FWIW last week Richmond was at RT and J Johnson at LT apparently. Maybe the coaches just want to see what they have with him, but Johnson may be ahead of Tatum at this point.

which johnson? ryan or Jamir? lol. you're gonna have to be more specific.... :) i'm assuming Ryan, and i agree.
and yeah, i remember reading about the move with drew to RT. i think i decied to beleive pruitt when he discussed the O line moves last week, as far as just getting them some reps at different spots so they could increase depth via versatility.

if Drew comes out lined up at RT to start, i'd be a little surprised....

That’s fair. There’s several guys who sound more mature. We’ll see though. If the job gets taken away from him, we’ll see.

What would you do in that situation? You got a 3rd year talented kid who everybody knows was mishandled by a garbage coaching staff, but everybody admits is working his ass off trying to get better, and then gets bypassed for a poor to mediocre at best journeyman...I would probably lose it too. The frustration would have to immense to see your dreams crushed like that.

I wouldn't go this far but some of these media guys have quite a bit of arrogance about UT sucking. Please tell me why I am supposed to be shaking at a team that lost to VT, TCU, and Texas, got routed by OU, barely beat Baylor and Iowa State and then got drubbed in the bowl game? Kansas dropped 34 on them and we're supposed to believe that we will struggle to score 20? I think this game will be closer than expected.

The Dillon Bates situation is still puzzling after all these years. How could a kid so highly ranked with an NFL pedigree be such a zero?

Could be a few reasons. Injuries, poor development, and just didn't pan out. It isn't unusual for a 4 star player not to live up to his rating.

Yea i want what gives us the best OL to run the ball and that is with Trey at guard. Because quite honestly i don’t think we are gonna be great at QB no matter what so sure up the run game and put a tight end over there occasionally.

I don’t see any just elite edge rushers anyways to this point on our schedule.

If JG does start and does play well...You are going to look really bad. Your constant crapping on him is the major reason I am so down on the offense.

I think 247 was right. Trey at LT and Drew at RT. I agree Trey's best position is G but our options at G behind him seem a lot more ready at this point than at T. So I think that gets our best 5 on the field. I'm pretty comfortable with them picking 2 of Locklear, Carvin, Ryan Johnson or Calbert at G. I'm less comfortable picking one of Jahmir or Tatum at T at this point. Maybe they can switch later in the season when those two may be more ready, but right now that would be my choice. And I'm assuming that as of the first game, Drew is one starter at T (either right or left depending on Trey being G or LT) and that Hall isn't ready yet.
