It has to be a bit alarming that we have had so many olineman retire from injuries the past couple seasons? I don't know the statistics for other schools but that has to be a pretty high percentage in a short period of time. We are either extremely unlucky or have been using some high risk methods

Not just OL but think of how many injuries we had during Butch's tenure. I don't think we ever had a fully healthy squad.

Was there something in the conditioning from the old staff, or were they picking a body type at OL that would get mauled in the SEC?

Bad recruiting By Butch he went for stars and didn’t care about their medical issues add to it his dumb practice method and no strength conditioning. This is not the new coaching staffs fault.

Crosby was recruited as a DL out of HS if I remember correctly. Maybe the switch to OL was rougher on his body than others.

Yes, but we continue to sign highly rated linemen who don’t work out for one reason or another. Leaves us always working from behind. Not ideal.

So far we're just medically retiring a lot of people that Butch fought were good recruits but obviously are not fit to be on the field with Pruitt

In terms of progress, my hopes are fairly modest, just don't get blown out by anyone except the really good teams, i.e. the teams that end up with 9 or more regular season wins, and then let it be depth that beats us. Do that and have the rest of the games be close losses at worst while getting to 6-7 wins, and that'll be something for CJP to point to. That's doable, even with our current roster.

I don’t disagree with anything your saying, but it’s heartbreaking to read that. Man we have truly fallen.
