Offensive Line a Strength?

With no passing game, its difficult to run the ball, even with an outstanding O-line. That's when you need a Bryce Brown type player who can makes big plays when ordinary backs get 2-3 yards.

I think the reality is 6'7" and 370lbs prospects with no fat, end up on the field fast.

Yeah, you can't "teach" that. A coach that I know was in T-town a couple of weeks ago and was watching the team practice (on their own). He said Fluker was dominating our Defensive Lineman, just toying with them. And we have some pretty good DL. He will start from game one, just like Smith did. Smith looked out of shape at the NFL combines. He has never been in the shape Fluker is. Fluker is, basically, a freak of nature.

Wow, Fluker is 370lbs? He doesn't look that heavy. Ryan Clady is 6'6"/325lbs and he's a monster in the NFL. If he is 370, I think he needs to drop a few pounds...he looks like beast, none the less.

I believe they will be strong. The offense will be much simpler and we will have quicker running backs that will hit the holes much faster than Foster did last year.

Hardesty, Creer, and Poole all faired just as poorly- maybe worse.
