

Been saying this for a while now… it makes me question this new staff… playing the “best 5” is not the best strategy as we have seen over the last decade. Also, look at Trey Smith… don’t play a guard at Tackle
